What does Agape International do?

Agape International Missions (AIM) is a nonprofit organization based in Roseville, California, focused on combating sex trafficking and supporting survivors. Founded in 1988 in Cambodia, AIM shifted its mission in 2005 to specifically address child sexual slavery and trafficking. The organization operates with an annual budget of approximately $9.3 million and employs a workforce of 200 to 500 people. AIM utilizes a comprehensive approach that includes prevention, rescue, and restoration. Its prevention programs educate communities and provide emergency care to vulnerable populations. The organization partners with the Cambodian National Police to rescue victims and offers legal representation to protect their rights. Once rescued, survivors enter AIM's restoration programs, which provide emotional healing, vocational training, and support for reintegration into their communities. AIM also runs educational schools and advocacy campaigns to raise awareness about trafficking and mobilize community support.
