GET INVOLVED:

Children are being trafficked.

YOUR OUTRAGE MATTERS.

Only in recent history have humans agreed that women should vote; that one water fountain is enough; and that we shouldn’t smoke on planes or throw garbage out our car windows. When people took action, and mindsets shifted, we leveled up. We need to do the same thing when it comes to ending child trafficking. Collectively, we need to mature in our mindsets, and we need to take action until our world agrees that this needs to change.

What are some common vulnerabilities? Who are traffickers? Knowledge is power!

Whether it’s ‎$5 or $500, give what you can. Being there for children really matters.

Traffickers often recruit and sell online. Parents & youth need to know how to be safe.

Stand with us for a world where children are safe and free. Pray and involve your congregation.

Start a workout, join a century ride, or host a 5K – all while funding our work!

On this page, you’ll find a poster of risk and protective factors of child trafficking. Put them on local community boards & telephone poles.

Access our calendar or get inspired to host your own event to raise awareness and possibly funds, too.

Want a member of our team on your literal or virtual stage? Let us know!

Online shopping or planning for holiday and birthday presents can benefit us too!

Web Series

It can get confusing as you look through various articles, blogs, and online discussions. That’s why we put together a free web series to make sure that you’ve got accurate info to do your part protecting kids. Love146 has almost two decades of experience; we’ve journeyed with hundreds of child trafficking survivors and we’ve reached thousands of kids through our trafficking prevention curriculum.

Talking about child trafficking can be intimidating. Maybe you don’t feel you have the right words, information, or perspective to respond. Join this roundtable discussion with our Prevention Education team for tips about how to have effective conversations that can make a change.

session 4:

Raising Children Alongside Technology

The Internet is part of life, but it can also create a lot of vulnerability for children today. Many of the children in our care at Love146 first met their traffickers on social media. Maybe you have questions about how to ensure you’re child is safe online. Get perspective from two parents working in child health, and anti-trafficking.

An gathering of hope, inspiration, and generosity
to end child trafficking.

Why do you care?

What the world needs desperately is more people taking a stand against the things that break their hearts; to find ways to get involved somehow. Whatever you’re passionate about, go all in. We were made for this.

“I support the work of Love146 with an ‘all in’ mentality because I see it as more than a nonprofit doing good work. … I support Love146’s long-haul courage to be steadfast in the hope that child trafficking will not only come to an end, but that a culture will be changed in the process...”

The work that Love146 has done, and continues to do has been so inspiring to us. It has been an honor putting our efforts alongside all of yours in the fight against child trafficking and exploitation.

JOIN WITH OTHERS

Within the greater movement, we’ve witnessed how powerful it is for small groups of people to come together to learn, brainstorm, and raise awareness in their neighborhoods. Love146 Volunteer Teams are local groups of people passionate about seeing child trafficking end.

Equip those at hotels & truck stops to spot and report child trafficking

How do we end child trafficking and exploitation in our cities? We empower our communities to know what it looks like and what to do about it. By equipping those who may cross paths with victims of trafficking (hotels, motels, and truck stops), we create opportunities for intervention and prevention. If you’re an established Volunteer Team, shoot an email to action@love146.org and we’ll give you all the supplies, including a list of locations already visited in your area.
