…and some Very Special Girls.
Girls of Nepal have such a beautiful land in which to grow up! And like all little girls, they deserve a life in which they are safe to grow up thinking they can do anything and that all things are possible. It is heartbreaking that every year 20,000 girls of Nepal, some as young as nine, are trafficked and end up in brothels or are taken to other countries and forced to be domestic servants.
“Stop Girl Trafficking” is one of many projects of the American Himalayan Foundation. The focus is on prevention: when girls are in school they are less vulnerable to being sold or lured from home on false pretenses. The longer a girl is in school, the more valued she is to her family and to herself. It’s working! Donate Here
This very successful program now has 8500 girls in 400 schools and not one has been lost to trafficking. Just $100 pays for everything for a girl to be in school one year.
Many former trafficking victims work surveillance at Nepal’s borders, assisting police in the intervention and rescue of over 2000 girls this year alone.
