Vision Statement: To end human trafficking through education that leads to action.
Mission Statement : To activate Individuals and Communities to fight human trafficking and exploitation until every one is restored through education, trainings, and practical guides.
Bring Freedom equips people to have a specific response to human trafficking within their communities. We concentrate on education, action plans, and connection.
Since 2013, LifeKeys2Freedom has been active as an anti-trafficking organization. Our work has extended from a government anti-trafficking task force, local education and training, as well as our work with local families to prevent individuals and families from exploitation. Bring Freedom is our newest branch of a long term strategy to further education that leads to action.
