We are thrilled to announce that our rescue team rescued 38 new children from Lake Volta and White Volta in their recent two rescue operations!
The rescue was done in collaboration with the anti-human trafficking unit- headquarters, social welfare-Yeji, and Ghana police service-Yeji. The operation evolved around more than ten communities on both Lake Volta and White Volta.
During the first rescue which was in June, they rescued 26 children out of which twelve (12) of them were females and fourteen (14) of them were males aged between six (6) to seventeen (17) years. They have also rescued five (5) boys and seven (7) girls just this week. All of these children rescued were trafficked and taken through worse forms of child labor and abuse. Most of them had tooth decay, foot rot, swollen toes, scars from physical abuse, bilharzia, and malnourished.
Both operations were successful with some usual attacks on the team! We extend our profound appreciation to you all for your continuous donations and support in making this possible, thank you!
