Bio/Overview:

For the past 25 years, Lana Vasquez and the Life Impact International team have been fighting child trafficking on the Thailand/Burma Border, and more recently, in Brazil. She believes she was rescued to rescue others.

Life Impact’s vision is to protect the vulnerable, fight for the exploited, and change the world one life at a time. Our mission is to prevent, rescue, and heal. Our way is to reach, rescue, and raise up vulnerable and exploited children.

It all started when Lana rescued an 8-year-old girl for $24. Now, Life Impact has around 100 children in 17 family-style safe homes in Thailand, the war zone of Burma (Myanmar), and, most recently, the very first safe home in Brazil’s interior, while also reaching thousands of children and families daily through prevention projects.
