Our Mission
Our mission is to end human trafficking by creating pathways to safe employment, empowering women and girls to break cycles of slavery in their families and communities.
A Girl with Much to Give
Our organization is named after a girl named Nomi, whom the founders met while traveling in Cambodia. By the time Nomi was eight years old, she had been previously trafficked by her stepfather and suffered unthinkable abuse. Nomi Network was founded to be the network behind Nomi, providing a future for thousands of other women and girls like her. Today, Nomi is a resilient young woman who radiates warmth despite the trauma she has faced. Nomi inspires us to keep fighting for a world where every woman and girl can know her full potential.
“While the situation in India is incredibly worrying, we have hope after hearing about the holistic response of Nomi Network and their women. Nomi Network’s economic empowerment program teaches women life skills, such as how to save money, and maintain proper hygiene. These skills are now essential to them and their communities.”
“Diana Mao Kelly, President and Founder of Nomi Network, is a finalist in the 2024 Nonprofit and Corporate Citizenship Awards, held in partnership with Communities Foundation of Texas and sponsored by Capital One.”
“Nomi Network partners with a training center in Cambodia where women ages 18 to 35 learn how to sew and create eco-friendly handbags and accessories. The handbags, made with recycled rice bags, are sold by retailers around the world. Ms. Mao says 100% of the profits from product sales are invested back into training and education opportunities for the women.”
