43 rescued at the Nepal Border

43 people, including a 12-year-old girl, were rescued from human trafficking.

A 12-year-old girl was being lured out of the country by a young man she met at the grocery store a few weeks prior. He had gotten her number and falsely promised her a shopping trip over the border, instructing her to lie if questioned at the border.

44 children rescued in Uganda

Forty-four girls ages 13 to 17 have escaped exploitation and stepped into freedom.

All of the survivors joined our community care program, where they will receive weekly counseling, monthly food packs and vocational guidance as they progress through their tailored Freedom Plans.

While healing from the trauma of abuse, these brave girls will be empowered by job training to become financially stable so they’ll no longer need to resort to selling their bodies to survive!

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.

48 girls rescued in Uganda

The survivors, ages 14 to 17, have all joined our community care program.

As they begin their time in our program, survivors will receive a health check. They will also receive a welcome gift: three dresses of their choice. Some girls only have clothing associated with their former life of exploitation, so donning a new outfit carries a special meaning.

Next steps for the survivors will include attending Empower trauma rehabilitation classes and receiving individual counseling. We are so excited to watch these children take their first steps into their bright new futures.
