❓ What is something all of these recruitment methods have in common?
A. Areas of poverty�
B. They began as relationships�
The answer? B. They began as relationships.
It’s more common for someone to be trafficked by a person they know than by a stranger.
Traffickers rarely start with threats. They start with trust. With attention. With what looks like care. But here’s the truth:�
The same thing that can be used to exploit someone, a relationship, can also be the very thing that protects them. Parents who stay involved. Teachers who notice behavior changes. Friends who ask deeper questions. Neighbors who check in.
We are each other’s first line of defense.
Safe relationships act as a shield. When someone is surrounded by support, traffickers can’t recruit easily without someone raising a red flag.
That’s why understanding the signs of recruitment matters. The more informed we are, the more protected our communities become.
A21’s free resource library equips people to recognize dangerous relationships early, build safe connections, and prevent exploitation before it begins. Because awareness isn’t just information, it’s protection.

Recovery isn’t a solo project; it’s a community effort.
It was an honour to see our Recovery Skills content in action with such a dedicated group like U-Turn Pretoria. This is exactly why we do what we do - equipping leaders like Liezl to turn principles into the practical tools people need to rebuild their lives.
Thank you for the "window moment." Transformation is a process, and we’re grateful to walk it with you.
Today we had the privilege of a “window moment” into the recovery journey Liezl is leading with our Phase 2 clients.
She presents the Project Exodus Recovery Skills content with depth, clarity and grace — turning powerful principles into practical life transformation. Not only our clients, but also staff, volunteers and guests were able to experience these profound “life skills” in action.
No wonder our upper group session room is known as the “University of Life.”
A heartfelt thank you to the Project Exodus team for faithfully leading the way in Godly recovery principles. And thank you to everyone who joined us — recovery truly happens in community.
Today’s session was a powerful recap and overview of all 12 modules — a beautiful reminder of how far these clients have come.
Transformation and restoration - one life at a time. 🙏🏽

Overberg Recovery Group in Kleinmond, Western Cape opens next Wednesday! If you're in the area, take note of the information below.
A woman has been brought to safety from a situation of s*xual exploitation in South Africa, following coordinated action between frontline responders, a partner organization, and A21’s team. 👏💛
She was recruited by an acquaintance who promised better opportunities in Cape Town. Trustingly, she agreed to travel, trusting this individual and hoping for a fresh start. But upon arrival, the promises quickly turned into exploitation.
She was handed over to a trafficker who forced her to sell s*x on the streets and took all the money she earned. When she resisted or questioned him, he responded with violence and humiliation, using fear and control to keep her trapped.
🌟 In a courageous step toward freedom, she was connected to support through a partner organization and assisted in contacting the South Africa hotline. Through this referral, our team conducted a formal screening and ensured she received immediate medical care and safety support.
Today, she is choosing restoration. She has expressed interest in participating in A21’s Aftercare program as she begins rebuilding her life. 💝
This outcome is a reminder that trafficking thrives on deception and control, but freedom grows through awareness, partnership, and action.
❗❗Every call. Every report. Every trained responder matters. Thank you for supporting these continued efforts for freedom for all.

Project Exodus empowers Churches to make effective recovery services accessible for all people, across communities.
The heart is that no one gets left behind!
Breaking new ground in the provision of sustainable solutions, this initiative harnesses the transformative power of the networked Church to make expert recovery resources accessible for all South Africans
Project Exodus is an initiative of Anthem Recovery, a justice & mercy ministry of Anthem Church in Durban North, supported by the foresight and leadership of Pastors Richard and Jaci Mun-Gavin and the Eldership team.
Launched in late 2018, Project Exodus has partnered with numerous churches across the country to help them establish and build groups and recovery ministries. This is achieved through information sharing, education, training, mentorship, and resource provision.
THE LOCAL CHURCH IS A VITAL AGENT FOR CHANGE.
The local Church is a powerful (mostly untapped) resource in securing more equal access to recovery services, for all people.
Project Exodus’s vision is to establish a large network of churches who are properly equipped to facilitate effective recovery processes and assist others in finding true freedom from addiction.
TRAINING WORKSHOPS are regularly held at various locations across South Africa.
