Our Work
OVER
50 Million
people are enslaved today.
Human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal industry in the world, generating more than $150 billion USD every year.
Although human trafficking is a phenomenon that impacts every region of the world, Southeast Asia is well-recognized as an international hub. High rates of poverty, combined with a lack of job opportunities, education, and infrastructure, influence many individuals to seek employment opportunities abroad through illegal migration and third-party brokers. Traffickers prey on these vulnerable people groups and, upon arrival, they are unexpectedly forced into slavery. This is why we focus our prevention efforts in Cambodia and Myanmar. By preventing human trafficking in these spots, we can disrupt the entire industry and protect many children and adults from ever experiencing modern slavery.
OUR
solution is
Prevention.
We equip individuals and communities to stand strong against trafficking. By addressing the root issues of human trafficking through a holistic approach, we provide a system of support to protect families and communities.

Meet Srey.
As a young teenager, she often migrated across the border into Thailand in search of work. A lack of employment opportunities often leads to increased vulnerability to human trafficking—especially for those who migrate to find employment. Freedom’s Promise first met Srey during this time, and eventually learned about her migration while she was serving as a volunteer in our learning center. Our staff receives training about the signs of human trafficking vulnerabilities, and as a result, they were able to encourage Srey to stop migrating and begin working part-time as a teacher. Additionally, Freedom’s Promise provided Srey’s family with rice to ensure their needs were being physically met.
Srey went on to graduate high school, enroll in University and attend on the weekends. In December of 2022, Srey graduated with her Bachelor’s in English Literature. She is now a key leader and full-time teacher with Freedom’s Promise!
"Without the income opportunity provided by Freedom's Promise I would not be where I am now. I might not even be in Cambodia serving my own people."
