Shema: addressing and alleviating extreme poverty and human trafficking

Shema is our response to a hurting world. Our aim is addressing and alleviating extreme poverty and human-trafficking through engaging in ethical textile manufacturing and documenting the work by highlighting those involved globally through film. We chose Shema for our company name. A word meaning "hear," Shema reflects our vision to hear with our hearts and listen for a new way. We aim to plant 25 new sewing co-operatives in the next five years, employing at-risk or rescued survivors of human trafficking in Southeast Asia.
