How Can You Help?
The Challenge
After many years of fighting human trafficking, we learned two important things: 1) many people are absolutely devastated and heartbroken for the plight of victims of human trafficking, and 2) people have a hard time figuring out how to get involved to help and make a difference. Chaddah meets this challenge head on. By taking the Encounters of Hope program into communities across the country, we are providing a free event that will draw in large, diverse crowds, educate them and activate them. The audience will learn about trafficking and how to protect themselves and loved ones. Additionally and importantly, through the power of telling the dramatic true stories, audiences are challenged to do something. By the end of the presentation, their hearts are stirred to action and rather than simply leaving, they are able to join in the lobby with hundreds of other activated souls and immediately connect with the local organizations and individuals within their own community. Every performance of Encounters of Hope creates hundreds of new soldiers in the fight against trafficking and strengthening the local non-profits and ministries that need the help. After each visit from Chaddah, the community is better informed, better prepared and working together with hope to end human trafficking.
What can you do to help Chaddah in the fight?
It takes significant investments for each member of Chaddah and all the support staff to travel all over the country each year.
Though the investments of time, talent and money are significant, everyone involved feels that the reward of bringing awareness to the horrors of human trafficking significantly outweigh the costs. If you would like to help us in this fight, please consider making a tax deductible donation.
You can also use this flyer to help us get the word out!
In our 2024-2025 season we will be going to Brazil where, in addition to bringing awareness to the human trafficking that is rampant there, we will also be taking water filters to help provide clean water! After the catastrophic flooding that devastated much of the country in early 2024, this is a very important ministry! For every $150 donated toward water filters, we will be able to take three filters to Brazil! Donations can be combined to reach the $150 goal!
Share the Chaddah Story
You have already started in your personal mission to fight human trafficking by making yourself more aware of the problem and visiting this site and learning about Chaddah. Now that you know that trafficking is happening everywhere and you know about Chaddah ~ something you can do that is very simple but very meaningful is to SHARE what you have learned about trafficking and SHARE about Chaddah with others. You can do that when you talk with friends and family and those in your community and share our website and videos across your social network. The more people that know about the problem and learn how to help, the more we can do together. Please SHARE.

Support Through Giving
Chaddah is an all-volunteer organization with no salaries. Our volunteer dancers, choreographers, production teams, administrators, officers and our families and friends provide all of their time and funding. Our vision is to be able to bring Chaddah to ALL the communities that tell us they have a need and invite us to come perform. Our ability to say yes and serve all of the communities that have a need completely relies on the generosity of our supporters. This is where YOU can make a HUGE difference in the lives of victims. Donations of any size help to cover the expenses associated with the productions. If your heart is motivated to help by giving, we are very grateful and appreciate any consideration.

Host a Live Performance or Virtual Event
The Chaddah Dance Company and team members also will perform a single dance or provide an educational presentation to associations or groups upon request. If your organization would like to host a conversation with Chaddah members, we are happy to visit with your group in-person or virtually if we have availability. If you are involved in groups like Rotary, churches, schools, non-profits, and other local community organizations, Chaddah would be honored to share our story with you and your group and have you join us in the fight.

Become a Chaddah Ambassador in Your Network
If the fight to end human trafficking captures your heart and you feel the conviction to serve others, help victims and give a voice to the voiceless in your community, you may want to consider the Chaddah Ambassador program. A Chaddah Ambassador is motivated and committed to learning about the issue, sharing that knowledge with others in their community and actively raise awareness and encourage others to get involved. The Chaddah team will provide information and training to equip interested people to join in the fight to end trafficking. If you want to learn more, please contact us.
Pray
None of us can do everything, but all of us can do something. One of the most important actions you can take is to pray for the victims of trafficking. Pray for their safety, their protection, their rescue and recovery. Pray for those that are around or engaged in the criminal activity of trafficking. Pray that their hearts will be rehabilitated, pray they would have a realization of the evil and turn away from it. Pray that their eyes would be opened and they would stop. Pray for justice and mercy. Pray for the organizations joined in the fight. Pray for those involved in law enforcement and in the treatment and care of victims. Pray as you feel led, but never underestimate the power of your prayers. We thank all of you who pray for Chaddah and are blessed, humbled and grateful.
