Kādasa

Standing against the global trafficking and exploitation of children.

The Kādasa Purpose

Kadasa is a public benefit, 501(c)(3) corporation striving to protect children from trafficking and exploitation.

We work to increase public awareness, to provide care for victims, and to collaborate with our partner organizations to help survivors recover and rebuild their lives.

Our Programs

Recreation Fencing

We are building recreation area fencing to provide protection and privacy for rescued victims at Rapha International’s Hope and Healing Center in Joplin, Missouri, creating a safe and peaceful environment for healing and recovery.

Kādasa Classic Pickleball Tournament

Our goal is to raise public awareness about the increasing issue of child trafficking and exploitation by hosting a community outreach event in the Greater Kansas City area at Chicken N Pickle, Overland Park. If you’d like to join registration for teams is open now!

Kādasa Bakery

We are exploring a bakery program designed to help trafficked victims develop essential life skills that can free them from poverty-based exploitation. This “essential care” initiative is part of a comprehensive approach to combating child trafficking. The issue extends far beyond rescuing victims; it also involves providing shelter, nutrition, counseling, education, and vocational training that empower survivors to build independent and sustainable futures. We are proud to partner with a protection center near Chiang Mai, Thailand, to bring hope, healing, and lasting change to those affected.

Kādasa Pickleball Recreation & Opportunity Center

This program is centered on helping young women transition from our partner’s protection center into independent, sustainable lives. After rescue, survivors often face limited opportunities for self-improvement, creating a heartbreaking cycle of continued vulnerability and recidivism. By teaching management and leadership skills in a supportive environment, this program will open doors to learning, meaningful employment, and financial independence.

We plan to construct a six-court, state-of-the-art pickleball facility to be managed and operated by rehabilitated survivors. This initiative will not only provide hands-on business and hospitality experience but will also foster confidence, community engagement, and long-term stability—turning a place of recreation into a platform for restoration and empowerment.

Our Mission

Kadasa is standing against the global trafficking and exploitation of children by raising awareness and by providing essential care to survivors.
