EOTE Trading Co., is proud to support Agape International Missions (AIM) and the task they have of opposing the scourge of sex trafficking in Cambodia. Agape International Missions (AIM) was founded on the ground in Cambodia in 1985 and serves in Svay Pak, one of the poorest and most dangerous communities in Phnom Penh. Since 2005, their ministry has focused on ending the evils of child sex slavery. They have additional resources, including an employment center, in Siem Reap in Northwestern Cambodia.
AIM is guided by a distinct philosophy that God anointed the Church through the power of Jesus to overcome evil. That belief combined with a holistic approach of fighting trafficking, restoring victims, and transforming communities, has made AIM extremely successful in creating long-term change.

AIM has created a refuge for women rescued from sex trafficking in the form of AIM Employment Centers (AECs). These centers provide the girls with education, well paid jobs, counseling, training, healthcare, childcare, and housing. At these centers the girls handcraft bracelets, t-shirts, and other garments. They also offer custom screen screen printed garments for groups & organizations. They are always looking for opportunities and new projects to help support this program. Please contact us or AIM directly for more information.
Whilst we are very excited about the prospects of having AEC provide us with t-shirt blanks for customization by us here, we were intrigued by their amazing tailoring and sewing skills. During our visit to the local Cambodian market we discovered some "elephant pants" that we purchased for friends at home. Our friends and family were delighted with the style and comfort of these flowy pants. Thus, we inquired about having these created exclusively by AIM in Cambodia exclusively for EOTE! The result is beautifully crafted pair of fashion pants that your going to want to wear again and again.The best part: the sales of these pants provide continued employment, support and recovery for the women at this employment center. In addition to the income generated from the production of these pants, EOTE is donating an additional 25% of proceeds directly to AIM. When you purchase a pair of our EOTE Pants, you are not just buying a pair of pants, you are giving a young girl an opportunity to start a brand new life!
