Give Freedom International

What Give Freedom International does

Give Freedom International is an Australian-registered not-for-profit charity headquartered in Newcastle, New South Wales, that raises donations from individual supporters to fund anti-human-trafficking programs in Nepal through a sole Field Partner, 3 Angels Nepal. Its central initiative is The Pokhara Project, a sustainable building development on approximately 70 Ropani (~9 acres) along the Seti River at the foothills of the Annapurna Ranges, acquired in stages between 2015 and 2019. The Pokhara Project comprises a self-funding school, a women's safe haven (capacity ~40), vulnerable children's homes (Viśvāsa, Śakti, Āśā, Māyā Houses), a community medical centre, vocational training facilities (tailoring, bakery, hair and beauty), WASH infrastructure, and 24-hour security and protection services.

The technical differentiator in its built assets is a passive solar and earthquake-resistant architectural design developed in 2018 with John Sanday Associates (Kathmandu), award-winning architect Angus Crowe, and True North Architects (Central Coast, Australia), incorporating deciduous vegetated screens, natural cross-ventilation, thermal buoyancy night-purge, seasonally tuned thermal mass, and reinforced steel-and-wood foundations. Electrical, sanitation, and hydrological design was completed in March 2020.

Give Freedom International operates on a 100% Giving Model, under which 100% of donor contributions are routed directly to field operations while overhead is covered by a separate foundation. It runs with roughly five staff from Australia and is supported by a network of small Australian corporate sponsors including Hall and Wilcox, Graph, Mayah Clinic, Newcastle Ultrasound, Educare, True North Architects, Brooke Art Studio, and the Australian Guitar Making School. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer digital fundraising—website (givefreedom.org.au), email newsletter, Facebook, and Instagram—anchored by survivor testimony content ("Untold Stories" featuring Rita, Mira, Gautam, Hasri, Feba, Raju, Neha, Monorohi) and time-sensitive capital appeals such as the June 30 Pokhara Project school buildings campaign (AUD 1.5 million raised against an AUD 800,000 remaining gap). The organization is PCI DSS-compliant for payment processing and aligned with Australian Privacy Principles and GDPR/CCPA-equivalent privacy practices.
