According to the Global Slavery Index, an estimated 50 million people are currently trapped in modern slavery. We’re on a mission to end it.
Our solution
Our monitors stand guard at border crossings, bus stations, and other major transit areas to find people in the process of being trafficked—when they are often still in a stage of deception, believing they are traveling to a job or other opportunity—and intercept them BEFORE they reach their final destination.
To date, our teams around the globe have intercepted more than 50,000 to prevent them from being trafficked, and we’re not stopping there. We believe that every life is beautiful and worth fighting for—not even one should be trafficked. Together, we must end this injustice before more people are enslaved.
Dreaming bigger
In the last several years, we’ve seen our impact grow exponentially, and all trends point to that continued growth. This is incredibly exciting for us as an organization, but we need your help to keep going!
We know the injustice of human trafficking exists on an incredibly large scale—a scale so big that sometimes we only stay motivated by focusing on “the one.” But in recent months, we’ve begun to dream much bigger. What if ending human trafficking really is possible?
We look at these charts of exponential impact and dream of a day when all are free.
We need you!
We are ready and equipped to make this happen, but we can’t do it alone.
Each of these 50,000 interceptions was the result of a community of generous donors. From individual donors to organizations and foundations, each plays a crucial role in sustaining our mission. We want to invite you to discover your place in this community—to take a step beyond awareness into taking meaningful action.
One of our donors recently took a trip to South Asia to see what her giving accomplishes firsthand, and she shared how it impacted her:
“While we were there, a 13-year-old girl was intercepted, and I will always have her face in my mind; it’s just imprinted there. We took the walk to [the red light district] and it only took us four minutes to get there. Just knowing that that little girl could have been trapped there forever and now she’s not—it changed me forever.” —Shana Olinger
To stop human trafficking, we have to do more than raise awareness or support survivors (although those are also important). We must intervene before people are exploited.
How you can help
We invite you to join us and maximize your impact by donating during match season. Starting GivingTuesday on November 28, and going until December 31, your gift will be DOUBLED. Our goal is to raise $750,000 to be matched for a total of $1.5 million. We are ready to expand into new countries, open more stations and shelters, and hire more monitors so that every person can be kept free from the injustice of human trafficking—but we need your partnership.
Will you consider joining us during this exciting season of growth so that even more people can be kept free from slavery this year?
Thank you!
To all our donors, we can’t thank you enough for your support. Together, we are caring for some of the most vulnerable people around the world, while reaching toward the dream of ending human trafficking.
