Hope Returns - Projects

... helping to end child trafficking

Projects . . .

Hope Returns works in partnership with local communities and international organizations to restore freedom and dignity to the impoverished and enslaved in developing countries. Our attention is on human trafficking—helping those who are victims and those who are at risk of becoming victims—with a focus on the most vulnerable of all—children.

INDIA:

December 2011 - Hope Returns is now moving into Bangalore, India, a region devastated by child sex slavery and trafficking, where there is currently no help for these children. Hundreds of thousands of children have been identified as trafficked persons in India, the majority being exploited in city of Bangalore.

Therefore, we are focusing our work in Bangalore, India, home to more than 4.5 million people...also known as India's Silicon Valley, The Garden City or India's Playground. But underneath the pleasant play on words to describe this city, there is a profound darkness lurking...unspeakable evil deeds are taking place in this city. Children are suffering unmercifully at the hands of human traffickers through torture, rape and sexual exploitation. In fact, Bangalore has now become the hub of child sex trafficking in all of India.

Yet, despite the colossal size of this problem in Bangalore, there is no place for the victims of child trafficking to turn to. These helpless and precious little beings have lost all hope of ever being rescued. We just can't stand by and let this happen.

So, with our partners in Bangalore, Hope Returns is currently working to establish safe homes (rehabilitation centres) so that the process of rescuing children out of the hands of the traffickers can finally begin in this city.

We desperately need your financial gifts now to help us with this project.
There is so much to do. We must provide all the necessities to offer the kind of care that these children will require. This includes:

- care givers                            - food                          - bedding/linens
- medical treatment              - clothing                    - dishes
- support staff                      - furniture                   - toiletries

Thank you for your help. We genuinely appreciate any financial gift you can give, no matter how small.

CAMBODIA:

Aftercare Programs: We are currently working with our partners in Cambodia to rescue innocent children who have been sold into sex slavery. These children have lived through unimaginable horrors at the hands of their captors and need tender care. Working with our partners, we provide these child victims with the best aftercare possible: a safe home, love, counseling, medical aid, education and spiritual hope.

Prevention Programs: Hope Returns works with partners to bring Child Trafficking Prevention programs to communities and villages in Cambodia. We are educating children and their families about the perils of trafficking. Exposing the methods used by traffickers and the deception of their disguises. Astonishingly, we have found that Cambodians in general are very naive about what really happens to a child once in the hands of a trafficker. Most are in disbelief to learn that these children are quite often sent to other countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia and sold into sex slavery, hard labour or for street begging.
