We are Christian lawyers, social workers and pastors. We help police find people held in forced labour, walk with survivors for years afterwards, and push cases through the courts, because God hears the cry of the oppressed and so must his church.
A lawyer, a social worker and a local church.
That’s usually who shows up when a family is found in a brick kiln or a garment workshop. The lawyer handles the case, the social worker handles the first night, and the church is there the week after, and the year after. We work alongside local police and courts, never instead of them.
Justice systems
We train police, prosecutors and judges, and work alongside them on real cases.
Court cases
Our lawyers stay with each case until there’s a verdict, which can take years.
Aftercare
Social workers stay with survivors until they’re safe, housed and earning.
Training others
We share what works with churches and governments in other regions.

Give every month.
Cases take years. Monthly gifts let our lawyers and social workers commit to a family for as long as it takes. Monthly partners also get one prayer request a week, from a real case.

Monthly gifts keep the work going. These appeals pay for one specific thing, and each one closes when it’s funded. A church near each project is praying for it.

Most of this work is slow, and it needs a lot of ordinary people. It starts with prayer.
