We NEVER charge for any of our materials -- we give them away all over the world because of the generosity of donors like you. We LOVE our donors and would be honored to partner with you to reach kids before the traffickers do--around the world and around the corner.

About This Cause

Can we really do anything to stop child sex slavery? Yes, we can! Most kids get lured into the dark world of sex slavery because they don’t know the deceptive tactics of traffickers. Someone shows up in a village and offers to educate the girls. “Just sign here,” he tells the parents, who never see their daughters again. A trafficker offers a teenage girl a job as a model, waitress, or nanny. She has no idea she’ll really be forced into sex slavery. She’ll be threatened, beaten, and raped over and over, night after night. HOW TO STOP THE TRAFFIC Wherever kids and parents receive awareness training, the rate of child sex trafficking plummets. Unfortunately there’s not enough training—nor is it available to those who are most at risk. That’s why we created a global campaign called the Born2Fly Project to reach kids before the traffickers do. We educate children and their parents about the dangers of child sex trafficking through a strategic, far-reaching multimedia campaign. We don't just prevent kids from being trafficked but help them fulfill their dreams. Born2Fly sets kids free to soar so they can dream the dreams that can change the world.
