Stop Child Trafficking Before It Starts

Traffickers exploit children at the intersection of poverty, lack of education, and weak support systems.

Together, we prevent harm by eliminating those conditions and protecting children everywhere they go.

Protecting Children Everywhere They Go

Educating Children
Keeping a child in school is one of the most effective ways to prevent trafficking. 

We provide kids with:

  • Access to education through scholarships
  • Mentorship to thrive academically
  • Trafficking prevention training to protect themselves and their peers

Key risk factors reduced:

Limited education. Lack of legal status. Poverty.

Empowering Families
Too often a child’s first line of protection, the home, is a place that leaves them isolated and vulnerable to traffickers. 

We offer families: 

  • Home visits that teach both children and parents about financial management and trafficking threats
  • Family camps, parenting workshops, and sustainable income training
  • Support with the citizenship process

Key risk factors reduced: 

Unstable home life. Poverty. Risky behavior. History of abuse. Lack of legal status.

Equipping Communities
It takes a village to keep the most vulnerable safe from the rising threat of human trafficking. 

We help communities by:  

  • Training vulnerable members to know, exercise, and obtain access to fundamental human rights
  • Creating safety networks where children and families protect each other from traffickers 
  • Sharing resources, training, and support with local leaders, churches, and grassroots organizations so they can protect their communities 

Key risk factors reduced: 

Unstable home life. Lack of legal status. Risky behavior.
