Fighting human trafficking together, by empowering
young women and men towards self-sufficiency

Who We Are

 

Footprint to Freedom is a survivor-led non-profit organization dedicated to the empowerment, advocacy, and reintegration of survivors of human trafficking. Guided by the belief that every individual deserves freedom and dignity, we work tirelessly to support and uplift survivors and vulnerable communities.

We operate in the Netherlands and implement grassroots interventions in Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda. Through our movement-building initiative, the African Survivor Coalition, we are scaling our efforts to reach all 54 African countries.

Mission

 

To prevent, unite, advocate and empower survivors of human trafficking and its intersectionality’s through strengthening systems, identifying and equipping leaders, educating and providing resources, and developing sustainable partnerships in Africa and beyond.

Vision

 

We envision a world where every individual is free from exploitation, with the opportunity to live a life of dignity, independence, and purpose.

Our Objectives

 

At Footprint to Freedom, we empower survivors of human trafficking and vulnerable communities to rebuild their lives and become leaders in the fight for justice. Our United for Freedom Strategy serves as our six major response areas.

Prevention

We raise awareness about human trafficking and its root causes through community outreach, school programs, social media campaigns, and kids' clubs, empowering communities againstexploitation.

Protection

We offer comprehensive support, including mental health services, vocational training, community integration, family unification, and cultural mediation, to help survivors reintegrate successfully into the society thereby reducing the risk of re-trafficking.

Empowerment

We equip survivors and vulnerable communities with the skills and opportunities to regain control of their lives and thrive. Through the African Survivor Leadership Academy and our Empowerment Centre, we provide training in survivor leadership, computer literacy, tailoring, and arts and crafts. We also mentor survivor leaders/ survivor-led organizations and support organizations combating human trafficking to enhance their impact.

Movement Building

We are building a strong network of survivor leaders and survivor-led organisations across Africa through our initiative the African Survivor Coalition . This initiative amplifies the voices of African survivors and equips them with the resources to lead the global fight against trafficking. We foster collaboration, solidarity, and cross-border cooperation by organising meetings, conferences, and forums.

Advocacy

We advocate for the rights and needs of victims and survivors, ensuring their inclusion in research and decision-making processes. By influencing policies and legislation on human trafficking, we promote human rights and amplify survivor voices in shaping impactful solutions.

Partnerships

We collaborate with academic and research institutions to gather data on trafficking trends, survivor experiences, and service gaps. We facilitate partnerships among NGOs, governments, and other stakeholders, bridging the gap between survivor-led organizations and key actors such as donors and funders to enhance collective impact.
