Our Story
The Préscha Initiative is one of New Zealand’s long-standing anti-human trafficking organisations.
Founded in 2010 by a group of friends at University who were compelled to take a stand against human trafficking, all of its work has been carried out by volunteers who have other full time jobs. The Préscha Charitable Trust is a registered charity governed by a board of trustees.
The Préscha Initiative was a founding member of, and until recently chaired, New Zealand’s Human Trafficking Research Coalition.
