World Concern Global Free Them 5K

🏃‍♂️ HOW MUCH DOES IT TAKE TO BECOME A CHILD'S HERO?

• Participation: Showing up to run/walk the Free Them 5k + $25 = Protects one child and gives them a chance to have the life they deserve!

🤝 HOW YOU'LL HELP

• Funding Impact: Every $25 you raise or donate will protect a child in the world's poorest places from the threat of trafficking, child marriage, forced labor, exploitation, and abuse.
• Life Changing: You'll free them into the abundant life and future every child deserves – healthy, educated, safe, and free!

💰 WHERE AND HOW IS THE MONEY USED?

• Geographic Focus: Your registration fee or donation will protect children in some of the poorest communities in the world, primarily in Asia.
• Community Training: The money goes toward training in villages, so families and their children know the tactics of traffickers and learn to say “No.”
• Support Systems: It helps set up children’s clubs that teach kids their rights and engage them in meaningful activities after school.
• Hotlines: It provides “hotlines” where parents can call for help when their child is missing.

🌍 WHAT COUNTRIES ARE PROBABLE RECIPIENTS?

• Focused Nations: The nations where World Concern primarily provides child protection include Bangladesh, Myanmar, Laos, east Africa, and Nepal.
• Trafficking Corridors: The villages work in corridors where traffickers move through, looking for the vulnerable.

❓ HOW DO I KNOW WHAT MY MONEY MIGHT SUPPORT?

• Protection Training: Your donations bring training to families and children that protects them from the schemes of traffickers.
• Community Empowerment: Donations support community transformation that empowers families to earn a higher income through various training programs.
• Child Safety: This reduces the vulnerability of children, allowing parents to stay closer to home and keeping children engaged in school rather than work.
