Where We Work
We currently work in 11 counties across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia where girls and women are at extreme risk of slavery. We partner with local, indigenous leaders within the communities where we serve to create the most effective resources and interventions.

How We Work – Core Programs
PREVENTION
Our initial goal is to prevent girls from being sold in the first place. We equip women and girls who are at extreme risk of slavery with the tools and skills they need to be free, informed and self-sustaining. Our programs include micro-business skills, leadership and financial skills, health and hygiene training, savings groups, anti-trafficking awareness and helping women understand God’s view of their intrinsic value and worth.
RESCUE
We position local teams in the places where girls are most likely to be trafficked. 87% of people trafficked for sexual exploitation are female. This is usually in slums, red light districts, border areas, and refugee camps. The leading causes of death for women trapped in prostitution are complications from abortions, maternal health complications, and suicide, with 57% of premature deaths being young women age 20-29.* Our local partners help vulnerable girls get to safety and freedom, rescuing them from a life of slavery and premature death.
RESTORATION
Whenever possible, we reunite rescued girls with their families. If that is not a safe possibility, we bring them to a safe place to live where they can get education, counseling, and job training to equip them with the skills they need to build whole new lives.
Our Process
Since 2002, we have worked in high-risk areas around the world and developed practical steps to foster lasting transformation in women, girls, and communities – for this generation, and for those who follow.
We have a 4-step process to ensure that girls are safe and free:
1. EXPLORING
When we identify girls and women who are at the highest risk of abuse and slavery, we research within the community context the best ways to help with these two questions in mind: “What makes her vulnerable to abuse and exploitation?” and “In her context, what are the best practices for preventing, rescuing, or restoring her life?”
2. PARTNERING
Once we know who she is, what she faces, and how to help, we partner with indigenous leaders to facilitate interventions and lead prevention programs.
3. EQUIPPING
With a partnership in place, our Country Directors track progress, leverage strengths, share best practices, and oversee the strategic stewardship of resources.
4. EVALUATING
We maintain a culture of exploration and innovation as we work together to implement transformational development programs that equip women and girls build lives of freedom and faith.
