23 Children Rescued from Exploitation
21 children, ages 12-17, were enduring exploitation to survive. Two 7-year-olds were rescued from the generational impact of sexual exploitation.
Children who grow up with an exploited parent are often subjected to exploitation themselves. Our teams work with adult mothers to ensure their young children are kept safe from exploitation. Often, the mothers choose to step into a life of freedom as well! We are thankful to have the opportunity to end this cycle of exploitation.
All 23 children joined our Community Care program. In our program, they will be assessed to determine what necessities, education or vocational training is needed to keep them moving toward freedom!
We were honored to announce our work in Kenya earlier this year publicly! You can learn more about Kenya, a beautiful land of contrasts, here.

Traffickers use a variety of tactics, from romantic grooming to fake job postings, to lure their targets out of Nepal. Once out, the victims are sold into brothels or labor trafficking, cut off from help in a foreign land.
But these 69 survivors are safe! After being counseled on how criminals trick their targets, they all returned home to their families. One even pressed charges against her trafficker, despite the risk of incurring social stigma. That trafficker was arrested.

Among the survivors were two girls, aged 13 and 17, traveling with a woman who’d instructed them to lie when they reached a checkpoint. When our agents interviewed the girls, they noticed that their stories didn’t match. The traffickers had promised the girls good jobs on the other side but likely planned something much worse.

Thanks to their efforts, these people won’t have to face the horrors their traffickers had planned for them.
