Project Rescue has not only officially launched into Latin America but has partnered in two countries just this year!
These partnerships are just the beginning as we are now able to work with women and children who have experienced sexual slavery and are looking for hope. We will be creating educational and vocational programs, already serving over 60 survivors throughout many impoverished communities within the jungles and villages of Latin America.
Meet Elana
Elana is 5 years old. She was born in a brothel but because of a bad marriage her mother walked out of it and after some years married another man who was her customer and wanted her to shift with him to his village…
Elana was never accepted in the new family and when her mother had two sons the stepfather and his family began physically and verbally abusing her. When there was a threat to the life of Elana, her mother called her sister to take the child away. Elana's aunt rushed to the village and Elana started staying with her in a brothel…
Project Rescue started organizing Elana’s papers to bring her to one of our safe homes but her stepfather now started torturing Elana's mother demanding the child be brought back to the village…
Confused, she talked to Elana's aunt to bring the child back to them.
When Elana's aunt discussed this with our team they encouraged her to come to the center and they all prayed for this situation.
Later, Elana's mother expressed her desire to have Elana stay with Project Rescue for a better future and an education. Elana's mother was willing to take the beating and abuse from her husband but wanted a better future for her child. Elana is now safe with our team and receiving an education.
