Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Modern human trafficking, is more prevalent than many realize. 49.6 million people are estimated to be living in modern-day slavery worldwide. 6.3 million people are trafficked for sex around the world. (International Labor Organization) Women and children are forced into commercial sex acts to the profit of a trafficker; men and children coerced into working in hazardous conditions under debt bondage and unfair wages… These are just a few examples of the different types of trafficking that exist in the world today. Why Cambodia? The country’s unique economic challenges, history, and geographic location made it a hub for targeting, transporting, and harboring trafficking victims. It used to be the child sex trafficking capitol of the world, but change is happening…
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Protect
We prevent the exploitation of future generations by confronting the demand for purchased sex and protecting the vulnerable. Through education, employment opportunities, discipleship, and the love of Christ, communities are transformed and families are protected from the horrors of trafficking. Let’s help stop trafficking before it even starts!
Rescue
We started our own SWAT Team in partnership with the local police to directly investigate situations of trafficking. After rescue, we provide free legal support in order to put traffickers behind bars. So far, we have rescued over 1,600 survivors and arrested over 500 traffickers.
Heal
Rescue is only the beginning of a survivor's freedom. AIM not only rescues girls from trafficking, but walks with survivors through their entire journey. Girls are healed through experiencing the relentless, unconditional love of Christ at our Restoration Homes. They stay with us and social workers are available to them for as long as they need.
Empower
One of AIM's primary goals is to empower survivors of trafficking by equipping them with the necessary tools to live a life of freedom and break the cycle of exploitation. Through AIM's Employment Center, survivors and those vulnerable to trafficking are given safe employment, job training, language classes, and life-skills training to support them as they pursue careers past the Employment Center. In addition to this, our team is continuing to develop spiritual growth opportunities for the women we serve. Check out their hand crafted products at aimapparel.org

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
AIM is working to rescue, heal and empower survivors of trafficking to be free. This work doesn’t stop at rescue. For these girls to truly heal and grow, they need to feel the unconditional, relentless love of Christ. When this love is shown, survivors understand their true worth and value, and then they are able to become abolitionists themselves; raising their voices and fighting for the freedom of other girls.
In addition to this, our protection programs are targeting the root of the issue by addressing the demand for purchased sex and protecting the vulnerable in the community.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
When our founders Don and Bridget Brewster heard that little children were being sold for sex every night, they did not turn their backs. They moved to Cambodia to help fight for freedom and stand up for the oppressed. AIM is working to rescue, heal and empower survivors of trafficking to be free. Through a holistic approach of rescuing, restoring and reintegrating survivors of trafficking and preventing sexual slavery, AIM seeks to meet survivors’ spiritual, emotional, social, educational and physical needs.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
AIM has 10+ programs that work to rescue, heal, empower and protect those vulnerable to trafficking. Our SWAT team works in tandem with the government to make sure women and girls are rescued and traffickers are arrested. Our restoration home walks with survivors through every step of their healing journey so they can be empowered in their new life of freedom. Safe, sustainable employment is provided to ensure survivors are never trafficked again!
AIM works to confront the demand for purchased sex and protect the vulnerable. Through education, employment opportunities, discipleship, and the love of Christ, communities are transformed and families are protected from the horrors of trafficking. From our AIM School to a kickboxing gym in the center of the community, our protection programs help to stop exploitation before it starts!
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
So far, we have rescued over 1,600 survivors and arrested over 500 traffickers. Through all of its programs AIM has impacted more than 10,000 people.
After 18 years of developing and executing a successful holistic model to fight trafficking in Cambodia, AIM is in its foundational stages in Belize! Despite widespread trafficking, Only 3 traffickers have been convicted in Belize since 2016 (Human Trafficking Institute).
According to the U.S. Department of State, in Belize’s “tourist regions, foreign child sex tourists, primarily from the United States, exploit child sex trafficking victims.”
This is absolutely unacceptable, and we are ready to do whatever it takes to end this evil.
