Saved In America could not exist or be nearly as successful if it wasn’t for the partnership we enjoy with many wonderful companies. These companies put their hard-earned money where their heart is and support us as we seek to address the growing problem of human trafficking within our nation. One such company is Sentek Global, a technology service provider that was recently awarded the Mission #ChildSavedNotSold award as well as the Special Recognition Awards for their continued efforts of helping SIA accomplish its important mission through regular donations. 

Why Human Trafficking Needs to be Addressed

Human trafficking is a growing problem worldwide and the perceived safety of our American borders are no exception to this horrible trend. Today’s childhood human trafficking victims, numbering up to 300,000, come from all sorts of backgrounds. Kids today are all at an increased risk of becoming lured into the industry by pimps and predators who seek to entice them into this horrendous lifestyle. Before they know what happens, the victims are trapped within a lifestyle that they don’t want to be in but can’t escape from. Often, this all begins with the kids being tricked into running away from home and their support system. Once away from home and classified as a runaway, they become easy targets for the predators to capture and enslave them. 

Saved In America Works to Rescue Them First

Time is of the essence after a kid has gone missing. Thankfully, Saved In America has a great track record for finding runaways before the bad guys, in around 60% of the cases they are involved in. This means in 60% of all the runaway cases they work, they have found the girls before they are taken into human trafficking. Their efforts are made possible by companies like Sentek Global that support SIA through sponsorship, donations, and offering their services to help track down missing girls before they have become entrenched in the industry. After the girls are recovered, SIA follows up and ensures they are given the help they need to recover from their experience as well as help them obtain legal representation to attempt to prosecute the criminals responsible for their disappearance. All of this is made possible by wonderful companies like Sentek Global. #ChildSavedNotSold
