Why Aftercare Matters

Raise the standard of healing.

ACI exists to ensure that survivors of human trafficking receive THE BEST CARE POSSIBLE. We train, equip, and accredit aftercare programs around the world—so healing isn’t just possible, it’s powerful.

Icon
Trauma-Informed Training

We collaborate with aftercare providers on how to care for survivors in ways that are safe, respectful, and rooted in neuroscience.

Icon
Global Accreditation

Together with our partners, we use a thoughtful evaluation process to support continuous growth and learning—helping care programs better serve survivors on their journey toward healing.

Icon
Ongoing Support

Our commitment doesn’t end with certification—it’s the beginning of a relationship rooted in shared purpose, supporting both survivors and the long-term sustainability of care programs.

"I’ve seen firsthand how the quality of aftercare can make all the difference—either offering real healing or falling short when it’s needed most. That’s why we’re committed to advancing and sharing standards that protect, honor, and truly heal. Every survivor deserves more than rescue—they deserve restoration."

Who Do We Help

Open Projects

At Cause, we believe that the collective power of compassion and generosity can create meaningful change in the world. Your support is crucial in enabling us to continue our mission of making a positive impact on communities in need.

Empowering Young Mothers Through Skill Development Training

Young mothers in Port Moresby’s settlements face high unemployment, lack of vocational training, and financial exclusion. Many rely on informal jobs with little stability or income. This project addresses those challenges by equipping 120 women with practical skills in tailoring, catering, beautician services, and entrepreneurship. It fosters self-reliance and reduces poverty by linking graduates to markets, financial services, and business mentorship.

Shelter and Empowerment for Women Exiting Exploitation

This project will provide a safe and stable shelter for women exiting human trafficking and commercial sex work in Livingstone, Zambia. The shelter will offer a secure environment where survivors can begin their healing journey and access essential services. We have identified several key needs to fully establish and sustain the shelter, including construction, furnishings, and support staff.

Ending Exploitation, Empowering Futures: Vocational Training for Girls

In Tanzania, over 1.5 million girls are out of school, many at risk of early marriage and exploitation. This project, led by the Daughters of Mary Immaculate (DMI), will empower adolescent girls in Kibaha District through school-based clubs, vocational training, and community awareness. Your support will provide life skills, reproductive health education, and income-generating tools to girls who need them most.

Economic Empowerment for Women in Sex Work

In vulnerable communities, many women are pushed into sex work due to poverty and lack of opportunity. This project equips 50 female sex workers with training in entrepreneurship and agriculture, helping them build stable, dignified income sources. It also promotes HIV prevention and reduces stigma through outreach to 2,500 community members.

Resettlement and Economic Empowerment for South Sudan’s Displaced

This project will support displaced families in Malakal, South Sudan, through sustainable livelihoods, community-led structures, and urgent relief efforts. By establishing programs in relatively stable areas like Wau Shilluk and Kodok Payams, SDMIC aims to promote long-term resettlement and economic independence for thousands of returnees.

Education Empowerment for Marginalized Children

In settlements like Kogeva, Talai, and Kou Kou, many children—especially girls—drop out of school due to poverty, cultural stigma, and lack of educational support. With only 35% of children completing primary school in PNG and 30% of youth aged 14–24 illiterate, urgent intervention is needed. This project offers bridge courses, educational supplies, and community advocacy to reintegrate dropout children into school, improve literacy, and foster youth leadership through Children’s Parliaments.
