Protect Girls from Trafficking with Job Skills

In the past several months, your gift helped construct and open a shelter for trafficked girls in Laos.

A long-lasting safe-house is now actively providing recovery and counseling services to girls who are rescued from neighboring Thailand. (*Because of the need for confidentiality and safety, I can only share photos of the building.)

Staffed by well-trained and compassionate caregivers, the shelter is a haven for girls needing support and will equip girls coming out of a horrific experience with the skills needed to find better employment or even start their own small business.

Your gifts will allow these vulnerable girls to stay safely, and with dignity for up to a month. Your donation is helping provide everything they need—a welcome kit, all utilities and food, and specialized care.

During their stay, they will be trained on basic life skills and vital job skills such as sewing, haircutting and even computer technology!

This education is critical in building a girl’s confidence, empowering her to overcome challenges, and in time, step out of the shadows and into a new life. With her new skills, a young girl can find and work for ethical employers, or even begin an income generating activity on her own to stay safe and have a better life.

What I hope is most encouraging to you is that you’re also providing counseling and social support to girls that are particularly traumatized. In addition to receiving job training, giving a girl the opportunity to share her story with a professional and work through her fears is life-changing.

I am so grateful for you! With the construction of this shelter, trafficked girls will know that you’re walking with them through the journey, that they’re cared for and not alone. Thank you!
