Ten children rescued in newest project in Africa
Ten children, ages eight to 16, have been rescued from sexual abuse and exploitation.
Rescue operations have begun in one of our newest locations. 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.
Survivors are being cared for by vetted foster families in the area and are receiving the services offered by our community care program.
