RESCUING YOUNG GIRLS FROM PROSTITUTION IN NICARAGUA
Imagine
living your whole life in a dump: rummaging through garbage for food
and salvageable items to sell…sharing a wood and tin hovel with 15
members of your extended family…and, if you're a girl, selling your
body to incoming truck drivers for the right to rummage through the
garbage first.
That's the life that scores of
young girls in Managua, Nicaragua's landfill are living. It's a life
with no future…no security…no hope.
You can give
these young girls a future. By partnering with Forward Edge, you can
share God's love with the families and girls living in the dump, and
help develop a home-outside the dump-where they can get an education,
learn a trade, and grow up with an awareness of God's love for them.
FEI
has been sending volunteers to Nicaragua since the mid-1980s. Over the
years, we have built close, long-term friendships with some of he most
respected missionaries and national pastors in the country. You can
serve with FEI in Nicaragua by:
- reaching out to families and young girls living in the Managua dump
- serving at children's homes in the Managua area
- providing health care to poor families-in Managua, and on Nicaragua's Atlantic coast
- helping develop property that will be used for the planned girls' home
