Shelter Starts With Freedom

Someplace warm and dry to sleep. It’s a basic necessity. But traffickers don’t care. They force the enslaved into ramshackle conditions fit for animals, not people. Your support of Free the Slaves changes that

I’ve seen firsthand how shelter begins with freedom. On a trip to rural India, I secretly visited slave quarters that were simple mud huts with straw roofs. A few hours later, and not far down the road, was a village your donations have liberated. The difference was stunning — brick houses and a sturdy school.

When people are free and can earn a living again, they invest in better food, clothing, health care and housing. That makes them less vulnerable to re-enslavement. Your support helps rebuild their lives so that no one can ever take their freedom away again.

Please take a moment to make or renew your annual year-end investment in freedom for all.

Thanks.
