More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
One million new children are trafficked into sexual exploitation each year, and they need holistic, continuing care to rebuild their lives after this trauma. One of the biggest problems confronting shelters that rehabilitate survivors is that survivors have no place to go after rescue and shelter care. They are often not welcome back in their own community, and typically they were trafficked at a young age (11-12yrs) and have never lived independently.
Activities
In partnership with 4 Calcutta shelters, we opened the Destiny Center in 2008. Rescued survivors are trained and employed at Destiny making handbags, home goods and jewelry, allowing them to support themselves and live independently
