FOR FREEDOM INTERNATIONAL

For Freedom International's primary focus for ministry growth and impact has been in the development of the Vocational Training Center in Phuket, in Partnership with local Thai churches. Funds were sent to fund a social worker to administer our Child Advocacy program to train students and teachers in preventing sexual exploitation, rescuing victims of child labor and sexual abuse and exploitation, and maintaining a foster care system in cooperation with the local church to care for children rescued from exploitation. For Freedom International made donations to For Freedom International Foundation to support on-going programs related to the rescue and rehabilitation of exploited individuals as part of our stated objective to prevent exploitation, to assist those who have been exploited, to rehabilitate and retrain them for careers in baking or salon work. payment for maintenance of a safe house, to provide a place for rescued individuals to safely stay during their time of recovery, rehabilitation, and re-training, making possible the freedom to move past the exploitation and forward to safe and productive lives.

For Freedom International contributed funds to For Freedom International Foundation for the support of the new intelligence department's anti-trafficking efforts and to further our mission to identify trafficking operations, to rescue their victims, and to keep them safe while they recover and are being rehabilitated and re-trained for productive work in our bakery and salon. Spektor forensic software was purchased by For Freedom International and given to the anti-trafficking work in Thailand for use in identifying traffickers and bringing them to justice.
