About Family Restoration

One of the ways we aim to End Child Sex Slavery Through Prevention is through a prevention model called Family Restoration. In this approach, rather than removing children from their at-risk environment to place them in a safer home environment, the focus instead becomes removing risk factors from the child’s environment. The goal is a long-term investment not only in the safety of the child, but also in restoration of the child’s family, which in the long term is best for the child’s overall health. Through Family Restoration, our team holistically focuses on the physical, spiritual, emotional, and educational well-being of the children to prevent sexual exploitation in regions with historically high rates of child trafficking.

Our team has been working in Bolivia, South America for over a decade implementing Family Restoration through programming, workshops, education, counseling, building relationships with families and working with children in impoverished indigenous villages. These children are statistically at high risk of child sex trafficking, often caught in generational cycles such as extreme poverty, violence, abuse, and lack of educational and vocational opportunities. Our team assesses each family’s needs holistically, and creates personalized plans to support them moving forward. In Bolivia, our team has seen many families be empowered to end negative generational cycles through Family Restoration. This paves the way for safer children, families, and communities, as Family Restoration has a “ripple effect” for all who are involved.
