Explore resources for funders with a strategic approach to grantmaking and generational giving
Grantmakers are part of the story.
Every grant fuels the mission to rescue, restore, and equip. Your support directly impacts rescue operations, survivor aftercare, vocational training, and community reintegration—helping end generational cycles of exploitation.
What our work makes possible.
Every day, millions of children are pushed or pulled into sexual exploitation and human trafficking. Perpetrators exploit children’s physical conditions, power disparities, poverty, and social norms – and the under-resourced communities they live in.
Our vision is to see a world where no child is exploited. Our theory of change ensures that rescue is only the beginning—lasting freedom is the goal.
If we rescue children, address the vulnerabilities that led to their exploitation, and equip local community partners and government agencies to fight exploitation, then child survivors will stabilise and be protected against re-victimisation.
Destiny Rescue’s theory of change describes how our work contributes to bringing about the eventual end of sexual exploitation and human trafficking of children.
To do this, we walk with children and their families as they break free from exploitation, pursue partnerships and counter-trafficking efforts to outpace criminal activity, and work for a world where all children are valued and protected.
Our work and goals align with the following three SDGs.
Making sense of the data and stories.
Destiny Rescue is committed to demonstrating the outcomes your grants help make possible. Our international data and evaluation team gathers, verifies, and analyses high-quality data to better understand the difference rescue makes in survivors’ lives over time. This approach makes it possible to respond regularly and timely to your grant reporting requirements.
The monitoring and evaluation team also provides intelligence and insights that are useful to staff for driving continuous learning and improvement, producing evidence of impact and empowering survivors to participate in shaping programming to better meet their needs. We are currently field testing survivor outcomes assessment tools and conducting rapid local evaluations, so we can better articulate the change happening on individual, family and community levels. We look forward to sharing the results of this work with you as it becomes available.

VIEWSurvivor Advisory Council
We listen to survivors of trafficking.
In 2023, Destiny Rescue launched our first Survivor Advisory Council, a place where survivors make their voices heard and feel supported in the company of other survivors. The Council comprises women who were rescued as children and enrolled in a Destiny Rescue project and are now adults living free from exploitation. Survivors are not just recipients of aid—they are changemakers. Through the Survivor Advisory Council, women who once needed rescue are now shaping the future of rescue and restoration for others.
Destiny Rescue believes the diverse and personal knowledge that survivors hold gives them the unique ability to translate lived experiences into meaningful systemic change. We listen with an open mind and provide support to ensure what we learn from them translates into recommendations for meaningful program improvement.
