A Letter from our President Diana Mao Kelly.
Dear Solidarity Partner,
When my co-founders, Supei Liu, Alissa Moore, and I set out to build a support network to ensure that every woman and girl could reach her full potential, we never could have imagined where we are today.This year is Nomi Network’s 15th anniversary. Your unwavering support allows us to mark this important milestone in our journey of advancing the economic status of women and girls to stop the exploitative cycles of human trafficking. Thank you for being the network that makes all of it possible. ...
According to the NASDAQ 2024 Global Financial Crime Report, the human trafficking industry has grown to a staggering $346.7 billion. Advanced technologies, such as AI, are yet another tool of criminal networks that entrap millions of women and girls globally at an alarming rate. Our work is more critical than ever in the fight against human trafficking.
While challenges lie ahead, Nomi Network remains focused on strengthening vulnerable communities to recognize trafficking and build economic resilience. We continue to provide economic opportunities for survivors while investing in their social and economic well-being, helping them break generational cycles of poverty and exploitation.
In 2024, we have much to celebrate.
- Women are advancing. In 2024, 4,093 individual women and girls gained skills, secured jobs, or built businesses, generating income and opportunities for themselves and their families. In Cambodia, I met Mara, who is free from the threat of cross-border trafficking due to her new economic strength.
- Women are part of a strong, local network of trained and equipped staff. During my listening tour, I met Dara, a colleague in Cambodia who joined Nomi Network nearly a decade ago. Despite her quitting school in 3rd grade due to generational poverty, she showed strong potential. She was referred to Nomi Network through a local partner to join our maintenance staff. Through our staff professional development program, she has learned to read, write, and use computer programs. I am so proud that she is our office manager in Cambodia today. We remain deeply committed to investing in our local and frontline staff, nurturing their skills and passion to serve their communities.
- We are advancing the message of women’s economic empowerment to end trafficking. 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.
We look forward to the next 15 years and beyond as we celebrate our fifteen-year milestone. Let us celebrate the strength, resilience, and ongoing journey of these women and girls toward economic advancement together.
In solidarity and light,
Diana Mao
