About Marici

Marici is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 82-1536804) based in San Francisco, California. Our mission is to engineer the global collapse of child sex trafficking by merging AI, criminology, and behavioral science. We deploy 350+ interdisciplinary operatives — intelligence collectors, AI engineers, criminologists, prosecutors, community mobilizers, and survivor care specialists — in a single coordinated system across every city we enter.

Marici deploys a five-phase system: (1) AI-powered intelligence collection — undercover operatives map criminal networks using leading intelligence analysis software; (2) coordinated network disruption — strategic raids with law enforcement; (3) legal prosecution — our legal team pursues property attachment and creates precedent-setting case law; (4) community mobilisation — a psyops engine and grassroots coalitions make trafficking economically unsustainable; (5) survivor aftercare — trauma-informed healing using Trauma Resolution Treatment, neurofeedback, education, and vocational training.

Marici has freed over 105,000 children, neutralized over 1,700 criminal networks, and achieved over 90% reduction in child sex trafficking across six major interconnected cities — shutting down what was the second-largest system of child sex slavery on Earth. These results have been achieved through intelligence-driven operations across South and Southeast Asia.

Yes. Marici is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with EIN 82-1536804, incorporated in San Francisco, California.

All donations are tax-deductible.

Marici operates primarily in Asia — the region accounting for over 70% of the world's child sex trafficking victims. We have collapsed the trafficking industry in six major cities across South and Southeast Asia and are expanding to additional hotspot regions. Our five-year goal is to operate in 41 hotspots, achieving a major regional reduction, then scaling globally.

Marici deploys over 50 AI tools including: an AI Intelligence Analyst that processes thousands of signals to build trafficking network maps; an AI Prosecutor trained on case law across multiple jurisdictions; an AI Behavioral Scientist that builds psychological profiles for behaviorally-informed programmes; and a hotspot detection tool that identifies, categorizes, and predicts criminal network activity in cities. Marici is building the world's first 'full-stack' AI nonprofit purpose-built to solve a global crisis.

Hotspot mapping is Marici's methodology for identifying concentrated areas of child sex trafficking activity within a city. Over 80% of trafficking concentrates in 20% of places. Marici's AI-powered hotspot detection tool categorizes hotspot types, predicts the number of criminal networks and victims present, and identifies high-risk locations — enabling precise, high-impact deployment of resources.

Marici is funded by individual donors, philanthropy organizations, and corporate partners. All donations are tax-deductible under Section 501(c)(3) of the US Internal Revenue Code. We file annual Form 990 returns with the IRS, publicly available through GuideStar and Charity Navigator.
