ADRA also provides a warm & loving shelter of refuge, psycho-social support, and educational opportunities for those at high risk resulting from abject poverty. abuse, abandonment, and parental deaths from HIV/AIDS.

This project is making a tremendous impact - sheltering around 30 girls who have been abused or are at high risk of being tafficked, as well as educational scholarships and community awareness raising activities to reduce the risk of children being trafficked. The reach of this project is to around 6,300 people. Due to the financial crisis it is in serious need of funds to be able to continue. Please help if you can.
