  3. Establish a center for social integration to provide counseling and support to people in difficulty in order to give them back to the society as responsible citizens
  4. To promote fair play and team spirit through sport activities
  5. Provide access to and support for quality education for children from disadvantaged families

Most recently Value Plus has delivered truckloads of food, medical supplies and other essential items directly to Ukrainian communities as the war rages on.

The Value Plus Association developed an anti-human trafficking initiative called Stay Free in order to curb the ongoing abuse of human beings. The focus of Stay Free is to prevent human trafficking before it starts. They train volunteers who partner with local schools to raise awareness about the vulnerabilities that human traffickers use to prey on young people (mostly women and girls). This past year they educated over 16,000 students in 135 partner schools as well as hosted two “Keep Your Freedom” conferences where 1250 volunteers were inspired and equipped to provide education and support groups for the Stay Free initiative.

The directors of the Value Plus Association are Marian and Estera Paduret. Ryan and Wendy Howell were founding board members. Crossroads has donated over $20K in the past two years to support the ongoing impact of Value Plus.
