Every day, children between the ages of 5 and 12 are sold into sex trafficking. Help us fight back.
Nepal's sex trafficking crisis ranks among the worst globally, with tens of thousands of children sold into sex work each year. These children are forced to serve from 3 to as much as 40 men per day. The average life expectancy of these girls and boys if not rescued is just 34 years.
Our WorkIt is estimated that over 1.2 million children globally are trafficked annually. The number increases each year.
Some of the youngest victims of sex trafficking are only 5 years old. Their average lifespan is 34.
These children are forced to serve an average of 14 clients per day. Some as high as 40.
Project Saved stands against the scourge of child sex trafficking in Nepal. We fight this crisis directly through preventative operations, targeted rescue operations, post-rescue care, and educational support to empower survivors to rebuild their lives.

God's children are not for sale.
Project Saved is dedicated to rescuing children from human trafficking in Nepal and across the world. We conduct rescue operations, provide immediate care and shelter, and offer long-term rehabilitation and education to empower survivors and those at risk with a brighter future.
You can support our mission in various ways: by donating funds, volunteering your time if you're in or near Nepal, raising awareness in your community, or advocating for policy changes that protect vulnerable children. Visit our "Get Involved" page for more information.
100% of every donation directly supports our rescue missions, safe houses, medical care, psychological support, and educational programs for the children we save and protect. We ensure complete transparency in our operations and spending, so donors know the impact of their generosity.
Currently, we are in the process of finalising our charity status in the USA, UK, NZ and AU. Once complete, all contributions from these countries to Project Saved will be tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law. We provide receipts for all donations that can be used for tax purposes.
We prioritise the safety and well-being of every child we rescue. By providing immediate medical care, psychological counselling, and education, we not only address their immediate needs but also work towards their long-term recovery and integration into society. Our team are trained to handle the sensitive nature of the trauma children and young adults have experienced, ensuring a nurturing path to healing.
