I am a VA HS Senior. I completed a senior project of which Free the Slaves was the beneficiary. For my project, I hosted For“Bid”: An Auction to Stop Human Trafficking. This project not only allowed me to collect donations, but I got to directly inform over 200 people of human trafficking. In the process of completing my project, I was in contact with Mr. Lee McClure of Free the Slaves. Without his guidance and assistance, I would not have been able to complete my project. And without the work of Kevin Bales, co-founder of Free the Slaves, I would not have been able to pass my senior thesis.

I found out about this organisation by listening to a TED talk given by its founder. He is a university professor who researched the subject of slavery in the 21st century. He discovered that ALL countries in our world have slaves (yes S-L-A-V-E-S, defined as people forced to work by threat of violence and who earn barley enough to survive) and that it can cost very little to free a slave (it costs more in some countries)! His goal is a world without any slaves.
This organization work is based on these simple rules: freeing a slave means finding him a different occupation in life & never reward the slave owner by buying the slave from him. The latter means that the workers and volunteers risk their lives to free slaves.
They have a very detailed website so check it out, I am proud to be one of their donors.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I, fortunately, am not a slave so I did not experience their work 1st hand.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Lobby governments & the filthy rich to get involved!!! Since they have a fixed number (10 billion I think) for freeing all the slaves in the world they should work to get that money.
