22 girls rescued in Uganda
22 survivors, ages 12 to 17, chose freedom and joined our community care programs in Uganda.
All of the children were enduring sexual exploitation in order to survive and meet their basic needs. Five of the survivors have children of their own as a result of their exploitation.
In our programs, the survivors will attend trauma rehabilitation classes and receive counseling. Working with their caseworkers they will customize their freedom plan and begin taking achievable steps towards their new future.

Many people have sacrificed greatly to make this possible. Behind every rescue, there are generous donors and passionate fundraisers, dedicated staff members and volunteers, and rescue agents willing to risk it all. All are heroes worthy of our prayers, support and gratitude. We are excited about this milestone because each number represents an actual person with a real name; children and young adults who have been given the opportunity to embrace freedom and pursue their dreams. Let us celebrate this victory together. I thank you all and pray God blesses you abundantly!” – Founder and International President Tony Kirwan
