Our Attention Turns To Street Girls

Our Attention Turns To Street Girls


SGU has started a new program to rescue girls that are living on the streets.

It is much harder to locate girls as they are quickly scooped up by wicked men and trafficked

into force labor and sexual exploitation. Fred & Quinto search the streets at night to rescue

young girls that may be selling their bodies to earn money. These girls are required to give the

money to men who control street children to make a living. In return for their earnings, the

men provide the girls with a "safe" place to sleep but the girls are then also sexually exploited

by these men and the street boys. Fred & Quinto located one little girl in January who had been

sent away from home by her grandmother. After learning that her mother had died, Fred and

Quinto were able to find her father. After speaking with the father about the situation, Fred

placed her back in her father's care.      

 


Fred wrote:

"On the streets, we have been able to identify four more girls. One we have placed back with her family.

Nancy, Esther and Miriam are at Uncle Fred's House while a home investigation is going on. Two of the

girls were working at a small hotel in town and were both sexually abused. We had them tested and both

are cleared for HIV and AIDS. Esther however suffers from malaria often. Miriam was placed in our care

after being notified by local police that a very young girl was spotted on the streets. All the girls have

started school this week. Esther is going in primary five and Nancy and Miriam is in primary one."
