Art to Healing's mission is to support the recovery of child sex slaves, and women and children who have experienced sex trafficking, and exploitation in Asia with trauma-informed care and mental health support so that the cycle of sex slavery ends. We believe that this care is vital if women and girls are to recover from their traumatic pasts, build resilience and imagine new possibilities for their lives, that is free from fear, abuse, and exploitation. Without the effective care and support of a trained trauma-informed professional, community support and a solid foundation of safety, women, and girls frequently return to sex slavery.

Blue Dragon's mission is to provide exceptional care to Vietnamese children and families in crisis while creating long-term change for a better world. Blue Dragon works according to the following values: - Respect, not pity: The children we work with are treated with at least the same respect that we would treat our own sons and daughters, brothers and sisters. - Development, not charity: Our work is to help children develop fully as they grow, through providing a broad range of experiences and opportunities. Rather than simply provide a handout, we provide a hand up for those who choose to better their circumstances and themselves. - Empowerment, not dependency: Our role is to provide opportunities for children to pursue as individuals, rather than to force our views or values on to the children. - Collaboration, not control: Our staff work alongside the children and their families, so that the beneficiaries are involved in all stages of our programs, rather than simply being recipients of charity. - Massive interventions, not quick-fix solutions: We tackle the problem of poverty from every angle, rather than focusing on one obvious cause or effect. Our interventions may take years, as we persist until we are successful.
