Five children have just been saved from online sexual exploitation and abuse in a coordinated rescue operation with local authorities in the Philippines. They are currently being transferred to our safe house in the Philippines for their protection and support along with counselling and care.
You helped make this possible through your donations, as well as your energetic support in our ongoing fundraising campaign, The Workout Challenge, to fight trafficking. Thank you for being a part of changing the world for these five children.
