History
Since 2005 the ministries of AIM have focused on ending the evil of child sexual slavery in Cambodia. Our projects prevent, rescue, restore and reintegrate. In September 2007, AIM opened a community center, Rahab’s House, in a former brothel in the heart of a village where sex slavery is the norm for every girl by the age of 10. AIM now has over 12 projects on the ground that impact over 10,000 people a year.
