A 500-year-old cycle of systematic exploitation
Thousands of children are prostituted every year
One of Southern Asia's poorest communities has bought into a lie, believing they are destined for a life of exploitation, fated to prostitute their daughters to provide for their family. The children living in the 76 rural villages that form this community are groomed for exploitation from birth. Girls are expected to live in sexual slavery, and young boys are trained as the next generation of pimps. This is their way of life and has been for centuries. We are on a mission to break this cycle.
We believe the light of God can transform this community, and bring freedom to these children and their families.
We believe they are future leaders of Southern Asia.
Our mission is to bring hope to the children in these villages while also equipping and empowering them to bring holistic and transformational change back into their communities - breaking the grip of sexual slavery over this community.
Our Solution
Establishing relationships is vital to the sustainability of our programs. New opportunities to reach more villagers happen as our team builds trust through community outreach initiatives like:
Medical outreaches
Home repair projects
Food distribution
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
A NEW SAFE HOME
We believe education is a key to changing the trajectory of children’s lives in these village communities. Currently, children attending school in these communities is not valued. Although some do attend for the first few years, there is nearly a 100% drop-out rate for girls. By providing consistent access to education, the children in this community will be prepared to study in any field they want and be equipped to pursue a good job with dignity and freedom.
Each child has different needs, as many are uneducated, behind, or need special assistance. Our desire is to meet each child where they’re at developmentally and work with them personally by tailoring our school academy’s holistic curriculum to their learning pace.
EDUCATION
Vulnerable children throughout this community need a safe and nurturing home where they have access to nutritious meals every day, a safe sleeping space, and staff that will love and support them through their healing process.
As our work has expanded in this area, we recognize the dire need for a new safe home for high-risk teenage girls in the community. This new home would complement our two existing safe homes for young boys and girls.
Access to a new beginning is crucial in transforming the economic aspect of this community. Our work in this area will offer vocational training courses to women that desire to take a step toward freedom and a new way of providing for their families.
A variety of training opportunities will be offered including tailoring, jewelry making, leather goods, agricultural training, and even training for Rickshaw driving (taxi service), just to name a few!
VOCATIONAL TRAINING
A NEW HOME OF HOPE FOR TEEN GIRLS
Every day more children are trapped in a life of sexual slavery. Our urgent need is to build a new safe home for high-risk teenage girls. This is a 3D rendering of our construction plans for this new Home of Hope!
