Myat was bursting with happiness the day she began her internship at one of the most prestigious beauty salons in town. The morning felt full of possibility, but there was a time when she couldn’t imagine this day.

Myat was wearing her schoolgirl uniform the day a neighbor tricked her into getting into her car. Afraid to disobey, she found herself driving far from home. When the car stopped, she was sold to a brothel. Unable to escape, Myat took handfuls of medication. She woke up to learn that she had been in a coma and was unable to walk. The brothel continued to send customers to her until one took pity on her and called her mother.

The anti-trafficking police rescued Myat, and she began her healing journey at Eden. Eight months after hanging a simple painting of a hair salon on our Dream Wall, Myat was beginning this new life.

The Hidden Treasures Collection was inspired by women like Myat who come to Eden broken and traumatized. Slowly, their skills and talents begin to emerge and the dreams they have treasured up in their hearts become reality.

The mission of Eden Jewelry is to extend God’s love to people who have been trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation. At Eden, we care for the whole person: their physical, emotional, spiritual, economic, and social well-being.

Eden’s programs are based in South-East Asia which is host to more than half of the global total of human trafficking victims.

In 2014 Eden began its programs in Myanmar, a nation that has been a hotbed for human trafficking for years. Political instability, natural disasters, and internal ethnic infighting have led to a devastating lack of opportunity for the people of Myanmar.

Poverty and political unrest are at the heart of Myanmar's human trafficking crisis, which has only grown more severe over recent years. The economic collapse, brought on by the pandemic and political crisis, has exacerbated the level of human trafficking and the need for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other not-for-profit organizations like Eden to fill this void and provide essential support to victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
