$20.00/hour LifeWay Network is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that joins the global movement against human trafficking by providing safe housing for women who have been trafficked and offering education to stakeholders on the issue. LifeWay Network (LWN) envisions a world in which human trafficking is eradicated and every survivor is strong, connected, and free.
