As a registered 501 (c ) 3 charitable organization The Protection Project is funded through both public grants and private donations. It is only thanks to this support that we can continue our work and strive to make an impact.
All donations, big or small are fully devoted to the implementation of the projects in one of our 7 areas of work:

Any donation you make will be devoted to organizing the Annual Symposiums on Trafficking in Persons in Washington DC, to conducting fact-finding missions around the world to collect data on cases of trafficking in persons, to publish reports on trafficking in persons and to conduct trainings for Government officials, law enforcement personnel, and NGOs on trafficking in persons.

Clinical Legal Education: Please consider donating if you would like to assist us in advancing clinical legal education in the Middle East and Latin America. Law clinics are an increasingly global means for advancing access to justice for poor and vulnerable members of society as well as for imparting in law students a sense of volunteerism and community service. Many vulnerable sectors of society in the Middle East, including women, children, the disabled and migrant workers, have very limited access to justice in the MENA region. By donating to this cause, you will help us establish and run legal centers at Universities in the region that can provide free and quality representation to these populations.
