Two pilot projects in Africa rescue 43 children


43 survivors have stepped into freedom and joined our community care program in two different African countries.

The children, ages 10 to 17, and one 18 year old, were forced to do the unthinkable: sell themselves to survive. Each survivor will receive Empower trauma rehabilitation counseling and will work with their caseworker on their individualized Freedom Plans to help them find stability and pursue their bright futures that lie ahead.
