9 Stephanie Lorenzo,

31, NSW. FOUNDER, PROJECT FUTURES. Ten years ago, Stephanie was cycling through Cambodia when she read the harrowing account of a young woman sold into prostitution as a child. “When you have the power to do something, how can you say no?” says Stephanie. Project Futures was started in 2009 to take action against human trafficking. The scholarship would enable Project Futures to partner with other international organisations to take on more anti-human trafficking projects across the Asia-Pacific region.
