Values

Strategy

An effective approach to combating Human Trafficking

Core Values

Love: The absence of love is judgement. At MeCAHT we operate from an unconditional love that God has shown us therefore we do not judge others but welcome everyone into a world where God’s love makes us feel a sense of belonging.

Dignity: We believe that every human person has inherent dignity but sadly the harsh experiences in life have robbed many of their self-worth. At MeCAHT we value each individual and give them the opportunity to thrive, thereby restoring their innate dignity.

Partnership: We are stronger together and human trafficking is an organized crime. We must organize ourselves in strong partnerships to end trafficking. We do not work in silos because we believe we cannot end human trafficking on our own.

Excellence: We do not aspire to be perfectionists, but excellence means putting the best efforts, using the available resources we have to serve God and humanity in all we do.
