HOW WE PREVENT CHILD TRAFFICKING

ZOE works to prevent the trafficking and exploitation of children. Individual, family, social, economic, and demand-related factors, can collectively contribute to increasing the vulnerability of children to exploitation. ZOE offers a range of programs that are designed to build a community of people who are aware and educated about Modern Slavery.

HOW WE CARE FOR ORPHANS AND RESTORE
THE LIVES OF CHILD TRAFFICKING SURVIVORS

ZOE provides comprehensive restoration support to meet the specific needs of child trafficking survivors. In Thailand, the care is based on a 'family' model. ZOE parents are indigenous staff who receive ongoing, trauma-informed training that enables them to care for the unique needs of each individual child.  ZOE helps to care for orphaned children and trafficking survivors by providing children with a safe home, education, medical and emotional care. 

ZOE provides support to child survivors and children at-risk in Australia via partnership and collaboration with other NGOs.  We look to find and fill the gaps in existing programs and help with unique and emergency needs. ZOE is growing the ‘restoration’ area in Australia.
