200-300 girls from the sex trade

I recently had the privilege of interviewing David Batstone – founder and President of Not For Sale.  My favorite part of the interview and this partnership ($25,000 to build a Border Outpost between Nepal & India):

By funding and creating this border outpost, we’ll be able to help anywhere from 200-300 girls and young women from the sex trade and give them the possibility of earning their own day’s wages and lives of dignity.

Learn more about this project and partnership.

Here’s one girl that was rescued from the sex trade: Her name is Poonam. She was 14 when was abducted but now works as one of the border guards to prevent other girls from being trafficked.

    David’s book (Saving the Corporate Soul) was one of the catalysts for my journey back to business school. That’s awesome you got to meet him.
