69 Rescued from Human Traffickers

69 people, including 31 children, were rescued before they were trafficked across the Nepal border.

Traffickers use a variety of tactics, from romantic grooming to fake job postings, to lure their targets out of Nepal. Once out, the victims are sold into brothels or labor trafficking, cut off from help in a foreign land.

But these 69 survivors are safe! After being counseled on how criminals trick their targets, they all returned home to their families. One even pressed charges against her trafficker, despite the risk of incurring social stigma. That trafficker was arrested.

36 Kenyan Children Now Safe from Exploitation

Thirty-six kids are free from human trafficking and sexual exploitation.

While most of the children we rescue in Kenya were forced to sell their bodies just to survive, eight of these children were rescued from generational exploitation. That means that while they may not have suffered physical abuse yet, they were living in a home that put them at terrible risk of exploitation. Often, a mother or guardian is a sex worker who allows clients into the home to conduct business.

Thankfully, all of these kids, the youngest of whom was just 5 years old, are now safely recovering in our Community Care Program.

13 Dominican women rescued from international sex trafficking

The victims were trafficked through the country into Turks and Caicos.

The women were from both Colombia and the Dominican Republic. They accepted fake job offers before being slapped with a fabricated debt. They were forced to pay the false debt by enduring sexual abuse, first in the Dominican Republic and later in Turks and Caicos.

Local Dominican police collaborated with officers in Turks and Caicos to raid the bar where most of the victims were kept. After the raid, Destiny Rescue provided logistical support for the incoming survivors and coordinated with the Turks and Caicos government to see that everyone back to their home countries safely.

21 Rescued from Border Traffickers

24 Children Free from Sexual Exploitation in Zimbabwe

21 Girls Are Free from Sexual Exploitation

The 14- to- 17-year-old girls are all recovering in our Residential Care home.

With no money for school fees or even food, most of these girls were forced into selling their bodies just to survive. A few of them were the daughters of sex workers, dangerously close to an industry that preys on desperation.

Now, all the children are living and recovering together in our residential care home, where they’ll receive the emotional and physical care they need to heal from all they’ve endured AND become equipped with job and skills training to live free.
