Tiny Hands International

Tiny Hands is an local organization in Lincoln that ministers to orphans, street children and victims of the sex trafficking industry in Nepal and India. They run several homes to care for orphans and street children as well as “Princess Home” which is a home for women rescued from the sex slave industry. These homes provide opportunities for education, job training, spiritual discipleship and most importantly the opportunity to be loved!

Tiny Hands also maintains border monitoring stations along the Nepal/India border to intercept women who are being trafficked into India.
Check out these statistics:
* UNICEF estimates 1 million children are forced, sold, abducted or coerced into the commercial sex trade industry each year.

* 50% of all trafficked victims worldwide are children

* 200,000 persons are trafficked into, within or through India annually

* Only 2,000 girls are rescued from sex slavery each year in India

* 40,000 trafficked Nepalese children work in prostitution in India

* The average age of the girls intercepted at the border in 2008 was 13 years old.

The average cost to intercept a woman/girl at the border is $95.00. For less than $100 you can make a lasting difference in the life of a woman/girl you may never see, but God knows her name! You have the chance to save her from an existence that many would consider hell on earth.
