Programs

Children

Through a child sponsorship program, Love Justice International currently operates 18 family-like children’s homes for over 200 orphaned and abandoned children in South Asia.

Education

In 2015 Love Justice established a K-12 school located in South Asia. The school provides education for over 150 children in this region.

Human trafficking

Love Justice developed a strategy called “transit monitoring and interception.” The strategy is to attack trafficking while it is in the process of occurring and before exploitation and enslavement. The staff monitors at border crossings, bus stations, train stations, and airports, and they look for signs of human trafficking.

Love Justice currently operates in 11 countries throughout Asia and Africa, and they have intercepted over 15,000 people who were at risk of human trafficking.

Data collection

Love Justice International acquires detailed data from each trafficking victim . This information is then uploaded into a database that is used to help better understand and fight trafficking networks around the world.

Through intelligence-led investigations, Love Justice collaborates with local police and uses this detailed and actionable data to arrest, prosecute, and convict traffickers. Their efforts have resulted in over 60 convictions of traffickers around the world, in addition to numerous active cases seeking prosecution and conviction.

History

Love Justice International, formerly Tiny Hands International, was established in 2005 by a group of graduates from Taylor University. Based in Lincoln, Nebraska, this nonprofit organization focuses on helping orphaned and abandoned street children in South Asia and combating human trafficking around the world.

Initially, Love Justice focused their efforts on helping orphaned and abandoned children in South Asia by providing stable homes and education. In 2015, Love Justice opened a K-12 school for children in South Asia.

In 2006, the organization piloted its first border monitoring station. Over time, this work has expanded to over 200 staff members stationed at multiple transit stations in 11 countries around the world.
