At this time we have been helping people who were affected by the massive earthquakes. We will soon get back into our regular program which consists of rescuing young girls from sex trafficking and providing vocational training to them. Further we help educate the local communities and raise awareness about the human trafficking dangers.
Here is a description of our efforts after the earthquakes.
Mass tractors carrying supplies. This area is very hard to travel to, and to get into because of the remoteness and lack of access to roads. Our people basically have to make roads for tractors as they drive them. In the meantime, they have to push the trucks by hand. This is not the final destination though. Our next step is finding people and mules to carry supplies for different villages. Many international aid agencies can't handle the terrain and never make it here. It is too remote and treacherous for them. Also, the people from the aid agencies can't speak the language, nor do they understand it. Monsoon season has now started, and the landslides are scaring the villagers who are already fragile due to the strong earthquakes that took everything away from them.
We had people carrying and delivering the earthquake supplies. We had porters and mules. We sent 1,000 bags of rice, each weighing over 66 pounds, to Laprak village. We had another 200 bags delivered to Khorla village by 270 porters. One group was sent to Kerauja with 160 bags of rice and 80 mules. Another group of porters were sent to Lapsibot and Yamgau villages with 350 mules carrying 360 bags of rice, water pipes for clean drinking water and the other supplies. We have reached over 15,000 families and households and provided over 2 million meals. Thank you all for your support!
