We Are a Child Protection & Prevention Organization
Awareness Is Prevention (AIP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting children and vulnerable individuals from online exploitation, sextortion, and human trafficking.
We focus on education, awareness, and early prevention, working with communities, schools, parents, and law enforcement to stop exploitation before it happens.
Our mission is simple but urgent:
Awareness is Prevention — and Prevention Saves Lives.
We Help Communities Turn Awareness Into Action
We educate and empower over thousands of parents, students, and professionals through prevention-based programs that address real-world threats.
Our work focuses on turning fear into knowledge, and knowledge into protection.
Recent Causes
Our Mission Brings Hope Where There Is Risk

Our Mission
To educate the public on all forms of Human Trafficking, including Sex Trafficking and Employment Trafficking. By sponsoring Events, Concerts, and Lectures we will reach the youth, who are most vulnerable, as well as their parents and protectors. AIP will also promote the sponsorship of Safehouses, Rehabilitation Centers and Special Clinics for treating traumatized victims. Training Classes will be given to both Law Enforcement as well as Civilians on how to spot trafficked victims. All Human Trafficking organizations are dedicated to Identifying, Rescuing and Protecting the victims. This begins with Awareness.
Our Vision
To expand our network of services to help other groups involved with Human Trafficking. By identifying the synergistic elements of various groups, AIP can help with events, lectures and fundraising for various groups. Through networking and affiliation with NGO’s and enforcement AIP intends to approach this problem with multi-faceted angles. AIP has contacts with all of the Honorary Consuls in Nevada where 26 countries are represented. The founder, Lena Walther, is the Honorary Consul of Sweden and she has helped rescue some Swedish Citizens who were ensnared victims in Trafficking. Other Consuls may be able to assist their citizens once they recognize the problem.
