The CAAHT Rotary Club and EFOH Satellite Club highlight the interconnected issues of human trafficking and forced organ harvesting while taking further steps to support victims of human trafficking in prison through programs like:
Mentor Programs, which prepare individuals for release from prison and help them plan for re-entering society. These programs range from movement and meditation techniques to promote self-improvement and stress management, to focusing on healthy eating, doula services for pregnant women, and learning about technical jobs. The goal is to help them re-establish themselves after release.
To further support them during vulnerable transition periods, the CAAHT Rotary Club developed the “Intersection to Care” program for women exiting prison.
By providing essential supplies like new clothes, toiletries, and other items, these bags are created with love and care to ensure women leaving prison feel their immediate needs are met, helping them avoid returning to human traffickers who prey on them during vulnerable times.
Often, when women leave prison, traffickers are waiting in the parking lot. These bags help women transition successfully and find support through other programs, such as housing assistance, on-the-job training, and more.
People can help by donating to purchase supplies for the bags or by starting similar programs in their state or club. This is a simple program that anyone can replicate, and the CAAHT Rotary Club is happy to share how they do it.
One critical issue is that funding for the Intersection to Care (ITC) program will run out around July 2026, and the club will be seeking additional funding to keep this valuable resource available at the Shawnee County Adult Detention Center.

About:
The Intersection to Care Project attempts to disrupt the desperate life circumstances that can lead to involvement in trafficking for those discharging from incarceration. It is not unusual for traffickers to be the primary source of support for those who walk out the doors of Shawnee County Adult Detention Center (SCADC). The ITC Project intends to give program participants another option.
