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.

34 Rescued in Nepal

Twenty-seven survivors were rescued at the border, and agents collaborated with police to free the rest from traffickers.

As part of their continuing mission, border agents stopped traffickers from escaping the country, rescuing 27 victims in a single week. During the same time, Destiny Rescue agents collaborated with authorities to rescue the rest, resulting in the arrest of two traffickers.

While most of the survivors were reunited with their families, two girls, aged 13 and 15, were entrusted to a local shelter to begin their journeys toward freedom.

7-year-old among 5 rescued from forced labor in Cambodia

4 boys and a girl are now learning to live free since being rescued

Agents found the children begging on the street during their canvassing operations. Further investigation revealed that they’d been forced into begging for money by crippling family debt or crushing poverty. Now that they’ve enrolled in our post-rescue programming, the kids will be equipped to live their own lives in freedom.

15 Children Rescued in the Dominican Republic

Agents helped police rescue 15 kids from abusers over the course of several weeks

Most of the children suffered domestic sexual abuse from someone close to them before our agents’ investigations led to police intervention. The series of operations led to 13 arrests, including one man who’d forced a 15-year-old girl into marriage. With their abusers behind bars, the kids are now all home safe.

16 children and three young adults are free from sexual exploitation in Zimbabwe.

Nineteen Zimbabwean victims of exploitation became survivors after joining the local Destiny Rescue program.

While most of the survivors had been forced to sell themselves in order to afford basic necessities, one 15-year-old girl had also been under the control of a human trafficker. A myriad of factors led to their desperation, from family illness to hunger to homelessness. The resulting vulnerability forced them into a situation they never wanted.

Now, those vulnerabilities are being addressed in our Community Care Program so that these women and girls can continue to live free. Celebrate their freedom with us today!

36 Freed from Human Traffickers

Four raids rescued 36 women from the criminals who trafficked them in the Philippines.

In our quest to identify kids in need of rescue, we don’t turn a blind eye when our investigations reveal adults caught in the grip of human traffickers.

Criminals took advantage of these women’s financial vulnerabilities to sexually exploit them for profit. Our team worked with local law enforcement to organize four separate raids to rescue them and bring their traffickers to justice.

After the raids, most of the women were returned to their homes while a few began their recovery in the care of government caseworkers. Five traffickers were arrested and are awaiting trial for their crimes.
