and children that have been trafficked
(lotusoutreach.org). Human trafficking is
prevented by enrolling at-risk children into
schools and by providing transportation to
their schools (lotusoutreach.org). Had this
transportation not existed, these now
students would have had no way to get to
school, and would be isolated in their town. If
a woman or child is trafficked, it works as a
safety net, and gives victims a safe place to
live, as well as food and water. It also gives
these unfortunate people the resources they
need to get through their tough time, such as
social help in the form of counseling and
someone to talk to (lotusoutreach.org). The
care they give to at-risk people and
the formerly-trafficked, allows them to feel a sense of love that is much
needed when they feel vulnerable.
Finally, Lotus Outreach gives the less fortunate opportunities to succeed in
life. The opportunities come in many different shapes and sizes depending
on the individual. For some, these opportunities are college scholarships
given (lotusoutreach.org). This enables the individual to become more
confident with themselves and to become successful financially in life. For
others, this opportunity could be overall sanitation (lotusoutreach.org). In
these third world countries, sanitation is dismal, and with little money in
donations, the people of India and Cambodia will have access to clean water
from deep-bore wells. Clean water is essential for human life. This allows
people to drink without worrying about diseases and can be used for
washing clothes.
All the individual things Lotus Outreach does for Cambodia and India allows
for better education, better opportunities, and better sanitation. But, really,
what it’s doing in these countries is really setting them up to become more
modernized and hopeful for a better future altogether.
