Global Orphan Prevention is a Denver-based nonprofit operating in the philanthropic fundraising services space. It pursues its mission to prevent child abduction linked to the orphan trade and child sex trafficking through a framework it terms the 3 Es: Empowerment, Education, and Economic Development. As a 501(c)(3) organization, it focuses on prevention and family protection rather than direct service provision. The organization references UNICEF data indicating that in developing countries 85% of children in orphan homes have living parents, and that for-profit orphanages can exploit families experiencing economic hardship. It also cites UNICEF's figure that 1.2 million children are trafficked globally, with regional patterns such as Nepalese women and girls trafficked to India. A concrete development noted in its recent activity is a May 2020 partnership with Build Up Nepal to provide interlocking brick training using locally available materials for rural communities.
