AIM’s mission is to end the evil of child sexual slavery. We stop the cycle of exploitation through a holistic approach, which prevents trafficking and rescues, restores, and reintegrates survivors. Defeating a complex, decentralized problem like child sex trafficking requires a holistic strategy that involves survivors, law enforcement, and the community. Our programs PREVENT sex trafficking, and work to RESCUE, RESTORE and REINTEGRATE survivors of this horrible crime. Through this approach, AIM is committed to lifelong and community-wide transformation that is effective and lasting.

PREVENT: Prevention addresses children’s needs and works to keep them out of traffickers’ hands. Programs include: Rahab’s House Church & Community Center, Humanitarian Aid, AIM School, Community Healthcare, Emergency Family Care, Men’s Outreach & Lotus Kids’ Club. RESCUE: AIM conducts investigations, performs raids, makes arrests & rescues victims of trafficking alongside local Cambodian officials. Programs include: AIM SWAT Team, Direct Outreach, China Rescues & Cross-Border Trafficking Patrol. RESTORE: The girls who’ve been sold, abused & devastated by sex trafficking need more than a one-night raid and one day of healthcare. Each rescued girl receives physical, psychosocial, educational, vocational & spiritual care. Programs include: AIM Restoration Home & AIM Transitional Homes. REINTEGRATE: Our programs equip survivors with marketable skills, employment opportunities & ongoing social work visits. Programs include: AIM Employment Centers, 3Strands Shop & Siem Reap Ministries.

In 2005, Cambodia’s greatest need was a safe place for rescued girls. So, AIM began with a restoration home (ARH). Today, with more than 12 programs on the ground impacting more than 10,000 people every year, we're stopping the cycle of exploitation one life at a time. Each AIM program has evolved out of a need we saw while working on the ground in Cambodia, and each program contributes to the success of the others. Since we began our anti-trafficking efforts 15 years ago, AIM has rescued over 1,400 children, women and men, restored over 900 survivors, reintegrated over 1,000 survivors, and impacted over 10,000 children and adults through prevention programs. * *As reported February 2020

We measure progress through each and every person with whom we come in contact. “One girl is too many; one day is too long. ” This phrase stemmed from a girl named Toha. She was trafficked for 22 days and raped by 198 men. Those statistics are shocking, yet likely not atypical. Once we learned of what could happen to one child in such a short time, a new sense of urgency was instilled in us and so, we measure progress by the individual lives we impact. Our goal is to eradicate sex trafficking in Cambodia. In order for that to happen, our army has to grow – one person at a time. Each person creates a ripple in the waters of trafficking. That one ripple then extends to another, who creates another, and another. We want to create a wave of impact that knocks trafficking out of Cambodia. In order for that to happen, the one has to return to their community and bring the call for change after experiencing it first for themselves. One girl. One day. One story. One ripple. One massive wave.

As of February 2020, AIM has rescued over 1,400 children, women and men, restored over 900 survivors, reintegrated over 1,000 survivors, and impacted over 10,000 children and adults through prevention programs.
