Destiny Rescue finds and rescues children who have been sexually exploited in South Africa by canvassing high-risk communities. Post-rescue, survivors enroll in our care to begin moving past the trauma they’ve endured and become equipped for a life of sustainable freedom through our economic empowerment programming.
From a country where opportunity often feels out of reach, a group of extraordinary young women has proven that determination, support, and education can change lives. These girls, many of whom faced poverty, family responsibilities, gender-based challenges and limited access to resources, are now proud graduates—empowered, confident and ready to take on the world. Thank you, Destiny Rescue team, for this amazing work.”

Our work in South Africa
Rescue from survival situations
Rescue agents connect with children suffering sexual exploitation to keep themselves and their families from starvation. After building trust, agents help them safely exit that life of exploitation. Our teams also rescue and care for child survivors of sexual abuse and other related crimes.
Enrollment in Community Care post-rescue
Survivors work with their caseworker to secure a safe living situation if needed. Survivors also attend regular classes taught by our staff in post-rescue training to help them move past the trauma they’ve endured and equip themselves for a future of sustainable freedom. While attending classes, survivors receive meals and monthly food packs as they work toward economic security, alleviating a great deal of the financial burden that initially drove them into exploitation.
Economic empowerment programming
Vocational training empowers survivors to pursue safe jobs that help support them and their families.
A life of sustainable freedom in their community
Stepping into a life of freedom and independence is the ultimate victory! Our staff works with children toward a sustainable life of freedom.
Partnership makes freedom possible
We have a formal partnership with an organisation in South Africa dedicated to assisting vulnerable children within their communities. Destiny Rescue fully funds and executes all rescue operations and rescue strategy, post-rescue programming structure and direction for all survivors alongside our partner in South Africa.
