Anti-Human Trafficking
Rapha House | Aftercare
With the combined goal to eradicate human trafficking,
partnerships with the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation ®
support an anti-trafficking model in partnership with 3Strands
Global (Prevention), Rapha House (Aftercare), and Operation
Underground Railroad (Rescue).
3Strands Global | Prevention
After the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation announced a partnership with 3Strands Global
in 2017, work immediately began to expand the PROTECT program beyond the borders of
California. PROTECT provides human trafficking prevention education to students and teachers
in an effort to prevent the potential exploitation of children. This is accomplished by providing
information for teachers to implement in the general school curriculum for students in grades
5, 7, 9, and 11. California school districts are using the PROTECT program with measurable and
objective markers of success amongst students and teachers.
Thailand Art Therapy Center
After announcing a partnership with Rapha House in 2017, the dōTERRA Healing Hands
Foundation ® committed to funding an art therapy center at the Thailand Rapha House
aftercare facility. The Therapy Center was funded in 2018, and provides a creative outlet for
girls rescued from sex trafficking during their recovery at the Rapha House aftercare center.
Cambodia Center Updates
In addition to the computers, the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation supported the Rapha
House aftercare facility in Cambodia in 2018 by purchasing a new vehicle to transport the
girls, funding a freedom center, and providing a cover for the play area to encourage outdoor
activities for the girls.
Aftercare Center Computers
The dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation provided funding in 2018 to equip all of the Rapha
House aftercare facilities, including the upcoming Haiti aftercare campus, with computers.
These computers will allow Rapha House staff to maintain connectivity and receive
important updates, and serve as an important resource to the aftercare residents.
In April 2018, 3Strands Global founder Ashlie Bryant met with Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes
at a press conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, to announce a three-year rollout of the PROTECT
program in Utah. This rollout will make the PROTECT anti-sex trafficking curriculum available
to all Utah teachers, and is currently piloting in two Utah school districts: Alpine and Granite.

Haiti Aftercare Campus
The dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation
and Rapha House began plans in 2018 to
build an aftercare facility that will house
survivors rescued from sex trafficking. The
campus will include eight housing units, a
main office, a kitchen and indoor gathering
facility, a covered gazebo, a guard shack,
and a wall around the campus to ensure the
safety and security of the survivors.
Matching Campaigns
In September of 2018, dōTERRA Presidential
Diamonds Kyle and Kierston Kirschbaum
headed a fundraising campaign to provide
a new vehicle for the upcoming Rapha
House aftercare center in Haiti, of which
the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation
matched $15,000. The following month,
Rapha House hosted a fundraising
campaign on Giving Tuesday with a goal
to raise $40,000, which the dōTERRA
Healing Hands Foundation also agreed
to match. The campaign exceeded
expectations, raising $69,499 for aftercare
of children rescued from sex trafficking
all around the world.
