Letter from the Board of Directors and the President
Dear Partners, Supporters, and Friends,
As we reflect on 2025, one truth is increasingly clear: the fight against human trafficking cannot only be fought in courtrooms—it must also be advanced by expanding access to safe economic opportunities that reduce vulnerability in the first place. This year deepened our conviction that economic stability is a critical pathway to lasting freedom. When women and girls have access to safe, sustainable income and the agency to make decisions for themselves and their families, they are less likely to be trafficked.For too long, much of the global response to human trafficking has focused on the “after”—rescue and immediate crisis response. While essential, these efforts alone do not address why human trafficking happens in the first place. At Nomi Network, we remain focused on addressing economic vulnerability and agency—expanding access to safe economic opportunities so women and girls can reduce risk and build stable futures...
By creating pathways to safe and sustainable employment for women at risk and survivors of trafficking, we are working to reduce the conditions that traffickers exploit.
A Year of Deepening Impact.
In 2025, we expanded to over 42 sites across Cambodia, India, and the United States. Beyond outputs, we are seeing deeper, more sustained impact—women stepping into leadership as mentors, staff, and changemakers within their communities.- Career Integration: We placed a record number of women into high-growth industries, supporting transitions into careers with long-term potential.
- Household Stability: During the Cambodia-Thailand border conflict, our teams provided immediate support and helped women rebuild disrupted livelihoods. We are grateful to those who contributed to our crisis response.
- Resilience in Action: As pioneers in advancing the economic status of survivors and at-risk women and girls in under-resourced communities, we continue to share our approach with other nonprofits and corporations. Through our Annual Corporate Summit, UN Global Compact membership, and various publications, we’re generating a movement of resources directed towards survivors and women at risk.
- U.S. Workforce Systems: Our Dallas and Houston programs are helping identify and address gaps between trauma-informed workforce development and employer needs, strengthening our role within the broader workforce ecosystem.
The Path Forward: Prosperity as Prevention
Nomi Network was named after a young survivor in Cambodia and the small group of people who chose to walk alongside her on her path to freedom. What began as a commitment to one has grown into a global network of women and girls building their futures with dignity, stability, and opportunity.Looking ahead to 2026, we remain focused on deepening impact, strengthening our global operations, and preparing participants for the evolving future of work—so that more women and girls have the opportunity to choose safe, stable futures for themselves and their families.
Your partnership makes this possible. Together, we are expanding access to safe economic opportunity—so that what started with one girl can reach thousands more, and the cycle of vulnerability can be replaced with a future defined by choice, stability, and freedom.
With gratitude and hope,
Diana Mao Kelly, President & Co-Founder
Scott Austin, Board of Directors Chair
