"You will walk the line soon."
This sentence fills the minds of countless young girls with horror, as mothers, older siblings, fathers, and uncles explain that they will have to prostitute to help the family survive. Girls are as young as nine. Girls with no education, no job opportunities and no way out. But there’s an organization that’s fighting this sexual exploitation in a unique way - with hope.
Head First Development is a not-for-profit working to create permanent change in regions where poverty cripples communities. They provide a three-pronged solution that provides a few with an escape from poverty and sexual exploitation. They have a sustainable development model that gets locals involved with helping locals, changing the lives of generations of women and children.
This model can work in many poor communities. MModern Marketing is proud to partner with Head First Development to help create a light that drives out darkness, and you can help too. Contact us to find out how your business can join the global fight against human sex trafficking.
