CHARITY: WATER Charity:Water is a nonprofit organization that is committed to bringing clean water to individuals across the world who have absolutely no access to this basic resource. This organization began in 2006 when it’s founder, Scott Harrison, experienced the devastation of unclean water first-hand through working with Mercy Ships. Today, Charity:Water is a well-established charity which is strategically placing wells in villages that are difficult to access from outside. Charity:Water’s mission is to end the water crisis and to in turn, restore communities and bring hope. Through separate accounts and financial plans, 100% of donations given to this nonprofit are sent across seas to create wells. Thus far, 12,736,998 people are being served and 64,999 water projects are funded in 27 different countries. To see more about Charity:Water, visit their website at: www.charitywater.org. FREE INTERNATIONAL Free International is a nonprofit organization working to end human trafficking in the United States. Yes, in the States. Human trafficking, sex trafficing, and slavery aren’t confined to third world countries. It’s going on right here in our backyard. Free International works to Find, Restore, Embrace, and Empower those who are stuck in Human Trafficking through the love of Jesus Christ. The biggest way Free International is doing this is through Mobile Units, which are essentially trailers, where teams can work to free individuals quickly, locally, and efficiently.

INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE MISSION (IJM) Similar to Free International, International Justice Mission (IJM) works to end Human Trafficking. While the other nonprofit is primarily state-side, IJM is a global organization that partners with local justice systems to end violence against people living in poverty. Their mission is to end slavery in our lifetime by rescuing and restoring victims, by bringing criminals to justice, and by strengthening justice systems. They are currently partnered with local authorities in 24 program offices in 14 countries to combat slavery, violence against women and children, and police abuse of power against people who are poor. Every day, teams go into the worst places to bring freedom and hope to individuals caught in slavery. To see more about International Justice Mission, visit their website at: www.ijm.org. CONVOY OF HOPE Convoy of Hope is a faith-based, nonprofit organization, that helps empower others to live with greater independence and freedom from poverty, disease, and hunger. When a natural disaster strikes, Convoy of Hope is almost always the first one present on the scene, providing aid for those in need. Since 1994 Convoy of Hope has served 163.7 million people, supported more than 387,000 children in their strategic feeding program, mobilized 677,000 volunteers, served 127 countries, and distributed 1.3 billion dollars worth of supplies.

COMPASSION INTERNATIONAL Compassion International is a nonprofit organization that is committed to helping children flourish. They do this through partnering with a local church and a caring sponsor. From this interaction a child is able to discover his or her true value. Compassion impacts children, families, and communities by providing love, education, supplements, health care, christ-centered guidance, and recreational activities. The most-popular form this organization operates through is the monthly sponsorship of a child. However, donations given directly to Compassion International are used to meet critical needs, help a specific cause, support mothers and children, and develop future leaders.
