Variety – the Children’s Charity of the Desert
Formed in the Coachella Valley in 1987, Variety – the Children’s Charity of the Desert is dedicated to promoting the health, mobility, independence and social inclusion of special needs and disadvantaged children throughout the Coachella Valley. By providing life-enriching assistance to Coachella Valley children, Variety hopes to help children experience all the joys of childhood while growing to become confident, independent and free to access all that the world has to offer.
Our vision is that all children, regardless of ability or income, are able to actively participate in their communities and experience all the joys that come with being a kid. We believe that all children should have support to reach their full potential.
i5 Freedom Network
Since 2015, the i-5 Freedom Network has been working to empower survivors of human trafficking, equip hotels with the tools to identify and safely report suspected trafficking activity, and mobilize entire communities to take informed action to end human trafficking.
Our founder, Brenda Wells, was impacted by the prevalence of human trafficking globally and locally and was stunned to discover the lack of services and resources for survivors once they had been "rescued" from the life of trafficking. Without vocational training, reliable transportation, job placement support, and a sustainable income, survivors are at high risk of recidivism when adequate services are absent.
Today, the i-5 Freedom Network has provided critical training and resources for more than 400 English- and Spanish-speaking stabilized participant survivors annually, the tools for thousands of workers in the hospitality industry to become heroes in the fight against human trafficking, and engagement opportunities for the public at large to be aware of the warning signs and how to take action. Located in San Clemente, CA and led by an engaged Board of Directors and a dedicated team of volunteers, the i-5 Freedom Network has become an integral part of the healing process for human trafficking survivors throughout the greater Orange County and Southern California area and a powerful ally in the fight to end human trafficking.
