Giving back is near and dear to my heart. Here I feature organizations that I support (although I have no affiliations to these organizations) and I hope you are encouraged to give back too.
Human Trafficking the illegal trade of human beings. It’s the recruitment, control, and use of people for their bodies and for their labor.
Through force, fraud, and coercion, people everywhere are being bought and sold against their will–right now in the 21st century.
This is the reality: slavery is violence. It’s physical, verbal, and sexual abuse.
But, slavery is more stoppable than ever before. And that’s why we’re here, rallying around the world and doing the work together.

785 million people lack basic access to clean and safe drinking water. We’re on a mission to change that. That’s nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide. Or, twice the population of the United States. The majority live in isolated rural areas and spend hours every day walking to collect water for their family. Not only does walking for water keep children out of school or take up time that parents could be using to earn money, but the water often carries diseases that can make everyone sick.
But access to clean water means education, income, and health - especially for women and kids.

We work with the neediest and most vulnerable children that we can reach — the poorest of the poor.
Our Child Sponsorship Program offers:
medical checkups and health care.
health and hygiene training.
ongoing Christian training through a local church.
educational assistance, including textbooks, school uniforms, post-secondary courses, tutoring, test and lab supplies, and even literacy and financial training for caregivers.
key life skills training, mentoring, and vocational programs.
nutritious food and supplements to protect against malnutrition.
recreational activities and support the development of self-confidence and social skills.
protection from crime, violence, and danger.
access to special services like surgeries and disaster relief.
The minimum standards for our Child Sponsorship Program dictate that each church-run child development center provides 4-8 hours of programming each week, at least 48 weeks out of the year, and that individual child attendance be taken each time the center is open.
While at the church-based child development centers the children receive life-changing opportunities that would otherwise be out of their reach, and which build on, add to and extend their school lessons.
