Mission
Anchored in the Christian faith, CAI documents and exposes persecution of communities of faith and related human rights violations — including human trafficking, child exploitation, and gender-based violence — to advance religious freedom and improve the safety and security of at-risk populations.
End-State / Vision
- Reduced number of Christians and other vulnerable groups killed for their faith
- Oppressive forces diminished, countered, behaving in a civilized manner, or held to account
- Local environments less dangerous for believers and more conducive to liberty of faith
Core Capabilities
Ground-Truth Media
Documentary-quality reporting from non-permissive environments where mainstream media cannot or will not operate. Vetted indigenous networks and specialized access bring verified evidence of persecution to light — and place it where it can drive action.
Policy Advocacy
CAI translates field intelligence into actionable policy proposals for U.S. and allied governments, drawing on deep experience alongside diplomatic missions, intelligence agencies, and military commands.
Technical Services
Specialized operational support to aligned faith-based organizations — security assessments, network development, communications security, access planning for isolated communities, and predictive analysis of hostile-actor intentions.
What Sets CAI Apart
Direct access to volatile regions across Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia
Indigenous network development enabling ground-truth verification unavailable to conventional NGOs
Proficiency in French and Arabic with cultural expertise across nearly 80 nations — 33 in Africa alone
Sustained relationships with U.S. diplomatic missions, military commands, and intelligence structures
Operational security discipline ensuring safety of network partners and beneficiaries
Force-multiplier partnership model for aligned faith-based organizations
The Urgency
22 lives lost every day in Nigeria alone.
Over 380 million Christians worldwide face persecution simply for observing their faith. In Nigeria alone, more than 8,000 were killed in 2025. On Palm Sunday — March 29, 2026 — gunmen on motorcycles attacked Christian communities in Plateau State, gunning down 27 worshippers in cold blood.
Such attacks are routine across Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia — yet Western media rarely reports them, and U.S. policy does not meaningfully address them. CAI exists to change that.
