WSH: Desperation Attracts Deception – Asha’s Story

Desperate for a better future, Asha was scammed while seeking work abroad but found hope and support at our Women’s Safe Haven and Vocational Center.

For US$100/AUD$140 Ruth’s life was saved. Here’s her story:
“Hello, my name is Ruth and I’m 15 (real name withheld). I was born into a very poor Nepali family. My father was often drunk and would hurt me. I decided to go to India to find work and a man I didn’t know said he’d find something for me to do. I trusted him. When I was on my way to India, 3 Angel’s Nepal staff interviewed us at the Nepal/India border and I came to realise that this man had planned to give me to people that wouldn’t treat me very nicely. I’m very thankful that I was rescued. As I didn’t have a good environment at home to return to, I was taken to a safe house and I’m now being counselled, trained and given opportunities to learn skills such as sewing, tailoring, cooking and computers.”
