The Emancipation Network
JOIN THE CAUSE. MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
We will be traveling to Calcutta, India to rescue and teach the women and children ages 6-17 who have been sold as slaves in human trafficking.
We will go out to the Sanlaap shelter home to work with teen survivors. We will work at the Apne Aap center in the Kidderpore Red Light District and work with younger kids (age 5-14) teaching academic, drama, art and music workshops. We will also work at the Destiny center, leading workshops in English, computers, leadership and team-building with the young adult survivors there.
Our work will empower these young survivors, enabling them to reintegrate into society and to become "slavery-proof", through education and economic alternatives.
The funds we raise help with our costs of travel to India and will provide needed supplies to assist these young girls as they learn to provide for themselves through their sewing and craftwork.
Thank you for your donation and empathy.
