Manila Slum Project Improves Students' Attendance

Our Manila Slum Project in the Philippines has been monitoring the school attendance of children by working closely with their teachers since January.

In our effort to reach more parents with our OSEC awareness campaign, Honor 1000 (our field partner in the Philippines), recently partnered with World Vision.
We gave each family a calendar that they can hang on their walls all year long. This calendar has important information about OSEC and human trafficking. Recognizing that most mothers are very busy with day to day work, a simple calendar that can remind them to guide and be vigilant in protecting their children will be extremely helpful.
The calendar is complete with hotline numbers and steps they can follow in reporting cases of OSEC and human trafficking, which should empower parents and community members to be advocates against exploitation of children.
2023 will see Captivating fund education and awareness programs reaching 30,000 women and students in locations considered significantly at risk of cybersex crime and human trafficking.
