St. Clare Coffee stands out in San Francisco’s crowded coffee scene. Nestled inside the city’s financial district, St. Clare Coffee’s flagship cafe employs and provides training for survivors of trafficking and at-risk youth in San Francisco.
St. Clare Coffee is also working hard to source and develop coffees from the Akha Tribes in Northern Thailand.
Many of the Akha peoples live without citizenship to any nation, and have few protections from their governments. This makes them often susceptible to traffickers.
You can also do good through simply purchasing our drinks and whole bean coffees, as a portion of all sales are contributed to Not for Sale.
Founder, St. Frank & St. Clare
This isn’t charity. When you can do it through business it’s much more empowering to the people involved. They’re working for it and they’re doing it on their own. We want to make a difference but it has to be a sustainable business.

Not For Sale Ale started as a side project to inspire the employees of Thurne Teknik, a “bioprocessing” business serving life science, biotech, chemical and food industries in Northern Europe.
CEO Ulf Stenerhag wanted to find ways to incorporate ‘doing good’ into their daily lives.
Thurne Teknik’s employees rallied around the project, and partnered with Monks Brewery in Sweden to develop the first Not For Sale Ale in Europe. Days later, the beer was served at the Swedish Royal Palace during Batstone’s speech at the Young Leadership Conference 2014.
Stenerhag and his team are committed to donating 100% of its profits back to Not For Sale’s work, mainly in Romania. As demand scales, they hope to support job creation in areas vulnerable to human trafficking.

For far too long the production of shoes has relied on sweatshops and toxic materials. The producers of shoes are treated unfairly as the lowest cost in the production process. And nearly every shoe we have in our closet today will be in sitting in a landfill when our great grandchildren populate the earth. A 21st century shoe company can do better than that.
The mission of Z Shoes is bold and ambitious. We aim to redesign the shoe industry.
We make it possible for all of our fans to wear a pair of shoes that brings dignity to people and the planet. Z Shoes is be a powerful agent of change that can move our world in the right direction. Stand with us and join our cause today.

Background
Although the Netherlands is ranked Tier 1 (the government fully meets the minimum standard for the elimination of trafficking) by the US Trafficking in Persons Report, a study found that the number of human trafficking victims in the Netherlands is significantly underreported. In 2017, it was estimated that the number is five times higher than reported figures – around 6,250 trafficking victims per year.

Our Mission and Purpose
To help survivors of human trafficking, and people who are at risk to be exploited, gain valuable job and life skills that will give them the freedom to find their own work and economic opportunities.
OUR WORK
The Dutch foundation Not For Sale has been providing survivors of human trafficking with vocational training since 2012. It started with a soup making program to empower victims residing in a safe house in Amsterdam. Achieving a certificate by finishing the soup program, made the participants feel proud and useful and helped in their recovery: they could envision a new future with a dignified job for themselves. The soup they made was sold to create a financially self-sustainable model. In 2015, this model was scaled up by opening up a brunch café in Amsterdam, Dignita, and a vocational job skills academy, the Dignita Academy, was founded.
Within the Dignita Academy participants can learn professional cooking, barista and beauty skills. To empower their situation in society, they receive training in life skills, such as citizenship, administration and taxes and health and first aid.
Survivors, and people at risk of falling victim to human trafficking because of their vulnerable position in society, can put the knowledge and skills they learnt in the Dignita Academy into practice in three Dignita restaurants in Amsterdam and with partner companies and organizations. All profits from Dignita are returned to the Dutch Not For Sale foundation to continue to fight trafficking worldwide.
Our Impact In Numbers

OUR CHALLENGES
In 2019, a little over half of trafficking victims in the Netherlands was female and most victims are from Nigeria, the Netherlands, Uganda, Poland and Romania. Approximately 57% of trafficking victims are forced to work in the sex industry. The second biggest field of exploitation was forced crime and then forced labor, for example in the transport industry, cleaning industry and hospitality.
Our Reinvent program is designed to prepare disconnected youth (18-24) affected by trafficking, exploitation and related traumas for work in the Bay Area’s booming industries.
The students attended four weeks of work-readiness training and life-skills coaching. After finishing, graduates of the program are placed in paid traineeships within Not For Sale’s network of Bay Area businesses, such as St. Clare coffee shop, and Half Moon Bay Brewing Company.
