Alabaster Jar Project

Founded in 2013, Alabaster Jar Project is a charity based in Escondido, United States working on human rights, community development.

Alabaster Jar Project is a non-profit in San Diego, California, that empowers survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. It was founded in 2013 as a standalone organisation after beginning as a ministry of a local church, and received tax-exempt status in 2014. Its services include Grace House, a two-year residential programme offering long-term housing and wraparound support; a Resource Center providing clothing, toiletries, referrals and educational and vocational programmes; and survivor-led peer support groups. The organisation states that it is faith-rooted but serves participants of all backgrounds, provides spiritual support only as each participant desires, and that around 70% of its staff are survivor graduates of its programmes. It is not an emergency shelter.
