In 2006, our family friend, Evan Robbins, started Breaking the Chain Through Education (BTCTE), a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to eradicating child slavery in Ghana, Africa and to helping victims of trafficking achieve long-term success and independence.

BTCTE's unique mission is to care for formerly trafficked children until they become self-sufficient adults. The charity funds the children's tuition at any level (elementary through university) as well as vocational training programs or apprenticeships. BTCTE also provides assistance with housing, food, clothing, school supplies, tutoring, emotional support and medical expenses.

 

New Jersey Jewish News even featured BTCTE in a cover story on February 2, telling the story of the organization's founding, growth, and impact. Click HERE to read the article. 

 

For my Bat Mitzvah project, I have chosen to sponsor Mary, a 12 year old girl, one of 90 formerly trafficked children currently being cared for by BTCTE.
