Give Freedom - 100% Funding Model

Thank you! Your generosity today will help provide security measures that will keep trafficked women and children safe from harm. All Australian donations are fully tax deductible—and 100% will go directly to the field.

Give Freedom’s program focus is infrastructure and capacity-building work, known as The Pokhara Project, in partnership with 3 Angels Nepal. While all proposals reflect the final intent for the Pokhara Project, the changing needs of our Field Partner, the budget available and the complex nature of international development projects mean adaptations to the Pokhara Project may need to be made from time to time to achieve the best outcomes for our Field Partner, 3 Angels Nepal, at any given time. Give Freedom International reserves the right to make adaptations to the Pokhara Project to respond to these needs from time to time. 

Read full disclaimer.

While every endeavour is made to ensure price points accurately reflect program costs, fluctuations in exchange rates, cost of building materials and unforeseen global events may impact the financial cost of implementation. Therefore, all funds raised will be pooled to cover The Pokhara Project development as a whole. 

Please note that a limited proportion of these funds may be directed to disaster relief and other emergency support for our Field Partner prior to the completion of their new facilities. We guarantee that 100% of your gift goes to the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hidden
Hidden to keep accordion closed.
What threats do women and children face?

Rescued women and children continue to face threats of violence and abduction even once inside the four walls of the haven and children’s homes. Their freedoms to move around are restricted as traffickers watch over the homes and prey on their vulnerabilities.

On top of this, there is the cruel stigma attached to these women and children as victims of sexual exploitation and trafficking, which makes them potential targets for violence in the community months and years after their trauma of trafficking is over.

How will The Pokhara Project protect women and children?

The Pokhara Project addresses the need to protect all those being cared by, and working for, 3 Angels Nepal. There will be a dedicated guard house, staffed 24 hours a day to monitor the movements on and off the site.

CCTV will be installed, along with a retaining perimeter wall, to keep those inside safe and to deter potential traffickers from entering.

The land on which the facilities are being built is also outside of the main city of Pokhara, meaning the women and children will be less vulnerable to threats from the public as they go about their daily lives.

Will these measures be enough?

We believe these physical measures will ensure the staff and beneficiaries of 3 Angels Nepal will remain protected and safe.

Alongside these, staff at 3 Angels Nepal constantly educate their beneficiaries about the dangers traffickers pose, both physically in person and lurking in the online space. These measures combined mean the women and children have the best chance possible to live their lives free from fear.

Protection is one of the seven key international development objectives of The Pokhara Project. This life-changing venture will also include a self-funding school, vulnerable children’s homes, a women’s safe haven and a community medical centre, all designed to bring new life and hope back into the lives of those who were trafficked.
