L’Chaim z.s. is a beacon of hope and empowerment, established on September 20, 2022, as a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals in the sex industry. With a vision to create a world where these individuals are respected and equipped with diverse employment opportunities, L’Chaim stands as a pivotal bridge connecting them to essential resources and supportive organizations. The mission of L’Chaim is transformative, aiming to build a brighter future by fostering collaboration and understanding to eradicate social discrimination and human trafficking. The goals are clear: provide skills training, work with local organizations and government, and prevent human trafficking through education, particularly among vulnerable populations like the Roma/Sinti community. The new website, launched in collaboration with opndesign.io, serves as a platform to raise awareness and encourage public donations, fueling the noble cause of L’Chaim z.s.

Donations made through the site support the organization’s vital work, including education, awareness, and field work aimed at empowering those it serves. The site is a call to action, urging the public to join in the fight against discrimination and to support those who are marginalized within our society.
L’Chaim z.s. is powered by a dedicated team of volunteers who are the backbone of the organization’s outreach and impact. These selfless individuals come from diverse backgrounds, united by a common goal to support and empower those in the sex industry. The volunteers engage in various activities, from field work to fundraising, and play a crucial role in implementing L’Chaim’s vision and mission. Their commitment to the cause is unwavering, as they work tirelessly to provide education, raise awareness, and facilitate the necessary resources for those they serve.
The programs at L’Chaim z.s. are designed to address the multifaceted needs of individuals in the sex industry. Skills training programs are a cornerstone, equipping participants with the tools and knowledge to pursue diverse employment opportunities. Collaborations with local organizations and government bodies enhance the support network, while educational initiatives aim to prevent human trafficking, especially among vulnerable populations like the Roma/Sinti community. Each program is a step towards a society that values inclusivity, dignity, and equality for all.
