About me:
The HOME Foundation exists to fight the horrors of human trafficking and the sex trade, raise awareness, and to assist in the rescue and restoration of human beings in crisis, both in the United States and around the world.
After an episode of Law and Order awakened Natalie Grant to the real-life, ongoing tragedy of Human Trafficking, she threw herself into a deeper research on the issue. What she found disturbed her so greatly, that Natalie knew she would use her music and platform to fight for these helpless victims – precious souls without a voice.
Over this past year, Natalie has had the opportunity to be involved in various missions and charity organizations that deal with the sexual exploitation of children. Recently, inspired by her trip to India with Shared Hope International, Natalie has founded the HOME Foundation. Natalie Grant founded the HOME Foundation with one goal in mind: To help those who may not otherwise be helped. She has been to the red-light district of Mumbai/Bombay and has seen first hand the horrific reality of the issue. But she also saw the tremendous efforts being made to rescue these victims, some as young as 6 years of age. In partnership with Bombay Teen Challenge, the HOME Foundation plans to raise enough money to build a medical facility for the Village at Ashagram, a place devoted to the healing and rehabilitation of girls and boys illegally forced into the sex trade.
The HOME Foundation most recently helped Bombay Teen Challenge complete the building of "Jubilee" - a new orphanage in Mumbai that houses 200 orphaned children whose mothers, many of which were victims of human trafficking, died of AIDS. Currently, The Home Foundation is raising funds with a two-fold purpose: to build a much needed medical infirmary for Bombay Teen Challenge at their Village of Hope outside of Mumbai, India and also to support the work of The International Justice Mission as they continue to seek justice.

Natalie will also use her platform to raise awareness about this growing “American” trade. Through radio, television, and her concert appearances, she will make materials available to spread the word about the slavery that is taking place in towns all across the United States.
Over 10 million people are victims of human trafficking.
No country is immune from human trafficking. Each year, an estimated 600,000-800,000 women and children are trafficked across international borders.
Sex traffickers use a variety of methods to “condition” their victims including starvation, confinement, beatings, physical abuse, rape, gang rape, threats of violence to the victims and the victims’ families, forced drug use and the threat of shaming their victims by revealing their activities to their family and their families’ friends.
Slavery still exists. But you can make a difference.
