What we aim to solve
Human trafficking is a pervasive, global issue impacting nearly 50 million victims worldwide. It is the fastest growing criminal industry in the world involving the exploitation of human beings for the purposes of compelled labor or a commercial sex act through the use of force, fraud, or coercion. While human trafficking is unambiguously immoral and universally illegal, overwhelming barriers prevent current anti-trafficking efforts from successfully ending human trafficking and bringing survivors to lasting freedom. The enormous complexity and cost of helping survivors who have been exploited make it very challenging to combat. As a sector, we are not reaching enough victims with the effective programming they need to be free and, too many survivors are revictimized. Of the nearly 50 million victims worldwide, less than 1% of survivors receive the care they need. Tragically, a large percentage of survivors are revictimized over and over again, continuing cycles of trauma.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Aftercare for Survivors of Human Trafficking
EverFree Survivor Care is a comprehensive aftercare program informed by the needs of survivors and grounded in direct service, research and innovation for greater impact. Our program goal is healthy and long-term sustainable reintegration for survivors of human trafficking. The program provides care, support, and opportunities to survivors of human trafficking through:
Case Management
Psychosocial Support
Economic and Educational Empowerment
Healthcare
Victim Advocacy and Legal Aid
Safety and Stability
Community Strengthening
The program is adapted in each of the unique settings where we and our network of partners work. We currently operate Survivor Care programming in the Philippines and Uganda. There we operate effective Safe Homes and Empowerment Centers that meet the complex needs of survivors. Since the launch of EverFree in 2021, our program teams in the Philippines and Uganda have been meeting regularly to share best practices and implement new programming methodology.
Victim Advocacy
The goal of the victim advocacy program is to increase access to justice and achieve successful trafficking convictions under the Prevention of Trafficking in Persons (PTIP) Act. For many survivors and their families, justice and advocacy are an integral part of the healing process. In order for justice to prevail, victims receive holistic aftercare services and are provided access to legal aid. Willow educates victims on their rights and empowers them with the opportunity to pursue justice through our victim advocacy program and partnerships with legal aid organizations. Victim advocates assist survivors in navigating the criminal justice system and accompany them to court and interviews. They also work to ensure the criminal justice system is following the protocols and procedures included in the PTIP Act and Standard Operating Procedures.
Empowerment Centers
EverFree’s Empowerment Center provides survivors of human trafficking with support, education, vocational training, or employment opportunities they need to be financially stable and rebuild their lives.
Case Management - a social worker supports each survivor on their empowerment journey with a plan based on their needs, aspirations and priorities.
Educational scholarships for elementary, high school and university
Career counseling
Job-readiness training, internships, and job placement
Vocational Training in catering, tailoring or hairdressing
Entrepreneurship certification and support to launch a business
Human Trafficking Prevention
Survivors are uniquely equipped to inform us of the root causes and underlying systems of human trafficking. In fact, solutions to trafficking that aren’t developed by or in partnership with survivors are largely ineffective. At EverFree, all of our programs' solutions are developed in partnership with survivors and we aim to amplify their voices in all we do.
EverFree works to stop trafficking before it starts and change the systems that allow it to thrive. We strengthen communities, frontline responders, and survivor leaders with knowledge and solutions to fight human-trafficking before it happens and keep communities safe.
In Orange County, CA:
-We educate communities about human trafficking, how to identify victims and report incidents, and how to support survivors
-We train frontline responders to identify trafficking and refer victims to services.
-We train teachers and school employees to identify potential victims
Freedom Greenlight
The EverFree Freedom Greenlight is a data-driven, diagnostic tool, co-created with
survivors of human trafficking, and built upon a foundation of research. The data will be
used to better understand and predict the complex needs of survivors and develop
more effective anti-trafficking solutions in the sector.
Freedom Greenlight will be the first of its kind to aggregate global data on program
outcomes, providing organizations, policymakers and funders with
robust research and insights to:
● More survivors receive the services needed to achieve lasting freedom.
● Identify prevention opportunities to end victimization and revictimization
● Measure the impact of programs and scale effective solutions
The result will be better, evidence-based care for survivors and more effective and
efficient strategies to end human trafficking globally.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
At EverFree, we believe that an end to human trafficking is possible. Together, we free communities from human trafficking and empower survivors everywhere to flourish in freedom - forever. We work with committed community allies to free communities from exploitation and empower survivors everywhere to flourish in freedom. Our unique model puts survivors at the center of everything we do:
We listen to Survivor Voices
We empower Survivor Leaders

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
• First, we will continue to operate comprehensive survivor service programs in three countries. This programming is informed by the needs of survivors and grounded in direct service, research and innovation for greater impact.
• Second, we will replicate our impact by developing a comprehensive care toolkit and build a world-class training and mentoring program to deploy to frontline organizations. Our combined experience as well as our global relationships continually tell the same story: any place that trafficking exists, there are frontline organizations already there working. What they tell us they need is training in skills and resource support. Our replication approach will not displace these local leaders. Rather, we will support them development and sustainability. As we build local capacity, we strengthen grassroots anti-trafficking efforts and bring proven solutions to communities around the world in the most efficient manner.
• Third, we will establish a network of these frontline organizations in an effort to unite grassroots efforts and facilitate collaboration, peer support, and connectivity to develop leaders and advocate for change.
At the heart of this strategy is the aim to implement a plan that brings more effective and efficient solutions to ending human trafficking. As we push best practices to the frontlines, including but not limited to a cutting edge survivor-centered impact measurement tool (discussed below), we will increase our knowledge in effective solutions for survivors and we’ll be able to share that knowledge across a global network. The broader our geographic reach, the further enhanced our programs will be with extensive learnings to apply across the anti-trafficking network.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
EverFree implemented extensive Measurement, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) plans to measure our impact. As EverFree expands its reach into new programmatic and geographic areas, our MEL framework provides evaluation guidelines and outcome measurement tools, to ensure that the assessment of program effectiveness is an integral part of organizational growth. Our MEL framework was co-developed to ensure effective and efficient program scale and to ensure a communication loop for impact, technical program details and program investment opportunities. Site-specific evaluation plans are tailored to allow for cultural and language differences.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
617 survivors of human trafficking received care and support.
378 vulnerable community members received care and support.
30,664 nights of safe sleep were provided to survivors of human traffickings in our shelters.
6,607 counseling sessions were provided to survivors healing from human trafficking.
294 educational scholarships were provided to survivors rebuilding their lives.
218 survivors started businesses and secured dignified employment to obtain economic stability.
444 survivors received basic life skills training.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
