Overview

Mission

To abolish child trafficking throughout the world by rescuing one at a time; one child, one community, one country, one world. Our four-fold focus is: prevention: prevent future trafficking situations by working with community leaders where problems exist. Rescue: there will be three ways where rescues will be made. Exploited victims will be found and rescued. As funds come in we will support other organizations that are currently in the rescue space. Finally, once governmental relations are in place then direct rescue efforts will be made. Rehabilitation: as the organization grows and funds are made available, financial support will be given to other organizations to assist in rehabilitation. Awareness: through the use of media, top down awareness campaigns will be executed and child trafficking will be eliminated.

What it reported doing in 2025

Education & feeding program.in 2025 we continued to maintain the school that we established in a haitian refugee camp in the dr. We currently have three teachers teaching 90 students. Additionally, every day that they are in school we feed all the children lunch. Oftentimes it's the only meal that they get in the day. We have continued to maintain the school by building new benches for the children along with buying the materials and building new chalkboards for the classes.
