Campaigns
In 2008 we were
pleased to become a member of the major global coalition Stop the Traffik, working with organisations
worldwide to bring an end to the trafficking trade. We enjoy funding support from the following companies:
Ramboll Whitbybird is one of the UK's leading engineering companies and sponsors our Christmas cards so that 100% of the purchase price goes directly to our work in Nepal. We are delighted that Ramboll Whitbybird staff also represent us in The London Marathon.
Hatti
Trading which was founded by former EBT Kathmandu volunteer, Emma Triplett.
Hatti Trading sells a range of exclusive designer handbags that are made in Kathmandu by former
circus girls and other victims of human trafficking. A proportion of her profits and customer
gifts are paid into the "Hatti Fund" which goes directly to our projects in Nepal
The Emancipation Network does exactly the same for us in the USA and accepts general donations from US supporters towards our work.
Namaste-UK has been supporting us financially for several years and is likely to become another client for quality goods
made by trafficking victims in Kathmandu.
If you are in Kathmandu, and in need of some good reading material, you could do a lot worse than pay a visit to our friends at Quixote's Cove. You will even find a mosaic there made by some of the girls we have rescued.
Help support the campaign against internet child pornography simply by lighting a candle.
