Seven individuals in Uganda chose freedom!
These 16 to 18-year-old girls and young women bravely said “yes” to our agents' offer, leaving behind a life where they had to endure sexual exploitation to merely survive.
Six survivors entered our Community Care program, and one came to live in our residential home. Each girl will receive an individualized Freedom Plan™ that meets their basic needs while offering educational and vocational opportunities, helping remove them from the life of trauma they were forced to endure.
Check out a survivor’s story to get a closer look at what type of circumstances lead to rescue in the region.
