Care for All – Reach All – Serve All

 

 

The CARASA Foundation exists to free children and women from slavery and to help provide them education, medication, hospital care and legal aid. 

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Target 8.7 calls for action to end modern slavery and human trafficking, and by 2025 eradicate child labour in all its forms. With your generous support and donations we will contribute to this goal and assist women and children as they make their journey to freedom. 

The vicious cycle of slavery takes many forms including brick making, clothing/textile factories, cleaning, and prostitution. It is illegal all over the world yet in many countries, laws against it are inadequately enforced. Children may be born, kidnapped, or tricked into slavery, or sold by family members to repay debt or earn money. Non-Government Organisations work to identify and prevent the root causes of child slavery, while at the same time work hard to free children caught up in this insidious trade.

We are currently supporting Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation and their work with ending slavery and human trafficking in Vietnam. According to Blue Dragon’s latest reports, since the beginning of the pandemic the number of homeless children in Hanoi increased by over 160%, a group who are very vulnerable to human trafficking. Between July 2020 and June 2021, 80 of the total people Blue Dragon rescued from human trafficking, were victims of slavery and exploitation. 

Under the guidance of Blue Dragon, $55 per month (just $1.80 per day) can fully pay a Vietnamese student’s school fees, textbooks and stationery, and provide a basic living allowance. This is one of the many ways you can help prevent trafficking before it happens, as well as keep children from falling back into the cycle.

Here at CARASA, we believe in the power of the culmination of small things, which is why our motto is

“Small change –> Big Changes”.

Even the smallest of contributions, whether it be monetary or spreading awareness, can make huge changes in a child’s life. Check out our Get Involved page to see how!
