Why we're different
Most programs end after 2 years. Ours doesn't.
When we tracked what happened to children after rescue, we found that support usually stopped long before independence did — leaving them exposed all over again. So we built a different model. Children stay in our care from the moment they arrive until they can support themselves. For some that's three years. For others it's a decade.
Where they are now
Sampson earned his commercial electrician's license.
He finished his training, passed his first exam, and is now someone our field team relies on to help the students coming up behind him.
Our Campus in Sogakoe
Built with Project Redwood — and partly by the students themselves. Housing for more than 50 young people, a communal kitchen with potable water, outdoor green space, and two classrooms. It means we can take a child in the week they're freed, rather than the month.
