It is critical to raise awareness among the young people in Eastern Europe, especially those who are high at-risk children. This is accomplished through Anti-Human Trafficking awareness programs…
- In schools & universities (tens of thousands of kids are impacted each year);
- To orphans through our Orphanage Ministries;
- Through ministries to street kids, kids from families in crisis and desperately poor families;
- At summer camps. HART sends over 7,000 kids to camps each summer;
- For teachers, students & parents in high risk regions of their countries;
- Through conferences held in a variety of countries such as Moldova, Ukraine, Russia and Central Asian countries.

Many of the victims of human trafficking are from impoverished families. The parents typically suffer from addiction to alcohol or drugs, psychological or mental health issues, etc.
Girls from these families have few options and eventually start to work on the streets or move to another country to seek employment. Because of their lack of education they are easy prey for traffickers and pimps.
- Scholarships: HART provides scholarships for at-risk young girls, giving them an option that can free them from a life of poverty and potential abuse, drug addiction and death. A diploma from a vocational training college or a university degree will help their marketability in the workplace.
- Social assistance: Case-workers visit them in their homes and schools, speaking with the parents and teachers to monitor their progress.
