The public organisation “Save the Children” (Gelbėkit vaikus), in collaboration with ProBaltic Consulting, developed and implemented a European Social Fund project aimed at reducing the extent of human trafficking in Lithuania and strengthening its prevention.
The context
The project responded directly to the United Nations Human Rights Committee’s recommendation that Lithuania ensure sufficient measures to protect abused persons — including women and children — assess its existing anti-trafficking programmes, and pursue prevention through training for professionals and potential victims.
The project
Funded under the ESF social inclusion priority (reducing discrimination and preventing social problems), the project combined public information and education activities with prevention events and training — reaching both the professionals who encounter trafficking risks in their work and the groups most vulnerable to exploitation.
What we did
ProBaltic Consulting prepared the funding application and supported the organisation through implementation — translating an urgent social mandate into a fundable project structure with measurable prevention objectives.
Why NGO cases belong in our portfolio
EU funding is not only for factories: social-sector organisations registered in Lithuania can finance prevention and inclusion programmes at national scale. This project remains an example of how an NGO with a clear mandate and a professional application can turn international recommendations into funded, operating prevention work.
