In 2025, our teams rescued 4,989 children from human trafficking. Each child represents not only a life saved but also a future restored. Rescue, however, is only the first step. To truly provide restorative care, we must ensure that each child has a safe home, trauma-informed care, access to education, and opportunities for vocational training.
Our current facilities are stretched beyond capacity. To meet this historic need, we must expand by building new facilities—secure homes designed not just as shelters but as centers of healing and growth. These facilities will allow children to:
Live in safe, family-style housing where they can heal from trauma.
Attend on-site schools equipped with qualified teachers.
Participate in counseling and support programs that address both emotional and spiritual needs.
Develop skills through vocational training, preparing them for adulthood.
Grow into leaders who can give back, breaking the cycle of trafficking in their communities.
Our team learned an incredible amount when we built our first home from scratch from 2014-2017. We’ll be putting those lessons learned into practice as we expand to a multi-home model.
Our team is currently assessing properties. Some sites have partial infrastructure, while others require breaking new ground. While purchasing and adapting an existing property may seem faster, we believe building from scratch offers the best long-term solution at this point. Though construction may take up to three years, the resulting campus will be purpose-built, efficient, and sustainable for generations. We anticipate a home for 750-1000 children to cost $5,000,000.
This expansion is not only about providing a place for children to sleep—it is about reshaping the future of thousands of lives and ensuring that every child rescued has the chance to flourish.
We often get the question about rescuing more kids, and facilities and the budget to maintain, fund education and daily care are what stand between us and the rescue of tens of thousands more children starting this decade.
