Newest pilot project celebrates its first 5 rescues!


Four children, ages 13-16, have been rescued from sexual exploitation and abuse in our newest project in Africa. The seven-year-old sibling of one survivor was rescued preemptively.

All five children have joined our community care program. They will receive individualized freedom plans, health checks and counseling as they begin their path to freedom.

New projects start in a pilot phase, allowing us to take the first steps of rescue, learn more about the dynamics of sexual exploitation in the region and adapt our programs to the specific needs of survivors.

This new project is located on the edge of a slum in a large city and is staffed by local professionals ready to find and rescue children from the darkest of circumstances. We are incredibly honored to be able to rescue children in this new region and continue alongside them on their journey to stay free over the next months.

Nearly three quarters of the victims met their traffickers online, mostly on Facebook. The criminals built relationships with their targets and then, after figuring out their needs, offered them romantic relationships, false jobs or even trips to see relatives that lived across the border. Thanks to our border agents, these people will never see what REALLY awaited them on the other side.

All were enduring sexual exploitation just to survive. Only three were able to attend school; the rest had been forced to drop out. Among the survivors are six young mothers with babies of their own.

The future will be challenging, but our hope is that they’ll be prepared to face those challenges as free girls and women.

While enrolled in our programs, survivors have the opportunity to reengage their education, either in school or skills training. Last month, a survivor from Uganda said, “Now I have hope. I have learned more about God, and I have a skill (tailoring)!”

Networks of informants in rural villages of South Asia located the children. Most were forced to sell themselves just to survive, while others lived in homes where a family member participated in sex work, putting the child at extreme risk.

Now, these brave survivors are taking their first steps toward a safer life. Besides joining a supportive community in a safe, secure home, the girls will participate in trauma resilience training and have the chance to pursue job training that will help them stay free.
