Go therefore and make disciples of all nations
Matthew 28:19
Blackbox International
Established in 2010, Blackbox International is a faith-based, Christ-centered, not-for-profit organization that exists to holistically rehabilitate formerly sex-trafficked boys and young men. Blackbox provides the critical aftercare component for male survivors of sex trafficking in order to help them find healing from their past, joy in the present, and purpose for their future. They believe these young men can be restored from the hurt and confusion that has been inflicted upon them and one day become men who will change the world.
Here are some more details in their own words:
The story must change
To protect the identity of those in our care, we will never show the full face of the boys in our homes. We use a black box to cover their eyes and protect their privacy. Behind every box that covers a face is a story and the Story Must Change.

Awareness
You know this happens to boys… right? Over 1.2 million children are trafficked each year for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Conservative estimates say, of that number, over 400,000 are boys. They are abused because of the greed of “owners” and the lust of “clients.”
Aftercare
Action
Blackbox seeks to bring healing to male survivors of sex trafficking through holistic aftercare. We provide care for boys and young men in our safe-home in the Dominican Republic and are expanding. We are learning from this first initiative and developing a model that can be reproduced globally.
Sex trafficking encompasses the range of activities involved when a trafficker uses force, fraud, or coercion to compel another person to engage in a commercial sex act or causes a child to engage in a commercial sex act. Learn about how you can bring awareness and take action against trafficking.
