The Challenge
People Want to Help. They Just Don't Know How.
After years of fighting human trafficking, we've learned two things: people are heartbroken over what happens to trafficking's victims — and most don't know how to actually get involved. Chaddah meets that gap head-on.
Encounters of Hope
We take the Encounters of Hope program into communities nationwide: a free event that draws large, diverse crowds and does two things at once — teaches them how to recognize and protect against trafficking, and moves them to act.
Real stories, dramatically told, do what statistics can't: they stir hearts toward action.
That's why our audiences don't just watch and leave. Every event ends in the lobby, where hundreds of newly activated advocates connect immediately with local organizations already fighting trafficking in their own community.
Every performance of Encounters of Hope creates hundreds of new advocates in the fight against trafficking — and strengthens the local nonprofits and ministries doing that work every day.
After every visit, the community is left better informed, better prepared, and working together — with hope — to end human trafficking.
What can you do to help Chaddah in the fight?
Every year, sending Chaddah's dancers and support staff across the country takes a significant investment of time, talent, and money. Everyone involved believes the reward — waking people up to the horrors of human trafficking — is worth every bit of it. If you'd like to join the fight, here's how:
Ways to help right now (pulled out as a short scannable list — these are three parallel actions buried in one sentence in the original; nothing new to build, just un-bury them):

In the 2024–2025 season, we traveled to Brazil to raise awareness of trafficking there — and to help meet an urgent need. After catastrophic flooding devastated communities in Rio Grande do Sul in early 2024, clean water became scarce for many families. Our goal was to deliver 200 water filters.
Thanks to generous donors, we delivered 385 water filters to Brazil — nearly double our goal.
For our 2026-2027 season we will tour the United Stats and Peru, we're planning to provide water filters again.
Every $150 donated — gifts can be combined to reach it — provides 3 filters through our partnership with AHNMART.
Every gift helps provide clean water to families in Peru and helps Chaddah fight human trafficking, at the same time. Please consider giving to help with this important ministry.
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. Please click here to make a donation.
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.

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.
