Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Human trafficking is a $150 billion industry that traps 24.9 million individuals into forced sexual or labor servitude. It is a crisis of human rights that preys on extreme poverty and desperation. It depresses the global economy and exploits the most vulnerable among us.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goal is to raise money for partner organizations doing the work to end this crisis in southeast Asia. By supporting these organizations financially and offering them strategic guidance, we can help them maximize their efficiency and focus on the work needed to prevent trafficking or rehabilitate survivors.
In 2020 our goal is to raise $35,000 for three partner organizations that are working in this space. They are:
Sunshine Cambodia:
Sunshine Cambodia sponsors education for at-risk children and youth in slum villages outside of Phnom Penh. They provide these children with the resources to facilitate education opportunities. They give them bicycles to get to and from school. They also give them uniforms, and money for lunches. Sunshine Cambodia pays any educational fees or costs that arise. It also provides them with any necessary additional tutoring.
Bloom Asia
Bloom Asia rehabilitates girls and women who have been rescued from trafficking and enters them into an intensive five-month rehabilitation program that provides them counseling and therapy services. In addition it provides them with business training, and ultimately employment in one of two cafes it runs in the country's capital.
Flame Cambodia
Flame Cambodia runs four after-school centers for primary school children between the ages of 5 and 14. Each center holds between 35 and 56 children, who are taught basic lessons in Khmer literacy, English, and math. Each center is staffed by a center leader and two teachers. The four centers are run in four slum villages around Phnom Penh. Flame uses the same government-established vulnerability assessments to determine which families are brought into the program.
For youth older than 14, Flame also runs two leadership academy homes. Most of these youths come directly from one of Flame’s centers. They receive a full university scholarship, and a stipend to pay for books, a laptop and food. They take university classes at night, and during the day provide guidance and mentorship to the children in Flame’s centers. They also find part-time work, oftentimes taking work directly with Flame.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We are a pass through organization that supports these agencies financially and provides them with strategic advice and guidance. Our funding comes from a combination of individual high- and low-dollar donors, congregations local to Washington, DC, and foundations. We work closely with these individuals to develop a community of interested parties that have the means to create change.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We traveled to Cambodia in 2018 and met with 21 different organizations, ultimately selecting the three we did because of their sustainable financial situations and ability to effectively impact their beneficiaries. Our work is to be a fundraising organization to support these agencies. We are fundraising professionals who have the means and ability to develop a network of donors and create lasting change.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
In 2018 we traveled to Cambodia and selected three partners to work with. In 2019 we committed to raising $10,000 for two of these partners and successfully did so.
