Our newest shelter, Grace House, is strategically located in East Java. It is situated in the region that hosts Indonesia's two largest cities - Jakarta and Surabaya - and Bali. This location is strategic not only because the nearby metropolitan centers but also because Bali, being a popular tourist spot, is considered a worldwide destination for child trafficking. As such a pipeline of children are brought into Bali from the surrounding Indonesian islands.
As we have see from our similar efforts in northeastern Indonesian, our anti-trafficking operations can result in a significant reduction in trafficking. As we prepare to open Grace House we are very excited to see similar outcomes in East Java and putting a significant dent in one of the world's child trafficking hotspots.
