What Hagar International does
Hagar International is a private, non-profit international non-governmental organization founded in 1994 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, in response to violence following the Khmer Rouge genocide. Headquartered in Camberwell, Australia, with 251-500 employees, it delivers trauma-informed Survivor Care, Prevention, and System Strengthening programs for survivors of human trafficking, slavery, and abuse through programme offices in seven Asia-Pacific countries (Cambodia, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Singapore, Myanmar, Solomon Islands, Thailand) and support offices in Australia, Hong Kong, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States, and New Zealand. The 2023 integration of LIFT International added Thailand and brought prosecutorial/restitution capabilities under one umbrella.
The organization's "whole journey of restoration" approach is delivered through three program pillars: residential Safe Homes and Community-Based Care providing counseling, medical care, legal aid, education, and economic empowerment; Prevention programs that trained 208,324 at-risk individuals in the first half of 2025 and reached 777,363 people with prevention messaging in 2023; and System Strengthening initiatives that engaged 199 partner organizations in 2023 and helped secure $85,650 in court-ordered restitution for trafficking victims. The methodology is being institutionalized through an April 2025 MOU with Cambodia's National Institute of Social Affairs to embed trauma-informed modules in the national social-service curriculum. Operations are delivered through direct programme offices where Hagar is registered, through wholly-owned support/subsidiary offices (Hagar Australia, Hagar Hong Kong, Hagar Switzerland, Hagar UK, Hagar USA, Hagar New Zealand), and via implementing partners such as YKWBA in Myanmar and HOPE Trust in Solomon Islands.
The business model is donation-funded across three streams: individual donations (one-time and monthly recurring, multi-currency portals accepting AUD, CAD, GBP, HKD, NZD, SGD, USD with suggested gift tiers of $15-$300+ tied to program outcomes), government grants (USAID and the U.S. Department of State TIP Office for Afghanistan and Cambodia — with early-2025 funding pauses reported), and corporate partnerships (notably a 13-year Boeing partnership in Vietnam that has served over 20,000 women and children). Hagar USA is a registered 501(c)(3) (EIN 20-1507669) and uses Funraise as a PCI-DSS Level 1 tokenized payment processor. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The organization is governed by an international board chaired by Peter Snowsill (appointed 2025) and led by CEO Jules Frost (appointed 7 April 2025).
