Our Daughters International

PREVENTION, RESCUE, & REHABILITATION: Our goal is to eradicate trafficking all together. Therefore, we try to reduce the likelihood that a girl will be trafficked by making it possible for at-risk girls to receive an education. If girls are trafficked, our rescue program includes border surveillance where girls are interviewed and stopped if they are being taken against their will. Many girls are returned home, but if it is not safe at home, the girls are provided a safe and loving environment at which to begin the recovery process. The rehabilitation process takes place at a safe home where the girls receive counseling, health assessments, and care as needed from an experienced and loving team. During this recovery process emotional walls begin to come down and hope begins to be restored.

EMPOWERMENT, TRAINING, AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: To ensure our daughters are not vulnerable to being trafficked again, during their 6-9 month stay in the training center they are taught a job skill which enables them to establish their own microbusiness. This business will provide them with a sustainable income. They are also instructed on how to become an anti-trafficking advocate so as they return home, they can help protect others from the same fate. As our daughters return to their communities, they establish women's empowerment groups. As empowered community leaders, they establish self-sustaining businesses, bring anti-trafficking and child-marriage awareness to their communities, encourage self-value and leadership, and host cooperatives farming, job skills training, and savings groups and entrepreneurial development.
