One of the organizations that Stop Traffick Fashion supports is Hagar International.

You can have your gift to Hagar doubled if you act now. Global Giving is an online program that promotes world-wide projects.  They have offered to match every dollar donated to Hagar. The opportunity continues until March 27th, or until Global Giving’s match money runs out.  About 30 other projects are included in this promotion, so we hope you will act fast. In addition to matching every dollar received, Global Giving will give an additional $5000 to the project that attracts the highest number of donors (through March 27th). With any size gift, you can help Hagar get that prize. Currently Hagar is in the lead!

By donating now through Global Giving, you will support the project “Restoring Hope to Trafficked Girls in Cambodia.” This ‘double your money’ opportunity couldn’t come at a better time. Due to funding shortfalls caused by the global crisis, they may need to temporarily close one Aftercare Center.  The 25 girls from backgrounds of sexual abuse and trafficking would be cared for through other Hagar projects, but uprooting them is not ideal.  Please take advantage of Global Giving’s generous offer, and help keep Kampong Thom Aftercare Center operational.

By responding now, you will help girls like Sokey:
Sokey was living in a remote village at age 12, when a relative suggested she be sent to another province to work as a domestic helper. Her parents agreed, as she wasn’t attending school, and perhaps she would get more to eat. They didn’t expect that after two weeks she would be sold into a brothel. When Sokey was first rescued, she was taken directly home. Heavily drugged and very traumatized, she just sat and stared into space. Her parents thought she was crazy and took her to a human rights organization, which referred her to Hagar. Sokey is now doing well at the Kampong Thom Aftercare Center. She doesn’t want to move, even if its temporary.

Help Hagar make the most of it. It’s an easy way to get double the impact from your gift, of any amount. We hope you’ll act fast.
