Overview

Mission

Our mission is to end the trafficking and sexual abuse of children one child, one family, and one community at a time.

What it reported doing in 2024

Survivor care: rapha international operates survivor care facilities for child survivors of trafficking and sexual exploitation. These campuses provide a safe place for children to recover and heal. Our aftercare campuses are staffed by trained experts from the local community who understand the culture and know how to work with children through comprehensive and trauma-informed care. In order to break the chains of despair and unlock the door to freedom, children need intensive, specialized services. We call these services the keys to freedom, and they include: safety and basic care, counseling and medical care, education and training, and social work and legal advocacy.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 96% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 64% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and expenses are high relative to revenue.
