The Freedom Fund (https://freedomfund.org/) identifies and invests in the most effective frontline efforts to eradicate forced labor and human trafficking. We select key geographic areas – our hotspot projects – known to have high rates of exploitation, and where our interventions are most likely to have the greatest impact.
The Freedom Fund and its local partners in Nepal are presently implementing a three-year program to significantly reduce the prevalence of agricultural bonded labor in Nepal and support survivors to achieve sustainable freedom. As part of the program, the Freedom Fund will be executing a livelihoods program among the Harawa-Charawa, communities we are currently working with, to support them in securing decent work and to sustain a future free from exploitation.
The Freedom Fund anticipates this to be a ten-month project, with work commencing in August 2023 and a final report due in June 2024.
