Who are we?

We are committed to bring awareness through educating, restoring and empowering the abused, and advocating for the prevention and abolition of sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation.
We are a faith-based non-profit organization with over 40 years of collective experience working with human trafficking in Wisconsin, Las Vegas, and across the U.S., as well as abroad. Damascus Road Project, Inc. has participated in hotel outreach efforts at six Super Bowls. We have worked alongside a national missing children’s organization, other anti-trafficking NGO’s, and local law enforcement, resulting in recoveries each year.
