Nepal:

Ishya's and Sanani's Story
In the rural mountains of Nepal, where poverty looms over every household, two siblings named Ishya and Sanani struggled to find hope amidst a bleak reality. At the tender ages of six and four, they were exposed to a distressing practice that plagued their community. Families, burdened by monetary debts and limited economic opportunities, often resort to selling their young daughters in exchange for money. Ishya and Sanani were no strangers to this way of life. Their rural upbringing had ingrained in them the belief that their worth was measured by the monetary value they could fetch. Their father had passed away just over a year ago, leaving their mother to navigate the treacherous waters of poverty alone. Desperate to provide for her children, she contemplated sending Ishya away with a distant cousin who promised a bright future. However, unbeknownst to their vulnerable hearts, this "bright future" was merely a deceptive lie crafted to lead Ishya into the harrowing red light district of Kathmandu. The hour of darkness was drawing near as Ishya's departure loomed on the horizon. But God had different plans in store for these innocent souls. Prior to the cousin's arrival, a ray of light pierced through their despair. A local organization, committed to providing care and group homes for children facing similar circumstances, extended a lifeline to Ishya and Sanani. As Ishya's footsteps tread a new path, her brother Sanani was not left behind. The organization understood the importance of preventing future human trafficking by addressing the root cause—changing the hearts and minds of men in the country. By providing care and support to vulnerable boys like Sanani, they aim to create a society where the value of a girl's life is cherished, protected, and respected. The journey towards ending human trafficking is arduous, but these champions of justice recognize that true change began with the hearts and minds of their fellow countrymen. Through their unwavering commitment, the organization paved the way for a future where all children can live free from exploitation, their dreams soaring as high as the majestic peaks of the Nepalese mountains.
