Guest Speaker: Joel Oliver from Destiny Rescue
Joel works with Destiny Rescue, whose goal is to “rescue children from sexual exploitation and human trafficking and help them stay free”.
Here is a little more about the organisation. Destiny Rescue is a global Christian non-governmental organisation (NGO) that has restored hope to thousands of children enduring sexual exploitation and human trafficking through rescue operations and reintegration programming operated in regions throughout Africa, Asia and Latin America.
By building strong partnerships with government entities, law enforcement and like-minded organisations, we continue to expand our work and offer freedom to children in need across the globe.
We’re so grateful that thousands of survivors have bravely accepted that offer and are continuing their journey toward freedom.
Rescue alone doesn’t ensure freedom.
Post-rescue, a survivor’s next steps are determined based on his or her unique situation, including the vulnerabilities that led to exploitation and local legal procedure.
When a child enters our care, we carefully address each unique vulnerability that led to her exploitation.
Each survivor enrolled in our programming receives support to return to school or achieve financial independence. During their enrolment, children participate in dynamic trauma resilience training and hear the saving message of the gospel.
