Mission Statement
We work to overcome injustice in the areas of abuse, neglect, and trafficking for underserved children in West Africa.
About This Cause
Following the model of Jesus, we believe that every child is valuable and has a name, dream and destiny. We are working hard to ensure that they are protected and given a voice and hope for the future. Our strategic approach is both practical and spiritual. It comprehensively addresses the many aspects driving child exploitation and trafficking. RESCUE Orphan Relief and Rescue's staff works diligently with community leaders, parents, and former traffickers to identify and bring back children who have been sold into a life of domestic and sexual slavery. RESTORATION We create safe environments and work diligently to ensure the children in our care receive mental, emotional, and spiritual support to begin the healing process, necessary medical attention, education or vocational training, and the opportunity to live with hopes and dreams again. In culturally sensitive ways, we share about a God who created them, loves them, and values their life. INTERVENTION In collaboration with local leaders, we identify children at a high risk of being trafficked and engage intentionally to prevent those children from being sold. Our Intervention project includes nutrition assistance, schooling, mentoring, and monitoring that ensures a child’s safety. EMPOWERMENT Our community development programs seek to address the driving factors of child trafficking, including reducing poverty. Regardless of ethnicity, gender or religion, parents can participate in our Microfinance Savings and Loan program to receive a micro-loan and business development training that enables them to create a future for their families. Parents have the option to stay after training to learn about a God who loves them. Our goal is to end child trafficking in West Africa. We have seen first hand how this strategy is changing the cycle of trafficking by creating dynamic communities that protects children and trains the next generation to provide for their families!
