SutiSana offers empowering employment to survivors of trafficking and gender-based violence in Bolivia. This freedom business began in 2010 as a response to a request of trafficking survivors for employment opportunities. When a woman joins SutiSana, she receives holistic support, health insurance and a retirement plan. In a safe and empowering community, she and her children have opportunities to continually grow through personal and vocational training, counseling and education. Every purchase supports her path to abundant life.

Sutisana was founded by Word Made Flesh  to provide dignified employment and a new life for women attempting to leave prostitution in El Alto, Bolivia.  They began working among vulnerable women in El Alto in 2000. Many of these women had little education, were the only provider in their home, and had no viable alternative to prostitution. The name Sutisana has roots in the two languages spoken by the women – Aymara and Spanish. In Aymara, Suti means name. In Spanish, Sana means healthy or healed. As women leave prostitution, they often leave behind a name they used there and find a new identity – a Healed Name.
