Support a survivor's journey to reintegration

GLAD TO BE BACK HOME. 

 One survivor summed up the experience with a heartfelt reflection:

"Nothing beats the taste of freedom, good sleep, and a homemade meal," she said, while preparing food at the shelter. Around her, the shelter filled with quiet whispers, laughter, and sighs of disbelief—signs of healing beginning to take root.. 

Project Report – GlobalGiving

Project Title: Restoring Dignity and Independence for Survivors of Human Trafficking
Implementing Partner: HAART Kenya

Introduction

During this reporting period, HAART Kenya supported 153 survivors trafficked to Myanmar for forced criminal activities. The group, made up of both men and women aged between 20 and 50 years, was safely repatriated and provided with essential care to begin their journey to recovery.

Challenge

Survivors of trafficking often endure profound trauma, facing severe psychological, medical, and economic challenges. Without structured support, rebuilding their lives becomes extremely difficult.

Solution

This project delivers integrated, survivor-centered services. These include:

• Psychotherapy for emotional recovery
  
  
• Access to medical care
  
  
• Economic empowerment through skills training

Impact SummaryImmediate Support (Post-Repatriation)

• 153 survivors received personalized support including meals, clothing, and basic necessities
  
  
• 24 individuals accessed emergency medical care
  
  
• 153 received psychosocial first aid, with 58 continuing with structured therapy
  
  
• 48 survivors were housed in safe shelters 

• Legal aid was provided to those seeking justice and protection
  
  

Family Reunification

 With the donations from the GlobalGiving 12 survivors were successfully reconnected with their families, a crucial step in their emotional recovery.

Long-Term Impact

This project lays the foundation for long-term autonomy and dignity restoration. By equipping survivors with therapeutic care, healthcare access, and marketable skills, we empower them to live safe, independent lives—free from exploitation and with renewed hope.

Conclusion: Why Your Continued Support Matters

Thanks to donations through GlobalGiving, HAART Kenya has delivered life-changing interventions for 153 survivors of human trafficking. Every counseling session, every medical treatment, and every skill taught brings a survivor closer to recovery and independence.

But we cannot stop here. Many more survivors still need our help.

Your continued support can restore lives. Help us give more survivors the dignity, freedom, and future they deserve.
