Empower 40 rescued children and teens with life-changing skills in sewing and garment-making. Through GLOWA's trusted referral network, each participant receives expert training, materials, and equipment-unlocking the opportunity to earn a living, support their families, and break the cycle of exploitation. Your support helps them reclaim their future with strength, purpose, and hope. Together, we can turn survival into opportunity.
An estimated 40% of children in Cameroon face the risk of physical or sexual abuse, much of it tied to human trafficking. Traffickers often target homeless youth and those from economically disadvantaged families, luring them with false promises of education or a better life in urban areas. These children lose vital connections with their families, miss out on schooling, and are frequently left deeply traumatized. GLOWA works to empower these survivors, helping them reclaim their futures.
GLOWA is creating a modular program to address every aspect of victim rehabilitation-including education, legal support, healthcare, social services, and skill-building. This project specifically targets skill development in sewing and garment-making, giving survivors the tools to build self-sufficient lives. Developed in partnership with an Atlanta-based fashion design school, the module helps participants create their own brands and businesses. Funding will support this project implementation.
Beyond helping survivors gain employment or start small businesses, the project aims to launch a sustainable 'survivor brand'-a clothing line created by participants and sold to local businesses and organizations. This not only provides a source of ongoing income for the students but also helps fund the program long-term. With continued support, the initiative can scale up to reach more trafficking survivors across the region, creating lasting economic and social impact.
