LIFE FOR THE INNOCENT
Life For The Innocent (LFTI) partners with a rescue network and local authorities in South Asia to intervene for children trafficked for sex, labor, or organs. After every rescue, intake services are provided through local agencies, including medical examinations and identification documents. Every child is placed on the Missing Child Registry to locate family members who may be looking for them. When this intake process is finished, the team transports children to LFTI’s homes in South Asia, providing a safe place to heal and grow. In short, LFTI rescues children, restores hope, and renews lives.
HEARTFELT HUGS by Madelene Cares
This amazing non-profit was started by Madelene Kleinhan when she was 10 years old.
