Two million trees, twenty years
Restoring a devastated forest back to its former glory

Upon returning to Brazil from being away, the couple was distraught by the level of deforestation that was taking place. Lélia suggested that the most effective way to resolve deforestation is through reforestation so the couple founded a small organization named Instituto Terra.

A path to freedom
A 2016 study from Northeastern University found that one of the most effective ways to increase human trafficking arrests is by posting the National Human Trafficking Hotline in public places. A public restroom is a private and safe place for a victim to reach out for help.
Over 500,000 Freedom Stickers containing the National Human Trafficking hotline are strategically posted in public restrooms nationwide. When a trafficking survivor calls or texts this hotline, they are offered hope and help. Anyone can help by ordering free stickers to place in public restrooms.
