Sponsor A Human Trafficking Victim

Human trafficking is the fastest growing crime in the world. Many millions are enslaved around the world while in India alone it is estimated that 3-500,000 children are in slavery.

Many of these children are exploited in the sex trade. A child victim of human trafficking is any person under 18 years of age who is recruited, transported, transferred, harboured or received for the purposes of exploitation.

We are thankful for sponsors who envisage a very different future for these children. We currently have 45 children and young women in care who would otherwise have suffered an unimaginable future.

In response to the child trafficking crisis, HOHI is involved in three main areas:

Prevention: We support projects that protect vulnerable girls from being trafficked.

Rescue: We support partners who rescue girls from sex slavery.

Recovery: We support young girls who have been rescued by providing a safe loving environment for them to heal from their trauma, trained carers, therapy, education, vocational training, and social skills training to empower them to transition back into normal society.

Sponsor a victim of human trafficking and help rescue a child from a tragic future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why donate to HOHI?

HOHI is managed by a great team of volunteers and has only one part time paid office administrator. With low overheads of 10% for administration and 7% for compliance, HOHI ensures that 83% reaches the children and women in need. HOHI also provides the possibility of contact with your sponsor child through letter writing or a video connection. Some sponsors also join a team that visits the various projects.

Where does the other ±10% go?

There are always costs involved in managing not for profit organizations. HOHI employs an administrator who manages sponsorships and the HOHI office. There are costs involved in media, insurance, phones, communication with sponsors, etc. We are careful to ensure we are good stewards with every donated dollar.

What percentage of funds go directly to the needy?

For most projects, 90% of donated funds go directly to the needy. In rare cases, that percentage goes down to 83%. Our aim is to keep that number as high as possible.

Feel free to contact us directly if you have further inquiries on this matter.

Would my donation be tax-deductible?

Tax deductible receipts for gifts over $2 will be issued by Global Development Group for GDG/HOHI partnered projects. Excess funds may be directed to another approved project activity. Homes of Hope International is a partner for Projects in India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Kenya with Global Development Group (ABN 57 102 400 993).

Won’t we always have the poor with us? How can my donation possibly make a difference?

The problem of world poverty is enormous and can often seem unconquerable. Looking at the overwhelming nature of world poverty can be discouraging. However, by approaching the problem one child at a time, lives can be saved. By sponsoring a child today, you are giving hope to one person, helping take away their suffering and offering them a better life. We change the world one person at a time.

How long will my child sponsorship last?

Children will remain in a HOHI sponsorship programme until they turn 18, or are adopted, or until we find foster care for them, or until they graduate from college or with other qualifications and can be employed. We understand that sometimes the financial situation of a sponsor changes, and they are no longer able to continue sponsoring a HOHI child. If your financial situation as a sponsor changes, we ask that you contact us as soon as possible.

Can I correspond with my sponsor child?

Your letters are most welcome. Please contact the HOHI office for more information if you would like to write a letter to your sponsor child.

Aren’t I already giving to the poor through the taxes I pay to the Australian government?

The Australian government gives 0.4% of its budget to international aid. The UN recommended percentage of a country’s budget allocated to international aid is 0.7%. The Australian government falls short. Even if the Australian government could reach this standard, it would not be enough to eradicate poverty. We need your help to break the cycle of poverty.
