Every year in Thailand, thousands of young, innocent girls are taken from their rural families in the northern part of the country. Hill tribe villagers are very poor and especially vulnerable, and girls from these ethnic minority groups are sold into prostitution for as little as $100 per little girl!

However, ADRA (Adventist Development & Relief Agency International) is there! Through ADRA’s Keep Girls Safe project, ADRA provides at-risk girls (those living in poverty in rural regions) with nourishment and educational assistance so they can remain in school, and it provides a home for those who can no longer remain at home because of the risk of being sold. Because these girls are no longer a burden, their parents will not be forced to sell them to make ends meet.

Please pray for these young girls and their families, as they daily struggle to live and remain safe. Pray, too, for ADRA and the ADRA workers as they work with the Hill tribe people to keep girls safe!
