Rescue & Rehabilitation

13 minor girls rescued from trafficking and placed in safe housing.
Survivors received psychological counselling, legal assistance, and medical care. One survivor filed a police case, resulting in 4 arrests and closure of a dance bar. Girls were enrolled in vocational training (tailoring, beauty care, computer skills) and formal education through the Grace Institute.

Education & Prevention

9 awareness programs conducted.
3 school programs (including “Good Touch, Bad Touch” sessions for ~300 students). 5 church-based community programs.
1 public street campaign.
20 education scholarships granted to girls from trafficking-prone areas. Research and surveys conducted to identify trafficking patterns and root causes.

Key Outcomes

Increased child safety knowledge in schools.
Survivor-led justice demonstrated.
Expanded program reach due to community feedback.
Strong local partnerships built with the government and NGOs.
Awareness campaigns prompted community engagement and volunteer interest.

Challenges Faced

Police resistance and logistical blocks delayed some rescues.
Limited office resources impacted full operational capacity.
Cultural pushback on discussing trafficking, especially in schools. Children’s disclosures during programs required rapid emotional support.

880 total beneficiaries.
225 new males, 450 new females.
285 direct + 595 indirect.

A Note of Impact

We believe that through these awareness efforts, we’ve planted the seeds of prevention, empowerment, and community vigilance – essential pillars in the long-term fight against human trafficking.

Come on the Journey with us

Investing in girls’ education is one of the most effective strategies to combat trafficking. Empower HER Nepal operates a scholarship program that provides a protective pathway for young girls in Nepal, giving them the tools to change their lives and, ultimately, their communities. $70 a month gives one girl in Nepal everything she needs to stay in school - fees, supplies, uniforms, transport, hygiene essentials, plus mentorship and life skills. We focus on girls aged 8–18 in trafficking-prone, low-income communities.

We’re aiming to raise $25,000 to give 30 girls the chance to learn, grow, and shape their own future.
