Last month, we celebrated a milestone in our recovery program for trafficked girls. Since its beginnings, Hagar's program has supported 200 girls on their journeys toward wholeness. Many dreams have been realized. Dreams for education. A career. A loving family. Many new futures are being envisioned.
Here is the story of one girl, named Srey Mao:
Sold by her own family to a brothel, Srey Mao remembers the pain and the trauma of the place. She lived for a long time under the impression that her sole value was the $500 her family received for selling her. Not so anymore. It has been a journey over years. But now Srey Mao says confidently, "Now I know I am priceless. I am more valuable than money."
When you support Hagar's project on Global Giving, you bring more dreams to girls like her.
