Invest in women. Influence change.

This is the first time I had a choice. Where to work and to share my faith.

Refugee, DFJ Artisan

At DFJ I learned I'm a hard worker. I also gained a better understanding of self-worth, which is something I'm still working on. DFJ also taught me not all women are against me.

Trafficking Survivor, DFJ Artisan

For the first time I understood I had a purpose. And God was in it.
