The Idea

In Thailand, The SOLD Project works with children at risk to prevent human trafficking & child sexual exploitation. This summer, we want to train the children in our prevention program to lead human trafficking awareness courses for their community & local schools.

The Specifics

Since 2007, The SOLD Project has been preventing human trafficking & child sexual exploitation in Thailand through education & community development. In the past, we’ve worked with a local organization to host human trafficking awareness programs at our Resource Center. At this summer’s biannual Parent Meeting, we’d like to hire our partner to train the older girls in our program to lead the awareness courses themselves. With this grant, The SOLD Project will be able to host trafficking awareness events for the entire community, purchase costumes & sound equipment, & train our students to take a peer-to-peer trafficking awareness course on the road to 2 – 5 of their local schools, reaching hundreds of at-risk children. Thanks for your vote!

Having seen the work Sold are doing first hand and being involved in working with young people at the other end of the human trafficking/child prostitution spectrum (who are embarking on the long slow process of rehabilitation after many years of trauma and exploitation), I can't speak highly enough of this work or encourage people enough to get involved with Sold! Awareness programs in at-risk communities is CRITICAL if we are going to see change!

I am so SOLD on the work of SOLD. Having seen first hand the work that is being done and also being involved first hand at the other end of the human trafficking/child prostitution spectrum (aftercare/rehabilitation), I can't speak highly enough of the incredibly valuable work being done by SOLD. Get on board! Take action! Get involved!

The SOLD Project has given me an amazing opportunity to invest well in the future of under-privileged youth in Thailand who are at risk. The programs are intelligent, challenging, and sound. I am very proud to support them.

The amount of human trafficing that is occurring is beyond what we can imagine. We need to expose it and begin to expose those who are doing the trafficing, educate the world and save the girls and boys being stolen.

Thanks to everyone for all of your support thus far! This program would be extremely influential to an area at high-risk of trafficking and the funding would allow us to sustainably expand beyond our community to other schools and villages. We appreciate all of your support!

The SOLD Project is a respected and energetic program, and the best part of the idea in training these children is that, not only will it spread awareness and knowledge children and community members can use to protect themselves from being trafficked for sex or labor, it empowers young women to play a leadership role and perform a service, giving back to their local communities. Your vote can have a potentially boundless impact!

I didn't know what to expect when I saw the first awareness course visit the village, and I couldn't believe my eyes! Everyone in the audience was listening carefully and the organization putting on the event was performing some really funny sketches that had everyone laughing. (See photo above!) It would be awesome to see them train our older students to really own this part of our program and take it to their schools. What an efficient and effective way to get the message out there!
