our story

The Power of $24

In 2008, our founder Christine went to Thailand and witnessed the reality of sexual exploitation: A person could buy a girl for a whole day for $24.

She came back home and couldn’t dismiss the injustice of human trafficking. How could a human have a price tag? And for $24?

She wanted to find a way for $24 to prevent human trafficking and bring freedom instead. This was the beginning of our organization and how we got our name—Freedom 4/24

What started as a t-shirt fundraiser, has now turned into a non-profit restoring the lives of those who have been touched by this evil while working hard to ensure it does not affect another.
