The Origin Story: Tim Ballard
Behind this extraordinary venture is Tim Ballard, a former Special Agent for the Department of Homeland Security. In 2013, Ballard and a team of former government operatives established Operation Underground Railroad. Their goal? To go to the darkest corners of the world and rescue children from sex trafficking and exploitation.
Four Bold Strategies
Operation Underground Railroad is pioneering change through four bold strategies:
Global Rescue Operations: Assisting law enforcement globally to rescue victims.
Ongoing Aftercare: Ensuring victims receive the care they need post-rescue.
Resource Allocation: Providing critical resources to law enforcement agencies.
Prevention: Offering preventative resources that benefit at-risk children worldwide.
