THREADS OF HOPE!
Threads of Hope is a non-profit Christian organization whose mission is to give help and hope to children at risk!
Human trafficking and sex trafficking including prostitution is a daily reality in the Philippians and around the world. As a result of poverty living situations, families are forced to sell children into prostitution. In addition, tourist areas are becoming an area in which human trafficking is prevalent.
The purpose of Threads of Hope is to assist the economically oppressed in underdeveloped countries to establish home enterprises that will provide an income, through the development of products that can be sold world-wide. Funds generated through sales and donations are used to help meet the physical, educational and spiritual needs of the communities where the products are made.
Our Purpose: to keep families from having to resort to self-destructive means of providing for themselves, and to give them a future and a hope.
Our means: providing a market for these home businesses.
Our resources: people… countless individuals give selflessly of their time to ensure better opportunities for those who are less fortunate.
