We provide scholarship and programming opportunities
for children at risk for sexual trafficking and exploitation
The Need:
Many children in the smaller villages of Thailand are sent to work in the sex tourism industry, exposing them to sexual exploitation and trafficking at a young age. Many children are taken out of school early, encouraged to do so by their community , and simply sent off to 'work' in the sex trade. While visiting this beautiful country, our team met a Thai woman who knew this story all too well.
She had a dream to mentor and care for these kids, work alongside their families, and give them the opportunity to attend school instead. This was a huge dream of change for a community so set in its ways.
Our Response:
We partnered with this woman. She went on to run mentoring and programming for these students while we support by being a partner financially, relationally, and in prayer.
The Impact:
Thanks to the heart of the mentors in Thailand and the giving of the Liberate community, over $40,000 have been raised over the past 4 years. This money has provided for over 30 student's school years and salaries to pay the mentors a fair wage fo their time .
