Why We Exist

---

Rise180 began with a quiet but clear call to step into the dark world of human trafficking. The more we learned about bonded labor, child trafficking, and communities surviving on the edge, the more our hearts burn to step towards people that much of the world has written off. 

From the beginning our heart has been to move towards these people and offer redemption to a renewed sense of hope and purpose, born through healing and restoration. To help them rise up from bondage into a new life. 

  Our Guiding Values:

• Love – Love is an Action
• Restoration – Healing begins with being seen and known
• Wholeness – We are made for more
• Pupose – We rise by lifting others
• Dignity – Every life matters, every story can be rewritten
• Integrity – Character is proven in the unseen

The work of freedom is far too large for any one organization. Rise180 collaborates with a network of people and organizations to identify people in danger, respond quickly, and provide long-term support after rescue.

These partnerships allow us to combine local presence, emotional care, protection, and practical support so that people are not only freed but also welcomed into communities where they can heal and grow.

· Local presence – people on the ground who know the real risks and needs.

· Emotional and spiritual care – support for survivors beyond the moment of rescue.

· Protection and aftercare – safe housing, support, counseling, and long-term care.

· Practical support – food, schooling, job pathways, and small business startup help.
