Find out how our work in Zimbabwe is changing lives here.

3 Boys Rescued from Suspected Organ Traffickers

Three young boys were rescued at the Nepal border before traffickers could get them across.

A 20-year-old trafficker lied to three young friends in an apparent attempt at organ trafficking. The trafficker promised the two 10-year-olds and 7-year-old easy living if they’d just meet him across the border. Fortunately, our border agents stopped them in time and called their parents, who confirmed that the children had snuck away. Our team counselled the families on the dangers of trafficking before the families returned home.

While details are still coming in, early evidence suggests that this might have been a case of attempted organ trafficking.
