Friends of BIZAA

Rescuing and providing education to child labor and trafficking victims are very important to us and our Friends of BIZAA. Our mission is to provide rescued children with primary and secondary education, and young adults with technical and vocational training that will give them a more hopeful future. How do we do it? We work to arrange education through sponsorship, generate micro-grant programs for families, and to increase our Friends of BIZAA membership.

Friends of BIZAA is a coalition of organizations, schools and corporations that work alongside us to end child trafficking. How can you help? Here are some examples:

 

BIZAA is in the process of developing educational curriculum for local schools and religious organizations within our affiliation, in order to educate our children about the significance of global solidarity and the problems of child labor, trafficking and domestic servitude in Africa.

Educational Programs in Progress

  • Primary and secondary school for rescued children of grade school and high school ages
  • Two year-skill acquisition/technical college for post secondary school age young adults
  • Friends of BIZAA educational program for local children
  • Self-reliance group educational program for parents of victims: a prerequisite for the micro-grant qualification
