27-year-old Aba discovered that her nephew had been trafficked into slavery and rescued by the team at Challenging Heights. He had no other family to come home to; Aba made a meager income buying and selling fish and was financially overwhelmed with caring for her own five children.
Challenging Heights decided to do something about it.
We discovered that she never made enough money to buy fish in large quantities, so her profits stayed small. Aba enrolled in our children’s rights training and Challenging Heights provided her with a small micro-credit investment. She then…
Bought larger quantities of fish
Sold more
Made a larger profit
Used the money to enroll her kids in school
Used the money to enroll her nephew in school
Opened a savings account
Protected her family from the threats of child trafficking
Aba now belongs to our Women’s Economic Empowerment Program and continues to seek ways to improve upon her business and promote the rights of children in her community. Her nephew found a new home with his family.
We couldn’t be more proud to be an ongoing part of her story.
