Gift Package: Rescue A Nepali Girl from Captivity and Bonded Servitude

Organization: Nepal Youth Foundation
Based in: United States,   US EIN #: 68-0224596

Quick Facts

In the western regions of rural Nepal, the ages-old tradition of selling girl children into indentured servitude is still followed by desperate families lacking other sources of income. These little girls, often as young as 6-years-old, are bartered for $40 or $50 dollars and taken far from home to work as domestic slaves in private homes or, even more dangerously, as workers in "tea shops," which most often are houses of prostitution.

Your contribution of just $100 is enough to rescue one girl from this sordid situation, bring her home and provide her access to an education. And, to ensure that her parents will not need to use their daughter for income, part of your investment buys a farm animal (usually either a pig or goat) which the family raises and sells for as much or more than the daughter's labors.

We invite you to watch our new video about the Indentured Daughters Program http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QPLgT0ZAiY&feature=player_embedded
