Our goal is to fight human trafficking by providing basic needs and education for children, so they learn to avoid trafficking and stay in their homes. Most of the children we support are orphans in unthinkable situations. We believe that providing for children’s needs and raising awareness about human trafficking are ways we can support these children. CRM spreads awareness through documentary video presentations and leaflets in remote villages where the illiteracy rate is as high as 90%. If the families are extremely poor, Children Rescue Mission provides tools and resources to local men and women to help find work to maintain a sustainable business and income for their families. We have launched several projects, such as distributing goats and chickens to raise and reproduce for their sustenance, and street carts for the families to sell vegetables from. Parents may “sell” a daughter, under the impression that the buyer – also known as a human trafficking broker – can help her find work. The slave traders encourage families to sell their daughters, claiming that they might be able to send money back to the family, but this is sadly not true. The lack of education and unawareness is a key reason why the poor girls are sold into the brutal human trafficking system.
