Empowering communities to disrupt the cycle of human trafficking through awareness and prevention educational programs.

关于我们

Paving the Way Foundations mission is to empower communities to end child trafficking and exploitation through powerful, engaging awareness and educational programs. Why? Well according to NCMEC (National Center for Missing and Exploited Children) there were are millions of Child Sexual Abuse Materials cyber tips reported every year. Human trafficking and online child exploitation is one of the most egregious crimes to humanity. It can be hard to comprehend. We understand. It leaves most people asking, who am I to do anything about this tragedy? More importantly, what can I do? Sadly, our children are more at risk than ever. With the ever changing school environment, our kids are spending more time online, leaving them vulnerable. In fact - the average age of enticement is 10-13 years old. Take a breath. There is good news. YOU! and us. YOU can do something about it by educating yourself an those around you. That's why we are here, so you don't have to navigate this alone. Educate. Empower. Prevent. That's our goal Paving The Way Foundation has educated over 25,000 youth, parents, teachers, and community leaders about exploitation and trafficking, the impact it has on families, our communities and the actions to take to prevent it. We invite you to partner with us to disrupt the cycle and keep our children safe. Invite us to come educate and empower your students, parents, youth leaders and the faith based community. Together, we can make a difference and end child exploitation.

    Empowering communities through education is key to preventing child exploitation and trafficking. By learning the warning signs, understanding traffickers' tactics, and knowing how to report safely, individuals and families can take proactive steps to protect themselves and others. Together, we can build a safer, more informed society where children grow up free from exploitation. #NationalEducationWeek #PTWF #Empower #Protect #Educate Our Website: https://lght.ly/5h3h1mg Parent Tool Kit: https://lght.ly/640lg60

    Promoting Safe Online Practices for Our Children ???? Just as we teach children to cross the street safely, we must guide them through the digital world with the same level of care and attention. Safe online behavior begins with open dialogue, clear boundaries, and leading by example. Children are observant—they learn from what we do, not just what we say. By demonstrating secure online habits ourselves, such as safeguarding personal information and being mindful of our screen time, we set a powerful example. Creating a culture of online safety goes beyond simply avoiding risks; it's about fostering a healthy relationship with technology. It's essential to have ongoing conversations about privacy, the importance of not sharing personal details, and the risks of interacting with strangers online. Teach children to think critically before they click or post and encourage them to use technology for positive, educational purposes that promote creativity and learning. In addition, exploring devices like Gabb or Bark phones can be an excellent way to ensure a safer digital experience for kids. These phones come with built-in safety features, parental controls, and screen-time management, while excluding internet access, social media, and gaming. They also offer additional protection by blocking spam calls and harmful messages. At Paving the Way Foundation, we focus on educating families about the dangers presented by the Internet and social media. Children are especially susceptible to exploitation through their ignorance. By teaching them about safe online practices, we are empowering them to make smart decisions in the future that will help to keep them safe. Let's work together to help our children make smart choices online, safeguard their privacy, and trust their instincts. The digital world offers immense opportunities, but it's our responsibility to ensure they navigate it safely and securely. ???

    ???? Lead by Example ???? True strength lies in the ability to empower the next generation. As professionals and role models, we have the privilege—and the responsibility—to shape young minds by demonstrating that kindness, perseverance, and confidence are the true superpowers. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being present, setting the right example, and lifting them up when they need it most. Being intentional in our interactions with children creates an environment where they feel safe to learn, grow, and thrive. ?? Children are incredibly impressionable, and they often look to the adults in their lives for guidance. Leading by example goes beyond giving advice—it’s about showing them through our actions and words. Whether we’re navigating challenges with resilience, showing empathy, or standing up for what is right, we are teaching the next generation how to do the same. At Paving the Way Foundation, we work to educate others about the dangers of social media and teach online safety. Children are especially vulnerable to exploitation, making it crucial to empower them through strong leadership and affirmation. By leading with integrity and compassion, we help ensure their safety and well-being in an increasingly connected world. The most powerful way to guide young hearts and minds is to embody the values we want them to adopt. Let’s teach our kids to dream big, believe in themselves, and always treat others with respect. The future starts with us. ????

    In honor of National Education Week, it's important to highlight the vital role education plays in combating child exploitation and trafficking. By raising awareness, we equip students, educators, and parents with the knowledge to identify risks, recognize warning signs, and take protective measures. Education empowers individuals to report suspicious activities and prevent exploitation before it starts. An educated community is a safer community, one that can spot the signs and take action early. Through education, we can break the cycle of trafficking and exploitation, creating stronger, more resilient communities. Let’s continue to prioritize education as a key tool in this fight! #NationalEducationWeek #PTWF #Empower #Protect #Educate Our Website: https://lght.ly/ck5e48 Parent Tool Kit: https://lght.ly/dja51m8

    Scammers are leveraging AI to mimic voices and manipulate individuals into sending money—it's more important than ever to stay ahead of these threats. Did you know it only takes 4 seconds of your voice to create a convincing scam? This Fraud Awareness Week, let's focus on practical steps to protect ourselves and our networks. -Create a Safe Word: Establish a secret word or phrase with your close contacts that only you would know. If anyone calls asking for money or sensitive information, use the safe word to verify their identity before acting. Make it unique to your circle. -Watch for Fake Calls: If you receive an unexpected request for money or personal details, always verify through a trusted communication channel. Don't be fooled by a familiar voice—ask for the pre-agreed safe word. -Protect Your Privacy: Scammers are increasingly using personal details found online to make their calls more convincing. Limit oversharing and remove videos of you speaking—just 4 seconds of your voice can be used against you or your loved ones. By staying informed and taking simple precautions, we can outsmart even the most sophisticated AI scams. Let’s protect our professional and personal networks! #FraudAwareness #PTWF #Empower #Educate #Protect Our Website: https://lght.ly/5ej9el0

    It's been an exciting few months at Paving the Way Foundation! We've been hard at work promoting online safety and engaging with our community at a variety of events. Here's a snapshot of what we've been up to: ?? Spooktacular Event at Avalon Park: We had a fantastic time connecting with families, handing out treats, and sharing key online safety tips. ?? 13th Annual Walkathon: Partnering with the Help Keep Kids Off the Street Walkathon, we highlighted the importance of safe spaces and responsible internet use. ?? Octoberfest: At this vibrant festival, we shared resources on internet safety and fostering healthy interactions, while engaging with parents and kids alike. At every event we like to do interactive games like Jenga! Our unique Jenga set is loaded with questions about general and online safety, human traffikcing and exploitation. The purpose is to get these conversations started between kids and their parents, siblings, or friends. These events have helped strengthen our community and raise awareness about online safety. A big thank you to our community partners for having us at these incredible events! ???? #CommunityAwareness #Empower #Educate #Prevent #PTWF Our Website: https://lght.ly/80mg599 Parent Tool Kit: https://lght.ly/5103pe9
