John,

She was only 13 when her own sister sold her into the brothels of the famous red-light district of Mumbai.
 
Kalpana* was trapped in that horror for some 25 years.
 
But our Asha Nepal team has spent years reaching out to the area. They developed a relationship with Kalpana, and it was clear that she wanted out. She simply didn’t know how to escape — and how she could possibly live any other life.
 
Today, thanks to the strong support of friends like you, Kalpana has a new life, living at Asha Nepal.

• Every evening, she joins a fellowship group at the house.
• She has a new family here.
• A teen orphan girl calls her “Mother.”
• And she calls the girl “Daughter,” fulfilling her dream of being able to mother a child.

Your love is reaching from generation to generation, offering restoration and hope for the future …
 
And saving the lives of survivors like Kalpana!

Your 2020 launch gift today will go further than ever before, because our new “mission control” center, the Shared Hope Institute for Justice and Advocacy in Washington, D.C., is now open and operational.
 
We’re working more efficiently and effectively. We have greater influence among the powerbrokers and decision-makers of our nation’s capital. Our work overseas has momentum.
 
The tide is turning.
 
But there is much, much more work to be done!
 
As you stand with us now, you will help accelerate all our critically important work together to eradicate sex trafficking and restore survivors.  Thank you for giving today — to launch a new year of ministry to victims like Kalpana!
 
Linda Smith
Founder and President
