These are real slaves by the harshest definitions: people forced to work under threat of violence, without pay and unable to escape. They are trapped in brothels, factories, mines, farm fields, and restaurants. More than half are women and children. They need our help—and they need it now.
Through our Schools4Freedom program, we build schools in enslaved villages that ignite the spark they need to break free from slavery. By educating the children and empowering adults to use the legal system to fight their slave owners, they can free themselves from slavery forever.
“Put simply, Voices4Freedom stops slavery, in the lives of individuals and even in whole communities.”

the future
We can end slavery—together.
Voices4Freedom's mission is to eradicate slavery in our lifetime. Because of the built-in sustainability of this work, part of your legacy will be that none of the villagers will ever fall prey to slavery again. Future generations will be born into freedom.
