Hagar is fortunate to have supporters and partners all over the United States and Canada. Last week, members of our international team visited Washington, D.C. and New York City to deepen relationships with key stakeholders, partners, and supporters.
Beginning in the US capital, the team hit the ground running with a series of meetings with partner organizations, prospective supporters, and policy makers.
One of the key events in D.C. was our meeting with Rep. Jeff Jackson’s office, to increase awareness about Hagar’s work in Afghanistan. This insightful session allowed us to share our experiences, hear about the strategic areas Congress is focusing on this year, and discuss ways to lasting change.
Throughout our visit, we prioritized engaging with partner organizations invested in fighting human trafficking and modern slavery. In D.C., we met with Winrock International, Free the Slaves, and Innovations for Poverty Action to discuss possible future collaborations.
In New York City, we met with several organizations, foundations and corporations to exchange ideas and forge new connections.
As we look back on our time in D.C. and New York, we are filled with gratitude for the warm welcome, support, and encouragement we received. The relationships we deepened and the new connections we made have invigorated our team. We are excited to build on the progress made during this visit and continue working towards a world where every individual has the opportunity to thrive.
If you’re inspired by our journey and would like to learn more about our work or explore potential collaborations, please reach out to us at usa@hagarusa.org. We’d be delighted to hear from you and discuss how we can work together to prevent human trafficking and help survivors heal and rebuild their lives.
