$30 a month provides one month of trauma-informed mental health care for a victim still in exploitation, or a rescued Survivor.

More about exploitation

96% of trafficking survivors experience childhood abuse before being exploited.

93% of trafficking survivors experience substance abuse and mental health challenges.

The single most important factor for healing from trauma is ONE trustworthy, long-term adult.

The first step to helping a survivor of trauma is simple:

believe them.

“When someone shares their story of trauma, they take a profound leap of vulnerability. Responding with belief confirms that their emotions make sense, ensuring they do not feel isolated or blamed. Disbelief or dismissiveness can reinforce their fears and push them back into silence.”

$30 a month helps a victim still in exploitation or a rescued survivor.

Here’s how…

1. YOU DONATE. Your commitment to give $30 monthly means that you—along with hundreds of others—choose to walk with a survivor on their restoration journey.

2. PROJECT RESCUE STEPS OUT. We have partners in 16 countries that are going into places of exploitation every day and walking with survivors on their healing journey. These partners provide survivors with the presence and trauma-informed care they need to heal.

3. ONE PERSON RECEIVES THE MENTAL HEALTH CARE THEY NEED. Whether a victim still in exploitation or a survivor finding restoration, each day with a trusted, long-term counselor is another day to grow in hope and healing.

Their care continues month after month because you are committed to helping them find complete restoration.

  • Basant

    When her father would tell her how beautiful she was, she didn't know that this beauty would mean her father would fetch a higher price when he sold her. Basant was told she was to go work for a man and woman she had never met before, and that she was to do whatever they asked.
