"This non-profit is especially close to my heart. I remember talking with Britta & Bucky about FFC before it was really rolling and just feeling that it was going to be amazing... now look at it! It's honestly breathtaking what can happen when people not only are compassionate, but they DO something about it! Gets me thinking... What if we all DO something?! Could we change the world?" - Lori, Roots of Integrity
Feature: Fly Fishing Collaborative
"We exist to use our passion for fly fishing for a good and just cause. According to United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), human trafficking is the world’s third largest enterprise after drugs and weapons. Over 2 million children are affected annually. Studies show that children caught in sex trafficking are victimized by 100–1500 perpetrators each year. We formed the Fly Fishing Collaborative to mobilizing the world’s fly fishing community to use the skills we have to provide children the protection and healing they need from the injustice of sex-trafficking. The money we raise at our local fly fishing events, the selling of our FFC branded products, and through your direct giving is used to build sustainable aquaponics farms which provide resources (fish and vegetables) to women and children who would otherwise become currency, literally needing to sell themselves as a livelihood, in a broken world.
Every $15,000 we raise provides a sustainable aquaponics farm for an orphanage or safe-home. Equipped with food, water, and fresh produce, they’re then able to put their time towards empowering local leaders to care for additional children that would otherwise be sold into slavery."

From Facebook, in reflection to the completion of a tilapia farm in Thailand:
"Just talking about it doesn't mean anything will change, it takes making a choice for change to happen. As collaborators, it was you who chose to make change, you who used your passion in fly fishing to create change in the lives of over 100 children. With a completed tilapia fish farm, these kids now have sustainable living for years to come & an opportunity to live without fear of human traffickers. Thank you, all!" "As 2014 closes, we highlight the incredible compassion the international fly fishing community displayed in providing 165 at-risk kids a sustainable tilapia farm, & an opportunity to live a free life. Your gifts are celebrated & you are recognized in the foundation that is now paved toward the future care, healing & protection of many more anxiously awaiting help." Thank you for being involved & if you would like to contact FFC about giving ideas for 2015, please visit www.flyfishingcollaborative.org/give |
