COMPELLED

CHILD SPONSORSHIP AND SUPPORT APPROXIMATELY 23 MILLION PEOPLE ARE CURRENTLY ENSLAVED IN INDIA, NEPAL, AND BHUTAN. MOST ARE CHILDREN FORCED INTO BONDED (DEBT) SLAVERY, WITH MORE THAN 10,000 GIRLS AND WOMEN SOLD INTO SEX TRAFFICKING IN NEPAL ALONE. OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS, THE POVERTY RATE HAS HOVERED AROUND 80% IN SOUTH ASIA. AT COMPELLED, WE WORK TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY BY PROVIDING HOUSING AND SCHOOLING FOR ORPHANED CHILDREN, AS WELL AS EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES FOR COMMUNITIES IN NEED. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE INDIAN EVANGELICAL TEAM (IET), COMPELLED OPERATES SAFE SPACES TO CARE FOR ORPHANS, CHILDREN AT RISK, AND YOUNG ONES ABANDONED BY THEIR FAMILIES. COMPELLED ALSO WORKS DILIGENTLY TO SECURE ALTERNATIVE FORMS OF HOUSING FOR ORPHANED CHILDREN-WHETHER THAT BE WITH EXTENDED FAMILY MEMBERS OR IET MISSIONARIES. OUR COST TO SUPPORT A CHILD IS 20 PER MONTH. IN MOST REGIONS OF SOUTH ASIA, SCHOOL SUPPLIES, SUCH AS A UNIFORMS AND BOOKS, ARE REQUIRED FOR ADMISSION AND REGULAR ATTENDANCE. COMPELLED SEEKS TO REMOVE FINANCIAL BARRIERS FOR LOW-INCOME CHILDREN WHO WOULD NOT OTHERWISE BE ABLE TO ATTEND SCHOOL WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. OUR COST TO EDUCATE A CHILD IS 9 PER MONTH. COMPELLED SENDS TRAINED MISSIONARIES TO FORM CLUBS FOR CHILDREN LIVING IN URBAN SLUMS. EACH WEEK, A GROUP OF 60-200 CHILDREN ATTEND-LEARNING SONGS AND ENGAGING IN SOCIAL ACTIVITIES. AS TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS FORM, CLUB LEADERS ARE ABLE TO MOTIVATE THE CHILDREN TO GO TO SCHOOL, WHILE ALSO WORKING WITH THEIR FAMILIES TO PROVIDE A SAFE, ENCOURAGING ENVIRONMENT. OUR COST TO RUN A CHILDREN'S CLUB IS 60 PER MONTH.

MEDICAL PRACTICE AND EDUCATION IN ANY NATION, WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE MOST NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY POVERTY AND SICKNESS.

GOITERS, OR GROWTHS IN THE THYROID GLAND DUE TO IODINE DEFICIENCY, ARE VERY COMMON IN RURAL VILLAGES.
