Dear Friend,

Violent conflicts claim millions of lives every year. Wartime atrocities force countless families to flee their homes. Meanwhile, corrupt officials and war profiteers thrive in the chaos, secretly amassing untold wealth at the expense of those they claim to serve. This December, shocking footage from Syria juxtaposed torture chambers at Sednaya prison with luxury goods in Bashar al-Assad’s presidential palace—a stark reminder of the injustices we fight to expose. 
 
At The Sentry, we follow the money to uncover the corruption fueling violence and repression. Our work doesn’t just expose such crimes; it drives targeted action to cut off the funds that fuel harm. 

I am proud to share our 2024 Impact Report, highlighting
our key impacts from this year:

• Exposed a $13 billion global business empire controlled by the daughters of Azerbaijan’s president
• Uncovered suspicious business ventures linked to Zimbabwe’s secret police
• Revealed deadly infrastructure corruption in Libya
• Partnered with Justice for Myanmar to halt jet fuel supplies to Myanmar’s military junta
• Produced intelligence that led to sanctions against the Congolese rebel group M23, the Wagner Group’s corporate network, and key figures behind Sudan’s bloody civil war

None of this work would be possible without supporters like you, Friend. And right now, your gift can go twice as far.

Through midnight on New Year’s Eve, a generous group of donors is matching every contribution, dollar for dollar. This means that your support will have double the impact, enabling The Sentry to innovate, forge new partnerships, and scale our programs in the year ahead. 
 
I am so grateful for your support and commitment. 
 
Season’s Greetings,
 
Bonnie Abaunza
Board Chair
