    About ICA

    International Crisis Aid began in 2000 by delivering humanitarian aid to "no-go" regions of war-torn Southern Sudan. Since then, ICA's programs have expanded to include feeding, medical, orphanages, disaster relief, girls' schools, community development, and rescue from sex trafficking. As an established non-profit, ICA serves children and families in need from Cambodia, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, North Korea, Indonesia, and Sudan.

    National Human Trafficking Awareness Day-- 2010

    DateMonday, January 11, 2010 at 11:39AM tagged , , in ,

    What is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day?  

    January 11, 2010 is a day set aside for all of us to unite and help spread the word that SLAVERY STILL EXISTS and that together we can make a difference! The more people who know the more people we can mobilize.

    We are asking that all of our supporters help educate their family, friends, co-workers, and peers about the reality of human trafficking. On January 4, 2010 President Obama signed a proclamation declaring that January is “National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month,” acknowledging that SLAVERY STILL EXISTS -- YOU CAN BE A VOICE OF CHANGE!  

    HERE ARE SOME WAYS THAT YOU CAN HELP:  

    Follow our tweets all day on Twitter and RT to your network!

    Share this with your friends.

    Post this link on your blog or Facebook page. 

    Make a donation to contribute to our SAFE home for women who have been rescued from trafficking right here in the St. Louis area.  

    To learn a little bit more, you can watch this video to hear about the trafficking issue from ICA Staff, Jennifer Jones.

    Join us again on February 1st for National Freedom Day!  

    Between now and then snap a photo of yourself spreading the word about slavery.  Be CREATIVE, write in the snow, make a shirt, sign, or whatever else you decide and send it to cdodson@crisisaid.org for a chance to win a gift card from Starbucks and a SAFE campaign t-shirt!

    Sex Trafficking in the United States

    DateTuesday, September 8, 2009 at 10:04PM tagged , , in ,

    With the countdown to the 5K Run for Freedom winding down, we thought you might enjoy a snip from a documentary that explains the phenomenon of sex trafficking in the United States.  Cargo: Innocence Lost explores how the business of sex trafficking has become a $9 billion dollar a year industry and why it still remains a shrouded crime in our nation.  The full documentary features "compelling interviews with some of the country’s top officials on the subject, victims’ advocates and victims themselves, who were rescued in Texas." 

    CARGO INNOCENCE LOST- DECEPTION

    We hope you get a chance to check out this great work and become inspired to help International Crisis Aid establish the first home for domestic victims of this horrible crime by running (or walking) in the 5K Run/Walk for Freedom on September 19 from 7:00-10:00am on the campus of Saint Louis University.  You can click HERE to pre-register for the race.
