Helping individuals & communities achieve self-reliance is a big job. We partner with organizations and Advocates who help us empower impoverished communities, fight human trafficking, and respond to natural disasters.
We’re seeking to empower communities worldwide to make sustainable change by supporting initiatives that alleviate extreme poverty, improve quality of life, and ensure basic human rights.
Humanitarian work isn’t always traveling to faraway places or organizing large-scale projects. We believe that empowering individuals to engage however they can is enough to change the world.
It’s important to understand any charitable organization you’re looking into supporting financially. Here are some of our most commonly asked questions. Still don’t have the answer you’re looking for? Contact us!
It is estimated that there are more people enslaved in India than any other country in the world. The crushing weight of poverty in India and Nepal creates a vulnerability to the tactics of human traffickers. A false job offer or fraudulent marriage is often all it takes to convince someone to travel away from their village and leave behind all networks of support. With low rates of female literacy and employment, opportunities are rare and early marriages remain common. Additionally, long-held cultural attitudes towards women make them subject to high levels of gender-based violence and discrimination as second-class citizens. Free for Life's Border Monitoring Program was created to rescue women and girls from human trafficking along the border between Nepal and India. This fundraiser will provide food, shelter, medical attention, and educational materials for rescued girls, as well as provide supplies needed to maintain the station and transitional shelters.
