Global Orphan Prevention

What Global Orphan Prevention does

Global Orphan Prevention is a Denver-headquartered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 45-4074515) founded by Katie Hilborn that works to prevent the trafficking of children for purposes of orphan exploitation and sexual exploitation in Nepal and India. Its programming is organized around three pillars — Education, Empowerment, and Economic Development — and is delivered through Learning Centers and dormitories (one operational in Ghyangphedi, Nepal), leadership training curricula delivered with local schools, social enterprise and micro-loan programs administered with partner Nepal banks, job creation via brick-making enterprises, self-defense workshops (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu), and data-sharing partnerships with international rescue organizations that have located 7 Nepali girls in Indian brothels. The organization has a small operating team of 5 employees supported by a specialized board.

The organization's revenue model is diversified across four streams: one-time and recurring monthly donations (preset tiers of $25, $50, $100, and $250 with custom amounts up to $100,000), a Shopify-powered Charity Shop selling jewelry, accessories, bags, and lifestyle products priced $8-$50 with 100% of profits directed to mission programs, the annual Northstar 2 Freedom Gala featuring auctions, paddle raises, and tiered sponsorships, and community-led crowdfunding via Facebook fundraisers and personal challenges. Distribution and marketing rely on the organization's website, blog, email newsletter, organic social media, AmazonSmile and eBay charity integrations, and event-based outreach. A sister organization, Compass Rose International, was founded in 2021 by the same founder to extend the methodology to American youth. No revenue figures, technology platform, or AI capabilities are disclosed.
