MAITI NEPAL : maitinepal.org

120,000 young Nepali girls (aged 7 – 20 years) are trafficked each year for sex slavery.

Once liberated they are rehabilitated, shelter and educated with income generating skills until they are ready to stand alone ☆

Sonya learnt of this charity from Vanya, an inspiring young Indian girl whom she met trekking the same Himālayan trail with her family. Being a fellow artist Vanya admired Sonya's scarves and modelled one for her. As she posed Vanya spoke of personally raising £4,000 for Maiti Nepal founded by her teacher Anuradha Koirala, who frees Nepali girls from Indian brothels for a mere $20 each.
