Target Scam-Centres, End Forced-Labour
💔 The Greater Mekong is a major hotspot for scam centres and forced labour. Across border towns and special economic zones, innocent people are exploited, trafficked, and trapped, with transnational criminal organisations using Thailand as a trusted transit corridor for human-trafficking and modern day slavery.
- over 250,000 people in forced labour conditions across the region
- over 40 billion USD annually generated from these syndicates
🌏 The Vanguard Project is an independent, mission-driven NGO on the frontlines against forced labour in the Greater Mekong region. We combine intelligence operations, multi-tier donor support, and advanced financial tracing - from traditional banking to blockchain networks - partnering with governments and humanitarian allies. These full-stack resources are transformed into direct rescue, recovery, and repatriation operations, turning funding and intelligence into real-world impact.
💪 Our cross-border work delivers results, freeing victims, disrupting criminal networks, and strengthening local law enforcement and regional NGOs along the way. We exist to end forced labour in scam centres across the Greater Mekong - success is measured by lives restored and freedom defended.
⛓️💥 Supported by top-tier financial institutions and industry leading blockchain networks, Vanguard leverages the very rails criminals exploit - from banking to crypto - to fund rescue and repatriation operations. We publish in-depth reports, call out bad actors and challenge complacency around illicit financial flows, driving systemic change at the heart of financial institutions and payment technology platforms.
💡 Why Vanguard - why now: With deep experience delivering international development grants in high-risk, politically complex regions, Vanguard is built to act where others can’t. Our dynamic, sustainable funding model - tapping both traditional and blockchain donors - ensures long-term, resilient operations beyond the pilot program. As forced labour and exploitation surge across the Greater Mekong, donors have a rare opportunity to directly be part of the solution, funding frontline operations that create measurable, life-saving impact.
