May with a mission!
As we look back on May, we’re filled with gratitude and momentum. Each step we took this month brought us closer to our mission of protecting and empowering children and teens. From equipping young people to navigate the online world safely to preparing for a life-changing outreach in a remote mountainous community, May was a month of planting seeds that we believe will grow into a lasting impact.
The month of May was all about prevention:
We trained 62 teens on how to stay safe online. Our sessions covered the importance of online privacy, recognizing inappropriate online content, and the dangers of online sexual abuse and exploitation of children (OSAEC). The teens were so happy, and we’re proud to empower the next generation with the knowledge and tools to protect themselves in the digital world.
One of the highlights was our team’s participation in the National Code Red Conference. It was a valuable time of staff learning, equipping, and building meaningful partnerships with like-minded organizations that share our passion for ending child exploitation.
At the same time, we were full steam ahead, preparing for a massive outreach to a remote mountainous community where child marriage is still common! We printed awareness materials, prepared hygiene kits, and finalized plans for child protection training for children and parents. We’re believing to reach 1,000 children with life-changing knowledge, care, and support.

Lift up our team as we build on what we gained at the Code Red National Conference. Pray that the partnerships formed would lead to greater collaboration and impact, and that our staff would continue to grow in wisdom, strength, and unity as we serve together.
Pray for the 62 teens we trained this month—that the lessons on online safety, privacy, and the dangers of OSAEC would take root in their hearts. Ask God to protect them as they navigate the digital world and give them the courage to make wise choices.
