WHO WE ARE
We bring light to those surrounded by darkness
The DEMP Project is a faith-based, nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing victims enslaved in the sex trafficking industry. We were established in 2015 and are located in Jacksonville, Florida. DEMP’s goal is to eradicate sex slavery and sex-for-sale businesses in our local community. Our team has spent the last four years providing spiritual and physical resources to those who find themselves living this life. We build unconditional relationships meeting individuals where they are at and bringing the light of Christ to the darkness.
Our goal is to help the victims and their families make the transition to a better life. We assist in providing housing, life coaching, employment skills, and other essentials for an everyday life. Whatever the need, we are here to help! We will fight with these courageous women as they fight to take back control of their lives, and the future of their families.
