We understand child trafficking at its roots. Since 1965, we have helped orphans and vulnerable children through our child sponsorship program, and too many times we've witnessed the evil of these kidnappers. Watch the video to learn a bit more about what we do at World's Children.

Estimates vary of the number of slaves in the world today. On the low end, the U.S. State
Department estimates that as many as 27 million people are living in bondage. But according to
the 2016 Global Slavery Index there are 45.8 million enslaved people in the world and 40
percent of them are in India. That is more slaves than the entire population of Spain!

MICAH (Memphis Interfaith Coalition for Action and Hope) is a coalition of community and faith-based organizations joining together to give a more powerful voice for issues of justice in our city. Our current platform concentrates on three pillar issues, economic equity, education equity, and race & class equity in the justice system. We organize and speak to our community and its leaders, always seeking to "do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God." The purpose of MICAH is not to replace each congregation or community organization's efforts, but instead to amplify the voice and the impact by working together interdependently.
