Dignity Coconuts was born in 2010 and is a social enterprise with a mission to stop modern-day slavery for coconut farming communities. Years of nonprofit work fighting trafficking revealed many of the women were trafficked from poor rural farming areas. The coconut industry uses predatory loans and corrupt buying practices to enslave farmers, leaving them vulnerable to trafficking.
Erik Olson, USA President of Dignity Coconuts, highlights what they are doing to help fight modern day slavery.
