We need your help to make the Parents Assistance Projects (PAP) possible…
ACT supports victims of child trafficking. We retrace family members and help to file criminal complaints.
Usually we do not charge for this. Most of our clients have very limited funding. Especially the parents of stolen/missing children are mostly poverty stricken and living far away in the countryside. They do not have the means to travel to their country’s main cities to file their cases, let alone to pay a lawyer.
More and more victims of trafficking turn to ACT. We would be glad to take up their cases too.
ACT receives some monthly donations of generous supporters.
However, much more is needed so that we can continue.
If you wish to support the Parent Assistance Project, please indicate ‘PAP’ in the subject line of your donation.
If you wish to support a specific case, please indicate the name of the case in the subject line of your donation.
