We have assisted in the rescue of over 1,800 women and children since our inception. Breaking Chains also recruits, trains and sends missionaries to Latin America, who conduct field work, and who assist in discovering women and children that are victims of trafficking and sexual exploitation. In addition, the ministry proactively raises awareness of the plight of human trafficking through speaking engagements, events and other activities. 60104 Aftercare: Breaking Chains works to bring healing, deliverance, and restoration to victims of human trafficking and prostitution. For this purpose, we have developed a specialized aftercare model. Acting as a mission sending organization, Breaking Chains works to recruit missionaries to work directly with victims. We also developed a day program to disciple adult victims of trafficking and sexual exploitation. The program, when implemented in Central America, had a demonstrated 65% success rate, and brought transformation to entire families torn apart by sexual abuse and exploitation. Graduates of our day program have proven very effective in identifying and reaching out to other trafficking victims, thereby increasing our impact. 179793 true true false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 false 0 false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 5 4 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false CA X Jill Folsom 6197526325 12806 ABRA PLACE San Diego CA 92128 STEVEN T CASS President 70.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JILL W FOLSOM Secretary 15.00 0.00 X X 1500 0 0 MARK WALLIS Chairman 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES SILVA Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARILYN ALBANESE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 1500 0 false false false 0 264589 264589 0 0 0 390 390 0 15500 9585 5915 5915 5915 0 0 0 0 270894 5915 390 0 0 0 0 3500 3500 0 0 0 0 0 0 249 249 0 0 0 0 0 779 779 903 190 582 131 229 229 0 0 25593 23656 580 1357 0 0 0 0 4780 4780 0 INVESTIGATION FIELD OPERATIONS 74155 74155 CARE FOR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS 33307 33307 RESCUE/RESTORATION CENTER 23811 23811 SPEAKING EVENTS & AWARENESS 5938 5938 18930 13478 5452 192174 179793 10114 2267 15069 92848 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3867 13920 4019 12827 9901 0 0 30000 30000 0 0 57896 136616 0 0 X 57896 136616 57896 136616 57896 136616 78720 X false false false X 121854 131083 191165 159080 264589 867771 0 0 121854 131083 191165 159080 264589 867771 343498 524273 187 518 390 1095 0 0 868866 5763 0.60340 0.62070 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 13920 4019 9901 9901 30000 SOUTH AMERICA 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES-RESCUE TRAFFICKING INVESTIGATIONS 55964 NORTH AMERICA (MEXICO) 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES-AFTERCARE VICTIM RESTORATION 500 CENTRAL AMERICA 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES-RESCUE TRAFFICKING INVESTIGATIONS 55732 CENTRAL AMERICA 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES-AFTERCARE RESTORATION-DAY PROGRAM 55601 167797 167797 false false false false false false Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process All board members received an electronic copy of the 990 for review and approval prior to filing.
