Cape Town, South Africa: Restoration from Exploitation

Madison Barefield (2018: Cape Town, South Africa) will be interning with S-CAPE, working to bring restoration to the victims of sex trafficking through running workshops for residents, helping to develop a sustainable business plan and teaching entrepreneurial skills.

Hello! My name is Madison Barefield.  I am traveling to Cape Town, South Africa and volunteering with S-CAPE, a safe home that brings restoration to survivors of sex trafficking.  This will be my second time working at S-CAPE and while I am there I will be grant writing, running workshops with our residents, and helping to develop and implement a sustainable business plan.
