Dear Friend,
Thank you for your gift to help trafficked women and children living in the red-light districts. Because of you, these women are finding a life of freedom and are no longer trapped in sexual slavery. A total of 14 women have exited the sex trade in the past few months thanks to your compassion and generosity.
You are helping a young woman like Anju. She was just 15 years old when she was trafficked from her small village and taken to a red-light district in Mumbai. She was tied up with rope and left alone in a room facing physical abuse of the worse kind. She didn't think her life would end up working in the sex trade.
When our counseling team met Anju she had two children and had been working in the red-light district for several years. It wasn't a good situation for her or her kids. Over time we encouraged her to send her children to our pre-primary school located in the red-light district. We also helped her realize that she needed to get out.
This year Anju made the decision to leave the red-light district! Thanks to you Anju is receiving the help she needs. You are providing a brighter future not just for her but also her family. Anju recently told us that she wants her daughters to have a safe future and live in a safe house where they can grow up and become all they can be! She hopes her second daughter to become a lawyer someday!
Your gift made this story have a happy ending. Thank you for your support!
Thank you,
John Sparks
