Vulnerable children are caught in labor trafficking

In Ethiopia, many children tragically become victims of labor trafficking. A network of recruiters often lures children from rural or poverty-ridden areas to Addis Ababa, with the promise of a salary and an education.

Yet, while these children are given work, it comes in the form of abusive and exploitative situations, such as domestic servitude or unsafe manufacturing or factory settings.

Launching the Ethiopia Youth Resilience: Child Labor Response Program

Advocate

Partnering with the Ethiopian government, we’ll advocate for the creation of a child protection welfare system that protects the rights of children. There is no law to protect child domestic workers in Ethiopia.

Build capacity

Our Ethiopian staff will build capacity around local administrators, offering training and screening tools for law enforcement to identify vulnerable, trafficked children.

Help children

Over time, we’ll identify an increased number of children caught in the labor trafficking system and provide family-based care.

How you can help

In addition to capacity building and advocacy, the Ethiopia Youth Resilience: Child Labor Response Program aims to provide direct services to 160 child workers, but it will cost Bethany $58/month. Will you help keep children out of labor trafficking and equip them for success?
