She is Safe

What She is Safe does

She Is Safe is a faith-based nonprofit organization headquartered in Roswell, Georgia, founded in 2002 by Michele Rickett, a self-identified survivor of childhood commercial sexual exploitation. The organization works to prevent, rescue, and restore women and girls who are at risk of trafficking, abuse, child marriage, and sexual slavery in high-risk communities across six regions: India, Indonesia, Nepal, South Sudan, Myanmar, and the Middle East. Core programs include She Is Safe Groups (also called Transformation Groups) — community-based economic empowerment cohorts that reached 4,988 women and teen girls across 326 active groups — Rescue Operations that position local teams in slums, red light districts, border areas, and refugee camps, and Restoration Homes that provide safe housing, trauma counseling, and job training to rescued survivors.

The organization does not develop or rely on proprietary technology; programs are delivered through human relationships and on-the-ground partnerships with indigenous churches and local nonprofits that operate as distribution nodes in target communities. Prevention programming includes micro-business skills, savings groups, anti-trafficking awareness, literacy, and spiritual development. RescueOne is a $35-per-month recurring donor sponsorship program that links individual givers to specific beneficiary interventions.

She Is Safe generates revenue exclusively through donations. Primary streams are individual donations (monthly RescueOne recurring gifts and one-time gifts acquired via website, email, and social media), church partnerships that mobilize congregations as donors and advocates, business/corporate partnerships, peer-to-peer fundraising through a dedicated give.sheissafe.org platform, and grants and fundraising events. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer to donors combined with community-led delivery to beneficiaries, supported by US-based Advocacy and Church Engagement programs. Credibility is reinforced by ECFA membership, the Candid transparency seal, and the ROI Top 10 ministry ranking, with annual independent audits conducted by Mersereau, Lazenby, and Rockas.
