anyone can fundraise

The community these young woman are building together is vital to preventing the isolation that is preyed upon by human traffickers. We can’t wait to see what this get together becomes in the future.

A Legacy of 15 years! In March 2008, we opened the doors of the SHE Rescue Home. We have had the privilege of seeing those young girls grow up over the last 15 years. They are now in their 20’s building careers, starting families, finishing school, graduating from university. Some of them wanted to share their stories.

The annual Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report has been released for 2022. The report does an incredible job of showing the scope and response of human trafficking in the world. There are some things to celebrate. Unfortunately there is not much to celebrate in their annual analysis of Cambodia.

Have you ever wondered how girls come into the SHE Rescue Home?

We never get a lot of notice when a new girl is going to come into the SHE Rescue Home. Sometimes we get a day or two notice; Sometimes it is only a few hours.

We welcomed a new girl into our SHE Rescue Home last month. She is only 11 years old. She hasn’t lived with her mother for years and can’t remember where her family lives. We know finding her family is important for her emotionally but it is also necessary for practical reasons. Without knowing where her family is or where she was born we cannot get her birth certificate or any official identification. She cannot attend school or officially/legally exist in Cambodia without ID.

Her social worker knows how difficult this process will be as finding a girl’s family has been struggling for previous girls in our care as well.

A modern maxim says: “People tend to overestimate what can be done in one year and to underestimate what can be done in five or ten years.”

We can do a lot in a year

But we never want underestimate what we can do in the next 5 or 10 or 15 years. The impact on these girls’ lives will be life changing! The ripple effects into their families, community, country and the international response to end human trafficking can be exponential with your help!

14 years ago, the girls in our care were children. Now they are adults in their twenties and some of them want to share their story. It is our incredible privilege to amplify their voices!

We have four girls who have graduated grade 12 and are ready to go to university. Yes – You read that correctly! In the midst of a pandemic with schools only online for six months, four girls rescued from human trafficking and exploitation graduated from HIGH SCHOOL!!

Many girls in Cambodia don’t receive justice because they cannot afford it. Your donations go towards providing justice for girls like Panha* and Kanya*.
