One Act.
Endless Impact.
Captivating International's mission is to break generational chains of poverty and transform lives by empowering women, educating children, and elevating communities.
The Problem
Many girls, young women, and mothers in developing countries still face the unseen, pervasive challenges of poverty, limited access to education, or even the looming threat of online sexual abuse and human trafficking. Their voices go unheard, their dreams eclipsed by the shadows of exploitation, and their potential trapped by systemic barriers.
1.9 million Nepalis are vulnerable to human trafficking.
According to the 2022 NHRC Nepal Report, around 40,300 Nepalis, predominantly women and girls, were victims of trafficking in the last two years. They are prepared to risk everything for a better life.
20 million Filipinos live in extreme poverty.
The Philippines is ranked the #1 country in the world for cyber-sex crime against children. Desperate circumstances cause desperate choices.
Economic constraints and harsh living conditions are preventing progress.
Disadvantaged families living in mountainous regions of Western China struggle to make ends meet. Graduating senior high school is a fragile dream for many.
Be a part of the solution, protect lives, and transform futures!
Born into challenging circumstances, women and children in remote areas face immediate and desperate obstacles. Without external assistance, they remain trapped. Captivating International breaks these barriers and unleashes transformative impact with the three E’s.

Empower Women
Through our microfinance and skills development initiatives, we strive to break the chains of poverty and exploitation that hold back women and girls in vulnerable communities.



Educate Children
From scholarship initiatives to awareness campaigns, we ensure that children in high-risk communities have the knowledge and critical thinking skills needed for a brighter and safer tomorrow.

Elevate Communities
Captivating works to strengthen communities by promoting economic development, advocating for gender equality, and engaging in advocacy efforts to raise awareness about human trafficking. By addressing the underlying socio-economic factors that contribute to trafficking, we create safer and more resilient communities.

Your one act of kindness goes a long way and creates endless impact.
Basic life necessities that we take for granted represent major hurdles for 900 million people in the world. Most of them possess as much individual capability as you and I. Unfortunately, they were born into a life with few options. Let’s work together to help end their poverty.
Andrew Colquhoun, Co-Founder and CEO
