Out Of The Slave Fields - Bruce Ladebu (Book)

The Children's Rescue Initiative (Donate)

----

At this very moment there are over 40,000,000 people around the world trapped in slavery. This is a number larger than at any point before in history… and perniciously, a figure that grows everyday. 

Millions among them are children. And then millions of those are living in the most devastating conditions imaginable. 

Bruce Ladebu runs an initiative called Children's Rescue where he and his team identify and then extract those very children living in the most destitute environments.

To date, the Children's Rescue initiative have rescued over 2,400 children.
