Supporting MARICI: Education Gives You Freedom

Last year, through our support to MARICI, two children were rescued from child sex trafficking. While that number may seem small compared to the magnitude of the problem, every life saved is priceless. As the saying goes, every drop in the ocean matters.

One of the rescued children, Chandani, recently traveled to the Bay Area to attend an event. She recently learned to study. She said, ‘Education gives you freedom.’
