You can help protect a child from being exploited
In Thailand, girls are expected to be the breadwinners in their families. If they can’t afford an education, that often means they will spend their entire life in the area’s booming sex industry.
But girls aren’t the only victims of this culture. Boys suffer, too. If a boy’s mother is a sex worker, she often has to bring clients home, which can be emotionally scarring for a young boy and put him in danger as well. Plus, boys who live under these conditions become numb to the sex industry and are more likely to become pimps or abusers themselves.
Your donations during Night of Freedom will help support two children’s programs in Thailand dedicated to helping protect children from being exploited by the sex industry. Both centers provide a safe place for boys and girls to receive a quality education while being cared for in a loving Christian environment.

It serves the families the of the Bang Na slum community, which is home to about 2,500 people. Trapped by extreme poverty, many women in the slum are forced to work in factories during the day … and Thailand’s sex industry at night. While they work, their children are often left alone, at risk of exploitation. The Concordia Daycare Center provides a safe haven for these kids and helps them learn early on about the importance of education as well as the love of Jesus. The building is also used as a community center for older children, families, and the elderly on the weekends.
Chiang Rai Children’s Homes
The isolated mountain villages in Northern Thailand are home to some of the country’s poorest families. Children from these villages have few educational opportunities and are extremely vulnerable to being exploited into human trafficking and the sex industry. These two children’s homes provide safe housing as well as schooling for 50 boys and girls so they can follow their dreams and live a life of freedom. The staff also works closely with the children’s families and the local community to ensure the children’s spiritual, emotional, and physical needs are being met.
