…could give vulnerable children in Tanzania somewhere safe to go when they need it most, by keeping a social welfare desk open in a bus terminal for two weeks.
This Christmas, parcels will change hands... so will children
Every day, vulnerable children are moved through transport networks by those keen to exploit them. We’re there to stop them.
Reaching children before the danger does
Around the world, children like Priya*, Callum* and Amina* are being used, moved and passed on by adults who see vulnerability as an opportunity for child exploitation.
And the danger is increasing.
Vulnerable children are being targeted in more places and at greater speed, using the transport network that allows exploiters to move children easily and disappear quickly.
But only if they get there first.
Exploiters turn children into commodities. Your gift keeps them children.
…could protect children at stations in India by enabling an outreach worker to spend a week identifying vulnerable children and directing them to the right support.
…could protect vulnerable young people in the UK, by funding an outreach worker for a day to spot those at risk and work with communities to keep transport networks safe.
This Christmas, will you help us reach more children before exploitation does?
Whether used for:
Exploitation often leads children to transport networks.
But transport networks also provide a vital opportunity for us to intervene.
Through training transport staff to notice the signs of child exploitation, positioning our outreach workers in stations, and working in partnership with local police and government, we can reach children before the danger does – which is why we always have and always will focus our safeguarding on the transport network.
But we need your help to be there for every child.
