Anti-trafficking Compliance Internship

**About Us**:Love Justice International (LJI) is a Christian nonprofit organization compelled by God’s love to fight the world’s greatest injustices. We fight injustice in two primary ways: through our expanding anti-human trafficking work and by caring for orphaned and abandoned children. We currently work throughout Asia and Africa.

: Full Time (Internship); Support-Raised*; Overseas (South Africa)

*If hired, the intern will be required to raise financial support to cover all expenses related to the internship including housing, transportation, food, and other relevant costs. Raising support is a key example of the body of Christ supporting its members and joining in the fight against injustice. LJI will provide administrative and prayer support throughout the process, as well as guidance and resources to build up a support base.

: LJI's anti-human trafficking model focuses on transit monitoring. We identify, intercept, and assist trafficking victims as they are being transported—when victims and traffickers are the most visible and open to detection—and before they reach the destination where victims will be sold, hidden, and abused. Because the crime of trafficking has already commenced, we have access to actionable intelligence which can be used to assist police in the apprehension of suspects and to better understand trafficking methods. To date, we have intercepted over 50,000 individuals to prevent them from being trafficked. More than 1,300 arrests have stemmed from our anti-trafficking work with 32% of closed cases resulting in convictions.

To ensure excellence among our field offices in Asia and Africa, Love Justice has developed more than 30 "core processes" to implement in each office to monitor performance and compliance. These processes involve a variety of different areas, such as budgeting and financial reporting, administration and human resources, data collection and compliance, security audit and investigations, shelter care, and legal cases.

Each month and on average, national staff collect and enter data from over 1000 intercepts. We are looking for interns to join our team and help us consistently and systematically compare source data documents collected from the field (usually copies of paper forms) to data that is entered into our database, Searchlight, and identify errors and ensure quality data entry in addition to assisting in other compliance related projects.
