July 30: Standing Together to End Human Trafficking

Global Servants

On July 30, the world observes the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, a United Nations-designated day that calls us to raise awareness, advocate for change, and take action to stop human trafficking. This global crisis affects tens of millions of people, and too often, the most vulnerable are children.

At Global Servants, we believe the most powerful response to trafficking is prevention—and that starts by protecting and empowering girls before traffickers can ever reach them.


Understanding the Issue of Human Trafficking

Human trafficking comes in many forms: forced labor, sexual exploitation, child marriage, and more. Traffickers often target those who are vulnerable—those without access to education, safe housing, or family support. Many girls around the world are at risk simply because of where they were born. Poverty, lack of opportunity, and cultural inequalities leave them exposed to exploitation. That’s where Global Servants steps in.


Prevention Through Protection and Education

At our House of Grace homes in Thailand and Ghana, we provide a safe, nurturing environment for girls who would otherwise be vulnerable to trafficking, abuse, or forced child marriage. These are not shelters for survivors—but rather places of protection, learning, and hope for girls who are at risk.


Your support helps us offer:

  • Safe housing in a Christ-centered family environment
  • Nutritious meals and daily care
  • Access to education, including college and vocational training
  • Spiritual guidance that strengthens their identity and purpose


By empowering girls with love, stability, and opportunity, we’re building a future where they can thrive—and where traffickers lose their power.


How You Can Join the Fight

1. Learn the Signs
Understanding how trafficking happens is the first step in prevention. Educate yourself and your community.

2. Invest in Prevention
Your donations to Global Servants help prevent trafficking before it starts. Every gift builds a stronger future for at-risk girls.

3. Use Your Voice
Share this message. Spread awareness. The more people understand the issue, the fewer victims traffickers can exploit.

4. Advocate for Justice
Support policies that protect vulnerable communities and fund programs that prevent trafficking around the world.


Why This Day Matters

World Day Against Trafficking in Persons is more than an awareness campaign—it’s a call to action. And you don’t have to work in law enforcement or social services to make a difference. When you give, share, pray, and advocate, you help break the cycle before it begins.

At Global Servants, we believe that every girl deserves a future filled with hope, not fear. On July 30, and every day, let’s stand together to ensure no child falls into the hands of a trafficker.

Why Laptops Matter for University Students For most university students, a laptop is essential. It’s where assignments are completed, research is done, and classwork is organized. Without one, students often have to share devices or wait in long lines at campus libraries. With their own laptops, the girls can manage their time wisely, keep all their coursework in one place, and develop confidence in their ability to succeed. This practical gift communicates something powerful: you are worthy of investment. That confidence motivates our girls to work harder and dream bigger. From House of Grace to Higher Education The journey from at-risk child to university student is nothing short of remarkable. What began as an act of rescue has grown into a story of restoration, education, and empowerment. Each laptop placed in the hands of a young woman at university is a visible symbol of transformation—a life once vulnerable now thriving, equipped, and prepared to lead. How You Can Help Stories like this are only possible because of generous partners who believe in education as prevention. By supporting Global Servants, you help ensure that girls not only grow up safe at House of Grace but also go on to achieve higher education and break cycles of poverty and exploitation for generations to come.

Why New Vehicles Matter From school runs and medical appointments to ministry outreach and community engagement, vehicles play a vital role in the daily rhythm of House of Grace. Reliable transportation ensures that the girls can get to school on time, receive proper healthcare, and participate in activities that enrich their growth and development. A Blessing for Staff and Students The addition of new vehicles also eases the workload for our staff, who faithfully serve the girls each day. With dependable transportation, staff can focus less on logistics and more on what matters most—caring for the girls and nurturing their spiritual, educational, and emotional growth. Expanding Our Reach Beyond daily needs, these vehicles also empower Global Servants to extend our mission into surrounding communities. Whether transporting supplies, welcoming visitors, or engaging in local outreach, the vehicles are tools that allow us to serve more people and share God’s love more effectively. Be Part of the Journey Every mile traveled in these vehicles represents an investment in safety, education, and ministry. Your partnership makes resources like this possible. When you give, you help provide the practical tools that ensure House of Grace continues to be a place of refuge and empowerment.
