their purpose:
Project Rescue's journey began in 1997 when K.K. Devaraj, an Indian National, and members of his Bombay Teen Challenge organization went into the Falkland Road red-light district in Mumbai, India with a passion to reach the young generation that was ensnared in drugs, gangs, and prostitution. The task force was stunned by what was there: a tragic city of over 100,000 women and girls, many of whom had been sold into sexual slavery by their impoverished families in North India and Nepal.
In that first encounter, they inspired over 100 young women to escape and find a new life in Jesus Christ. They were also given an additional 32 little girls by enslaved sex workers who hoped to prevent their young daughters from sharing their dark fate.
what they do:
Rescuing today's young sexual slavery victims is nothing short of a miracle.
It is a long process and one filled with risks and challenges that require considerable skill, knowledge, and poise. Our lessons learned have come the hard way.
Admittedly, our efforts don't always end with a rescued child or woman. Yet our determination to right this horrific wrong remains unshakable. Our joy in seeing the miracle of restoration reflected in a young person's eyes from sad darkness to exuberant light provides our singular focus.
what can you do to help:
There are many ways in which you can help us create real and lasting change in the lives of victims of forced prostitution:
