Last year marked a meaningful milestone — 20 years of protecting lives and restoring hope.

For two decades, LUV has been working alongside local leaders to prevent human trafficking before it begins — addressing the root causes that leave children and families vulnerable, and helping create a different path forward.

Today, thousands have been impacted through LUV. What once looked like vulnerability now looks like resilience, leadership, and lasting change.

As we look ahead, we’re reminded that this work doesn’t happen overnight. Real, lasting change takes time, trust, and a long-term commitment.

Inside this Impact Report, you’ll find powerful stories of lives protected, meaningful progress made over the past year, and a closer look at how local leaders are continuing to strengthen communities through protection, education, and economic development.

If you’ve been following along, you’re already part of this incredible story of transformation. And if something in this report moved you, we invite you to take a next step — whether that’s reaching out to name what you loved, sharing this work with others, or getting involved in a deeper way.

There is still more work ahead, and many more lives to be reached.

Because of the generosity of people like you, cycles of exploitation are being interrupted and hope is being restored where it’s needed most.

Thank you for standing with us.

Join Audrey Moore, LUV’s CEO, on Thursday, April 30th for a short, 30-minute LUV Impact Report. I’ll be sharing key takeaways from our 2025 report, current updates from Sudan and South Sudan, and a few ways you can continue to make an impact.
