Nayan and the SFM Team in India are agents of hope and healing. The team repatriates missing and trafficked children and helps to provide new futures for those vulnerable to human trafficking. They raise crucial awareness about human trafficking and equip caregivers and churches to protect their children against child exploitation. In 2023 the team repatriated 146 children, educated more than 1,300 children and adults, and handled more than 330 missing persons cases. The Set Free Movement needs $35,500 each year to invest in this transformational work.

An estimated 60-85% of “commercially sexually exploited children” within the US were at one time in the child welfare system. Youth that age out of foster care face overlapping barriers such as poverty, mental health challenges, lack of social networks, and few options for safe, stable housing. These barriers compound and create vulnerabilities to abuse, exploitation, homelessness, and human trafficking. Fostering Hope is working to change this reality. Camille and the Fostering Hope Seattle team come alongside youth, foster families, and social workers each month. In 2023, the team reached more than 150 people vulnerable to trafficking and equipped 121 youth.

Zsuzsa and the Set Free Hungary team protect the “forgotten” children in their communities. For an average of $350 per month, the SFM Hungary team builds relationships and educates children, youth, and women in state-run homes, safe houses, and schools. Using customized resources like booklets and socio-economic games that teach the reality of vulnerability, the team brings awareness to how people are coerced into being trafficked.
