Everyone deserves a healthy meal. But in some communities, healthy food simply isn't available. The GrowHaus is a non-profit urban farm and market in one such community - northeast Denver’s Elyria-Swansea neighborhood. Our mission is to support the growth of healthy, self-empowered communities in Elyria-Swansea and beyond through education, improving food access, and urban agriculture.
Human Trafficking Clinic
Human trafficking is one of the fastest growing human rights violations in the world today. Around the globe and in your backyard there are anywhere between 12-27 million people forced to harvest crops, sell sex, make clothes, and work in other inhumane situations without pay. Even though slavery has existed for centuries, today’s response to human trafficking and modern slavery is plagued with term confusion, unreliable data, and lack of inter-organizational communication. The Human Trafficking Clinic . . . aim[s] to provide research that improves inter-organizational cooperation and accountability, influences policy, and raises awareness in combating human trafficking and modern slavery.
