Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Over 200,000 American children are at risk of trafficking into the sex industry (USDJ). There are currently only 49 beds for US victims.

ICA has 6 homes around the world. Our goal is to rescue and rehabilitate at least 6,000 girls. ICA also seeks to bring awareness and advocacy to fight for these victims.

Project Message

I’ve been through war zones & refugee camps. Seen orphans, widows, sickness & disease. But nothing grasps my heart like the face of a young girl that has been held captive by sex trafficking.
