Stop traffickingbefore it starts.

Sita's House teaches parents the warning signs, working with churches and group homes. For kids in foster care and safe houses, we teach money and life skills, then a trade, and help them rent and later buy a home when the time is right.

Our mission

Sita's House protects and empowers youth and survivors vulnerable to trafficking and abuse through targeted community education and trust-building.

How we do it

Prevention first, then a path home

Each step builds on the one before it, and nobody is rushed to the next.

  1. Prevention

    Parents who know the warning signs.

    We teach parents how trafficking works, including the ways it starts online, and what to do if they are worried. We bring these classes to churches and group homes.

  2. Life skills

    Money and life skills for kids in care.

    Kids in foster care and safe houses learn how money works and how to run a household before they have to do it alone.

  3. Trades and credit

    A trade, and a credit history to go with it.

    Kids who are interested and old enough learn a trade from people who work in it, and start building credit.

  4. Renting and owning

    First a lease, later a house.

    When the time is right, we help young people rent their first place, and later buy a home of their own.

Who Sita's House is for

Parents and caregivers

Our classes are for anyone raising or caring for kids: parents, grandparents, foster parents, and the staff of group homes. You'll learn the warning signs and what to do if you're worried.

Kids in foster care and safe houses

If you're in foster care or living in a safe house, we can teach you money and life skills now, and help you work toward a trade and a place of your own. Before you tell us anything, we'll explain what stays private and what the law asks adults to report for anyone under 18.

Support a survivor

There's more than one way to stand with a young person who has been hurt or is at risk. Host a class, bring our programs to the kids in your care, teach a trade, or cover something they need.

Everyone who works alongside young people completes a background check and safety training first.
