São Paulo, Brazil – Lilia Redemption Foundation today announced it helped more than 10,000 children across South America and the Middle East youth (ages 2-12) escape Human trafficking and gain the knowledge, skills and credentials to succeed in school, work and life. Lilia invested in or led efforts to serve small children imprisoned in their homes and those who were rescued from undisclosed areas, ensuring that they received necessary medical care and training for success in school and ultimately the workplace to set them up for productive futures.

“The Lilia Snapshot demonstrates our progress against some of society’s toughest problems that prevent young people from gaining the skills and training they need to be relevant, get on a healthy life track and secure successful futures,” said Mary Shafik, Director of Lilia. “To make our children strong, to provide safe environments where everyone can thrive, we need to continue working together to ensure our children emerge in the workforce ready, physically, emotionally and psychologically to compete in the fast-changing world of work and aim for success.”

  • 3,863 affected children received primary medical care
