What started as a question—“What happens after rescue?”—grew into a global effort to raise the standard of aftercare. Today, that vision continues to unfold, one partnership and one survivor at a time.
AfterCare International was born out of a deep need for consistent, high-quality care for survivors of human trafficking.
