    Churches, government, market-place leaders, and non-profits have been collaborating to raise advocacy, develop preventative programs, and build a holistic secure community for rehabilitation of those coming out of child prostitution.

    It has been the collective belief that the city of Phoenix could be an example to cities in our nation and around the world of the enormous potential when different sectors of society come together to meet physical, spiritual and social needs.

        • Against the darkness that blinds those that enable and perpetuate this destructive cycle.
        • Every young person enslaved tonight, and tomorrow, and...
        • The development of programs poised to rescue and restore innocent victims released from the world of slavery.
    branded is presently working on tangible ways to fight this injustice from changing legislation to building a safehouse.  Updates will be made available.

    More info:  http://www.projectcure.org/

    Project C.U.R.E. exists to identify, solicit, collect, sort and distribute medical supplies and services according to the imperative needs of the world. Project C.U.R.E. is the world’s largest supplier of donated medical supplies and equipment.

    Before delivering medical relief, Project C.U.R.E. requires an in-depth, on-sight Needs Assessment study of the recipient organization, hospital or clinic by a representative of Project C.U.R.E. Following the Needs Assessment study, Project C.U.R.E. compiles an inventory list of available medical supplies and equipment from our extensive inventory in the collection centers in the U.S. and the U.K. Generally, Project C.U.R.E. delivers medical relief in 40-foot ocean-going cargo containers. When necessary approvals of the inventory are received by Project C.U.R.E., the cargo container is loaded and transported to a port city and stacked aboard an ocean-going ship.
