Nick & Christine Caine

An unforgettable year of progress in the fight against human trafficking.

Since 2008, we've seen the power of individual action, and this year was no exception.

Because of your unwavering support, A21 had our most impactful year yet. Breaking nearly every operational record to date and more than doubling the number of victims identified and assisted within a single year.

And it doesn't stop there.

From launching our first office in Latin America to reaching more minors with prevention than ever before, 2021 is one for the books. Thank you to every person who made this possible. 

The realities of human trafficking remain daunting. But our progress in the fight for freedom is remarkable. Around every corner, there's an opportunity to make a difference, and we hope you'll continue to seize it.

Let's take a moment to celebrate the impact we made together in 2021 as we continue to fight for the one. Because when we fight for the one, we fight for all.
