Operation Zian exists to protect the vulnerable, confront injustice, and bring hope to children who are too often unseen. We believe every child deserves safety, dignity, and the chance to experience a life free from fear.

Through outreach, advocacy, rescue, and restoration, we work alongside trusted partners to prevent exploitation, intervene when danger is present, and support survivors on their journey to healing. Our mission is simple but urgent: to shine light in dark places and be the answer to a child’s prayer for freedom.

Children in vulnerable communities often face dangers long before exploitation occurs. That’s why Operation Zian begins with outreach — stepping into places where risk is high and hope is scarce. Our teams connect with families, schools, churches, and local leaders to identify children who may be at risk and to build trust before crisis strikes.

Outreach is about presence. It’s showing up consistently, offering support, and creating safe pathways for children who feel forgotten or unseen. Through education, faith-based encouragement, practical resources, and community engagement, we work to break cycles of vulnerability and equip communities to protect their own.

Every conversation, every visit, and every relationship formed through outreach strengthens the shield around a child’s life. This is where prevention starts — on the ground, heart to heart, one community at a time.

“Peace is not the absence of struggle—it is the presence of freedom, safety, and hope in a child’s life.”

what we do

  • We believe that stopping trafficking begins long before it starts. That’s why we go into poor and vulnerable communities, offering food, resources, and opportunities that provide dignity and purpose. By meeting physical needs and building strong foundations, we break the cycle of desperation that traffickers prey upon.

  • Prevention must be followed by protection. Our team stays present in these communities, checking in regularly, monitoring for risks, and providing access to healthcare. We become a shield for the vulnerable, ensuring they are seen, supported, and safeguarded from those who would exploit them.

  • At the heart of everything we do is the hope of the gospel. Beyond physical needs, we share the love and truth of Jesus Christ, giving people meaning, identity, and lasting purpose. We proclaim freedom in Him, bringing not just rescue from trafficking, but redemption of the heart.
