Give Freedom

Every safe night’s sleep. Every shared meal. Every child’s laughter. These are the little things that freedom brings.

For people living in violence, freedom is more than the absence of fear—it’s the return of peace, belonging, and joy.
When you give, you help rescue people from violence, restore survivors, and build justice systems that protect, so freedom can last.

Survivor Story

When Appa Rao left home one morning, he only wanted to earn enough money to buy a small gift for his daughter. He never imagined he would be gone for 22 years.

This is the story of his journey home, and the freedom your support makes possible.

“I am keeping well. I am happy because I am back home. I am joyful to be reunited with my daughter and son-in-law.”

— Appa Rao

The odds were a billion to one.

After 22 years of exploitation, Appa Rao was finally free.
Then came the miracle–finding his family in a country of over 1 billion people.

IJM supported local officials to bring him home.
This is the moment he was reunited with his family.

When we work together, freedom grows.

Your generosity fuels a global movement to end slavery and violence. Together, we’re protecting people in poverty, helping survivors rebuild, and strengthening justice systems that keep entire communities safe. 

Every gift helps make it possible for more people to reclaim the little things that freedom brings.
