"Breaking The Chains Of Human Trafficking"
| To raise awareness and financial aid for safe houses around the world that are working tirelessly in the rescue and restoration of children from labor and sex slavery. |
| To bring awareness and education to the public at large, the church, and physicians about the existence and prevalence of human trafficking in our society. To bring compassion, integrity, and the love of Christ in all that we do. |
| Free For Life Ministries is currently committed to providing support for Reaching Out, a safe house in Romania for victims rescued from human trafficking. Reaching Out has been operating since 1998. This house has provided safety and help for over 170 victims who have found their way there. Once there, the girls are provided (free of charge) residence at the safe house, job training, schooling, and counseling. The girls attend church services, and are integrated back into society by partnering with individuals who provide a place to live after they leave the safe house. Iana Matei, the founder of Reaching Out has been recognized by the U.S. State Department as one of the heroes on the front lines in the war against human trafficking. She has also has made presentations to the United Nations on this important issue. Reaching Out is solely supported through contributions. Right now the house is in desperate need of funds to meet their daily needs. We are committed to help in their support, and have set an initial goal of 1,000 individuals committing to a pledge of just $10.00 monthly. In doing so we can help Reaching Out continue to operate effectively, and sow into the future of these amazing girls. |
| Founded in 1988 by Shanta Sapkota, Peace Rehabilitation Center has been rescuing victims of human trafficking for almost 20 years. They also have a plan to open an AIDS hospital due to the large number of cases they see. They have great vision as they realize that this fight can only be won by combating trafficking on the front end. For this reason they are on a mission to prevent trafficking at it's root sources - primarily poverty and illiteracy. Their programs include border monitoring to prevent girls from being taken out of the country, education of girls at risk through community training, vocational training, economic assistance through donations of goats and cows to economically empower the girls, educational skits, etc. They have been extremely successful in these programs and have been responsible for capture of over 25 traffickers at the border crossings alone. Free For Life Ministries is committed to supporting these amazing individuals to continue to do what they are doing so well.

Fundraising Ideas
I just felt like writing this morning. So I have been zipping around on Facebook today and looked at the top causes on Facebook. Let me tell you some of the causes that are ahead of Human Slavery. Stop Global warming, Aid for Korean animals, Help Farm animals in California and Cancer prevention. Now hear me when I say all of these may be important but the most precious resource on this planet is a human life. While I feel it is abhorrent that dogs are being kept in cages and treated inhumanely, know that in this world children are also being kept in cages and broken of their spirits. They are sold and used and some will lose their lives as you read this. I ask myself how can there be more money raised to save a cow or a dog than a child. There are 13,000,000 children waiting for that kind of passion and compassion. It is alarming to me that the shelters we are working with sometimes cannot feed their children 3 times a day. Some cannot spend the $3 a day it cost for the aids medicine that is needed as a result of them being sold as a sex slave. Most people that are sold as sex slaves will be HIV+ as a result. So little money is needed to keep these safe houses open. But in the past 6 months a shelter closed it's doors in Russia from lack of finances. Their yearly budget is $42,000. We have a shelter in India that has a budget of $22,000 for the year and 25 children and they barely pay their rent each month. So tell me how do we turn this around. How do we get people to see our first priority is to human life, freedom and dignity. We Press On Colette Join our cause on face book Free For Life Ministries |
