Insurance for the modern company with distributed teams, remote workers and travelers is a segment that protects against financial loss due to illness and injury but in the case of Insured Nomads, it also protects much more than their members.
Before they had members with policies they partnered with Not for Sale, a globally recognized non-profit that has been awarded the Candid Platinum seal for transparency and highly ranked by Charity Navigator for their work in supporting those who are exploited, vulnerable to exploitation, and forced labor.
Insured Nomads has been a member of Pledge 1% for 3 years now in their commitment to give from the profits and proceeds from purchases in their culture of generosity.
Not For Sale was able to help 80,844 survivors and at-risk individuals in 10 countries. They helped over 70,000 people by providing access to an array of services – such as skills training, jobs, access to capital, clean water, social services, education, trafficking prevention, and more.
People and Planet
The work we’ve carried out for almost 20 years has addressed extreme exploitation across the globe and led to two major takeaways:
1.The economic conditions in many of the places they work require decades to elevate entire communities out of desperate conditions. This long-term engagement can take the form of traditional philanthropy, healthy governance and the careful cultivation of healthy financial systems.
2. Many of the people clearing our planet’s rain forests and digging up minerals are doing so under the condition of forced labor. It’s often the most exploited people who are forced to extract the planet’s resources. So, addressing exploitation at the crossroads of people and planet is critical to our future.
Only through the multi-pronged empowerment of at-risk people in places like the Amazon and Central African rainforests will we see a planet where we are truly Not For Sale.
Nearly everything we consume — from clothing, to the batteries in our cell phones, to the fish we eat — has forced labor and exploitation hidden somewhere inside its production.
At Insured Nomads and Not For Sale, we envision a future without exploitation and forced labor — where everyone has access to dignified opportunities and the resources they need to thrive.
