Imagine a world where every child can grow up safe, loved, and empowered regardless of their circumstances. A world free from the horrors of child trafficking, pedophilia, and exploitation. At Marianco, we're committed to making this vision a reality. We're building a future where vulnerable children are protected, their dignity restored, and their stories rewritten.
Inspired by the life of Francisco Padilla, a former street orphan, Marianco is a passionate non-profit organization dedicated to combating child trafficking, prostitution, and pornography. We provide comprehensive support to vulnerable children, including shelter, education, healthcare, and counseling. Our team of dedicated professionals works tirelessly to protect children, prevent exploitation, and empower survivors. By raising awareness, advocating for policy change, and building strong communities, we strive to create a world where every child is safe and has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Child trafficking, pedophilia, and related forms of exploitation remain some of the most pressing issues facing the world today. These violations strip millions of children of their rights, safety, and dignity, leaving long-lasting scars on their lives and communities.
According to UNICEF, nearly 1.2 million children are trafficked globally each year, forced into labor, prostitution, and other forms of abuse. Alarming figures from the International Labour Organization reveal that 1 in 4 victims of modern slavery is a child. Many are exploited in silence, their suffering hidden from public view and justice systems.
Pedophilia and child pornography also continue to rise, fueled by the dark web and insufficient protective mechanisms. For example, INTERPOL has reported a sharp increase in cases of online child exploitation, with offenders targeting younger and more vulnerable victims.
These numbers represent real children, each with a story of lost innocence and stolen futures. Marianco recognizes the urgency of addressing this crisis and is committed to disrupting these cycles of exploitation. By raising awareness, advocating for stricter laws, and creating prevention and rehabilitation programs, we aim to protect children from harm and offer them the chance to heal and thrive.
Together, we can break the silence, fight the systems that enable exploitation, and ensure every child grows up free from abuse and fear.
At Marianco, our mission to protect vulnerable children and combat exploitation is fueled by a clear vision and carefully outlined goals. As a start-up non-profit, we are laying a strong foundation to drive meaningful and sustainable change.
Raise Awareness: Launch targeted campaigns to educate the public about the realities of child trafficking, pedophilia, and related issues.

As part of our early efforts, Marianco is preparing to launch an advocacy campaign aimed at educating communities about child trafficking and how to prevent it. This initiative will empower individuals with knowledge, equipping them to identify and address signs of exploitation in their local areas.
While the journey ahead is ambitious, we are steadfast in our belief that every child deserves a life free from harm. With your support, we can turn these plans into reality and create a world where children are safe, valued, and empowered to thrive.

Online gaming platforms have become a significant avenue for child sexual exploitation, with predators using in-game communication features, virtual gifts, and mentorship tactics to groom children in as little as 19 seconds, making parental awareness and active engagement in gaming crucial for protection.
Child sexual exploitation can be prevented through education, vigilance, and strong legal action. Key steps include teaching children body safety, monitoring online activity, reporting abuse, and supporting survivors. Community awareness and trained professionals are essential to detect and stop exploitation early.
