Freedom Project

Freedom From Child Trafficking in India

The Freedom Center Project in India reaches out to dalit children and orphans who are trapped in slavery and to those in danger of being sold as slaves, forced into prostitution, or other heartbreaking and horrifying circumstances in India. ICII's reason for the Freedom Project is to educate the children about the dangers of sex trafficking, forced labor, and other cruel forms of slavery inflicted on the young, and innocent children in India, and to teach them ways to defend themselves against these harmful practices. ICII is currently running eight “Freedom Centers” in different areas in the state of Tamil Nadu where around twenty-five children are able to come and study in classes five evenings a week. These poorly-educated children are learning the fundamentals of reading and writing, and how to avoid those who kidnap children for trafficking. The children also get a rice meal or a hard-boiled egg to give them strength, since most of them have very poor diets. Many of the children have received Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and have a new hope in their lives they never thought was possible before.
