We’re on the front line of Nepal to fight against human trafficking.
Our mission is to intercept vulnerable Nepali girls at risk of human trafficking and stop the abuse before it begins.
- We focus on surveillance and interception to ‘interrupt evil’ before the damage is done
- We don’t use guilt trips to get supporters, we simply present what we do and invite partnership
- We work in one country – in this way we focus maximum effort where needed to stop human trafficking in that country
- We work with one of the most reputable anti-human trafficking organisations in Nepal, and are on-site twice each year to ensure full policy compliance
- Our partners work hand in hand with other community organisations, local police, border police, local politicians, and community leaders to present a united front in each border interception location
- We deliver holistic care – family unification, HT education, aftercare and counselling, vocational training and micro enterprise opportunities
