Captivating ramps up its support for more border stations through TINY HANDS

Since 2013, Captivating has partnered with TINY HANDS INTERNATIONAL – one of our Nepal based program partners working to intercept girls believed to be in the very act of being trafficked. Captivating is pleased to announce our support has now expanded to fully finance the operation of FIVE (5) TINY HANDS border monitoring stations. Located in trafficking hot-spots, dedicated staff at these stations are stopping a multiple number of girls every day whose situation looks suspicious. Following interviews, an average of one girl a day will be deemed to be in the process of being trafficked into the sex slavery industry across the border into India and beyond.  That’s 360 girls a year whose lives will be saved from a horrific outcome. This is such urgent work, and we are thrilled to support John, Doug, Carly, Karl and the whole team at TINY HANDS.

ICC Aust logotiny hands logoOur continual thanks to our supporters around the world willing to financially support this work. On average, it costs US$100 to intercept a girl at the border. Help us keep this program going, and possibly expand it further.  For details, contact juliec@captivating.org
