Prevention Projects
The Project to End Human Trafficking is dedicated to working collaboratively with organizations in regions of the world where individuals are at increased risk of being trafficked. Currently we are working in both Costa Rica and Zambia with the objective of preventing human trafficking before it starts.
Costa Rica
The Project to End Human Trafficking is developing a Prevention Project in Costa Rica in collaboration with social service agencies in and around San Jose. PEHT will travel to Costa Rica throughout the spring and summer of 2006 to meet with representatives of agencies that are working to raise awareness about the risk of sex trafficking and sex tourism. Target groups for this project are women and children.

Zambia
The Project to End Human Trafficking is developing a Prevention Project in Zambia. Through collaborative efforts with five Zambian social service organizations, steps are being taken to raise awareness in rural areas regarding the risk of human trafficking. Evans Lombe from the African Agency for Humanitarian Aid has been serving as a consultant on the development of this project.
Our goal is to provide social service organizations with anti-trafficking materials including workshop tools and educative pamphlets to raise awareness of the existence of modern-slavery. An additional objective of our work in Zambia is to facilitate community building among those organizations uniquely situated to play a role in lowering the risk of the trafficking of Zambian citizens.
