Protect

We work with brave souls who have survived the harrowing ordeal of human trafficking, providing trauma-informed care thus helping them rebuild their lives in our shelter and Children's Homes and in their communities and with their families while protecting them from those who would seek to exploit them further.

Prevent

Human traffickers exploit the most vulnerable people, looking for targets who have lost their parents or  desperate to earn a living or not old enough to know better. We use multiple methods to pinpoint and prevent trafficking before it happens and educate the public on the signs.

Prosecute

We have advocated since our inception to support change to the laws in Lesotho to prosecute human trafficking effectively, and we have dedicated employees who work with the police to ensure traffickers must answer for their crimes.

BDS 15 yrs Banner

Justice and Opportunity for All

We believe in justice for every victim and opportunity for every child. With special attention to the well-being and value of women and girls who often bear the brunt of disease, political unrest, and inadequate legal protections, we advocate and educate communities about the value of women and girls in hopes that one day, we won't be needed. Our dedicated team works alongside local authorities and our Police Advisors to ensure that traffickers are prosecuted and held accountable for their crimes. This rigorous pursuit of justice not only brings relief to survivors but also strengthens the legal framework against trafficking in Lesotho.

Our work is fueled by the belief that every person deserves to live a life of dignity and beauty, free from exploitation and fear. The support of our global partners and individuals like you is vital to our mission. By donating, sharing our story, or volunteering, you join a community committed to making a significant difference. Together, we can continue to fight against human trafficking and transform lives, one beautiful story at a time.

Join us in our mission to restore lives and lift Lesotho. Your support helps us continue our work and spreads hope and change across communities.
