The Freedom Fund currently has programs in India, Ethiopia, Thailand, Nepal and Myanmar. Established nearly 5 years ago, the Freedom Fund currently supports and funds over 100 organisations in these countries, the vast majority of which are frontline, community-based NGOs. It also works to influence global policy by commissioning and sharing research and amplifying the voices of its partners.
The Ethiopia program was launched in July 2015 and currently works with 12 local implementing partners. To date, the program complements existing efforts to promote safer migration and reduce the vulnerability of potential migrants and returnee women and girls to trafficking to the Middle East for domestic work. The program will now expand to include projects to prevent and address child domestic servitude within the country as well as a sustainable employment project for female survivors of trafficking.
