— Making an Impact.
The efforts to heal families start far before the charity…
The Story
Kevin Stewart, a seasoned and dedicated private investigator with a notable career in human trafficking cases, became renowned in Oklahoma for his unwavering commitment to justice. After handling over 20 missing person cases, Kevin was deeply moved by the exploitation families faced at the hands of corrupt private investigators seeking to profit from their grief. Recognizing this injustice, Kevin vowed never to charge families for his services, sparking a beacon of hope for those affected by human trafficking.
In 2014, Kevin translated his vision into action with his first nonprofit initiative, Worldwide Missing and Lost. This marked the beginning of Kevin’s mission to combat human trafficking and provide families with the investigative resources they desperately needed. He tirelessly traveled to raise awareness, locate families in distress, and secure funding for investigative efforts.
Driven by a passion to create meaningful change, Worldwide Missing and Lost rapidly expanded, refining its focus and broadening its impact. In June 2024, aligning with its core values of family and peace, the organization rebranded as The Kevin Stewart Foundation. This transformation solidified its commitment not only to finding missing individuals but also to supporting their journey and their families’ path to recovery, particularly those affected by human trafficking.
Today, The Kevin Stewart Foundation is guided by a profound belief in unity and restoration. We collaborate tirelessly with communities, authorities, and rehabilitation services to ensure every missing person’s story finds resolution and every survivor’s journey leads to healing.
Mission
Our mission at The Kevin Stewart Foundation is rooted in providing compassionate support to families devastated by the scourge of human trafficking. We are dedicated to offering comprehensive investigative services and rehabilitation programs that go beyond mere recovery to empower survivors and their loved ones.
We understand the profound impact of human trafficking on individuals and families alike. That’s why we strive to not only locate and reunite missing persons but also to facilitate their seamless reintegration into society. Our holistic approach includes robust advocacy efforts, educational initiatives, and extensive community outreach programs. Through these efforts, we aim to raise awareness about the complexities of human trafficking and provide vital resources to prevent future victimization.
Central to our mission is fostering healing and resilience in the face of unimaginable loss. We collaborate closely with law enforcement agencies, legal experts, and rehabilitation centers to ensure survivors receive the support they need at every stage of their recovery journey. From psychological counseling to vocational training, we offer a range of rehabilitation programs tailored to the unique needs of each survivor and their family.
At The Kevin Stewart Foundation, we believe in the power of community and solidarity. We work tirelessly to create a network of support that extends beyond immediate crises, empowering survivors to reclaim their lives with dignity and hope.

Spreading awareness about the realities of human trafficking is crucial to our mission.

Our awareness campaigns engage diverse audiences, from schools and businesses to policymakers and the media, fostering a deeper understanding of trafficking dynamics and its consequences. By amplifying survivor voices, sharing compelling stories, and providing factual resources, we empower individuals and organizations to take meaningful action. Together, we drive systemic change, advocate for policy reform, and mobilize communities to prevent trafficking, intervene effectively, and support survivors on their path to recovery.
