MISSION STATEMENT

“Raise awareness
Engage a generation
End sex trafficking.”



PROJECT FUTURES is a Sydney based, non-profit organisation, run by a passionate network of young and inspiring professionals. We raise awareness and funds for programs dedicated to combating human trafficking and sexual exploitation in Australia and South-East Asia. The money raised contributes to the funding of rescue, recovery, education and reintegration of victims, as well as advocacy for the cause.

PROJECT FUTURES was inspired by the biography of former Cambodian sex slave, Somaly Mam. In June 2009, Stephanie Lorenzo established PROJECT FUTURES after organising a charity bike ride across Cambodia which raised US$80,000 for the Somaly Mam Foundation. Combining a socially engaged network, a fun and motivational activity and a life-changing experience of meeting survivors of sex trafficking, provided the catalyst to what would eventually become PROJECT FUTURES.

In three short years, we have created a successful track record of innovative events and campaigns including fundraisers, parties, concerts, print and multimedia campaigns, school and university programs, and media outreach programs.

The backbone of PROJECT FUTURES is a network of socially engaged individuals who share a desire to see sex trafficking abolished in our lifetime. We attract young professionals who have the ambition and dedication to utilise their skills and social networks to raise awareness of this issue. PROJECT FUTURES is revamping the image of charity. Our version of charity is exciting, collaborative, and is as equally focused on education and awareness raising as it is on fundraising. We are not simply after your donation, we need your voice.

Please watch the video below. It is the first video our team ever created. As you can see our brand has grown so much since that time, but the essence of who we are and the message that we want to spread still rings true today. Enjoy!
