Short Summary
We are a non-profit organization called, Love Never Fails World Charity. We strive to abolish the commercial child sex industry. We work globally to inform the public through social media, encouraging public outrage and equipping people to rise up to prevent, rescue, and restore the victims.
The first step of stopping child sex trafficking is knowing it exists. We are creating a campaign called "I'D RATHER KNOW". We are using museum quality pictures of everyday people in everyday locations within Los Angeles. All wearing blindfolds covered with images of what they do not want to know about child trafficking. Presented in art galleries, used in fundraisers and for awareness, in print and online. Shot by a high profile ent. industry photographer who works on "Dancing With The Stars", "24", "So You Think You Can Dance", "American Idol", "Grays Anatomy", "Touch" - just a few of his credits. He is donating his work.
Along side the photos, we will also be using different video formats, graphic arts, etc. Some stories work best in print. Others on film. Still others as web shorts. We want to use every opportunity and avenue to make an impact for the cause.
The Impact
Your contributions toward this campaign are of great magnitude, because you will help empower everyday people to use the tools in their hands and take action to stop child sex trafficking. You will contribute toward uniting and mobilizing communities to prevent this devastating practice.
Two kids are being trafficked for sex every minute around the globe and are sold for as little as $16US. The average age is eight years old, but some are as young as four months old. By a conservative estimate 250, 000 american kids are trafficked every year in the United Sates. Some are kidnapped from the mall in their suburban neighborhood, others are tricked, yet others are sold by family members or piers. Sex trafficking is a $32 billion industry, second only to drug trafficking and the fastest growing.
BECOME A PART OF THE SOLUTION! The impact of a campaign like this will be great. People will be rightfully outraged and laws will change, due to public pressure. Child Sex Trafficking is a financial crime. If we hit the traffickers in the pocket, the risk will outweigh the possibility of gain by selling kids for sex. Through this campaign we will also address the demand factor, as well as inform the public on how to protect their own children from becoming trafficked. We are aiming to build the first LA safehome for children rescued from sex trafficking. We believe that the campaign will help us raise money to fund that. We currently support a safe home in Thailand, where it's existence and prevention efforts have helped minimize trafficking in the surrounding area by 55%.
What We Need and What You Get
Even though our photographer, filmmakers and models are volunteers, we need $9,000 to use for hard production cost, public relations, publicity and advertisement cost and a venue for our event.
All donations made are tax deductible, due to our non-profit status. We will also be thanking each person who has donated on our website and during the campaign.
