Salvaged Child is a vital ministry to help save children from the worst human trafficking areas of the world. We need your help to raise the awareness of child exploitation in people’s consciousness, and raise funds to increase the number of children that can be saved (salvaged) in the rescue homes we sponsor.
According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, UNICEF, and Friends of Thai Daughters, the trafficking of children is increasing, as a worldwide crisis.
According to the Friends of Thai Daughters website: “The past decade has seen tremendous growth in human trafficking worldwide, a blatant abuse of human rights with devastating consequences for the millions of children, families, and communities affected by this horrific crime. UNICEF estimates that over one million children are trafficked each year, the majority into sex slavery and prostitution.
The Golden Triangle, where Thailand, Myanmar (Burma) and Laos converge, is home to a vast and growing network of human traffickers, seeking out troubled and impoverished families with few options.
These traffickers promise jobs as waitresses or maids in distant cities. Instead, girls as young as eight years old are confined to brothels where they may be forced to service up to 20 men per day, at risk of contracting HIV/AIDS or other diseases. Older girls are often sold overseas, where they are stripped of their documentation and left powerless to escape.”
Exploitation is a horrible, evil business. We must do whatever we can to help break the cycle for as many kids as possible. We have major contacts on the ground in the most critical trafficking region of the world, and with your help, we can make a difference. But we must amp up our efforts – before its too late for another child.
What is a child’s life worth? The financial commitment you make can change the lives of children forever. We appreciate your gift. Thank you – for them!
