GIRLS RESCUED BY ICA
In December 2006, ICA began our "Safe Campaign" by rescuing our first girl from the red light district. In March 2007, ICA opened our first home for young girls we rescued from sex trafficking in the red light areas of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. ICA now operates multiple Safe Homes internationally. Once they are rescued and taken to their new home, they receive food, shelter, emotional and spiritual counseling, schooling, vocational training, medical care and a spending allowance. Girls rescued by ICA range from 4 to 25 years old. Total girls in ICA Safe Homes include: 2007 22 girls in Ethiopia and 27 in Cambodia 2008 40 girls in Ethiopia and 27 in Cambodia 2009 51 girls in Ethiopia 2010 53 girls in Ethiopia 2011 More than 60 girls in Ethiopia In 2010, ICA bought property which was once used as a brothel in the red light district of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Mercy Chapel is being used as a church, counseling center and vocational training center for the tens of thousands of young girls forced to sell their bodies every day just to survive. In 2010, 44 girls received trainings and in 2011, 70 girls received trainings. ICA is now working to open a U.S. Safe Home. Click Here for more information. |
