REPORT HIGHLIGHTS

2026

Programmatic activity has continued to thrive through intercepting children from trafficking and placing them in our feeding and school program, while their caregivers take part in a community run Savings and Loan Program. Our Anti-Trafficking Initiative continues to grow to over 3,556+ direct beneficiaries.

At Orphan Relief and Rescue, we work to overcome injustice in the areas of abuse, neglect, and trafficking for children  in West Africa.

Our Work

Community Freedom Centers: 
We have completed a total of 5 Community Freedom Centers located in anti-trafficking villages where hundreds of children have been rescued from slavery and where facilitate our programs out of, each building can accommodate up to 500 people.

Intervention:
Orphan Relief and Rescue collaborates with local leaders to identify children at high risk of being trafficked and engage intentionally to prevent those children from being sold.

Currently, 833 children are in our anti-trafficking program. They were either intercepted from trafficking or brought back from slavery-like conditions to be placed in our Intervention Program.

This program aims to removed barriers that guardians face in keeping their children home. Through providing food and the ability to pursue education, guardians have little motivation to sell their children.

Rescue: 
Orphan Relief and Rescue works diligently to identify and bring back children who have been sold into a life of slavery. 590+ children were brought back from slavery in the last 5 years.

When possible these children are placed with their families and are re-enrolled in school and placed in our Intervention Program. If this is not possible for the child's safety, then the child is placed in foster care or Orphan Relief and Rescue's safe home. If the child is unable to attend school, because of their age or circumstance, they are placed in an apprenticeship program.

There are a total of 201 children rescued and living in our safe home, foster care, or attending an apprenticeship or university. 

Restoration:
Many of the children who have come back from slavery are too old to return or begin school.  Without an education, there is little hope for a future. With this in mind, we enroll each child in an apprenticeship program of their choice to learn a lifelong skill.

Empowerment:
Parents can participate in a Savings and Loan program run by the community and Social Welfare Department that enables them to create a future for their families. ORR staff provides coaching for these groups, but the participants have taken ownership to expand and replicate this program in surrounding communities. 

Break the Silence Program:

ORR, in partnership with World Hope International, are using a child friendly tool (a flip chart) that imparts awareness raising, prevention education, and aftercare training. With this flip chart we raise children's awareness of their personal rights, as well as connect them to the resource of an anti-trafficking and abuse hotline number should they find themselves vulnerable to trafficking and/or exploitation.

Liberia's Only Anti-Trafficking/Sexual Abuse Prevention Hotline:

The hotline, which is funded by ORR, but hosted at the Ministry of Labor with World Hope International oversight and operational involvement. The hotline serves two significant roles:

  1. It is the only government-run anti-trafficking hotline in the nation and is a critical portion of the government’s strategic roadmap to combat human trafficking.
  2. The hotline provides abused victims with an outlet to get help from trained social workers and government officials. 

      Our work is made possible through partnerships and your support. Thank you for making positive change possible!

      Through the support of our generous donors in 2025/2026, we were able to keep children fed, expand our programs, and continue to overcome injustice for children in West Africa.
