Hagar USA is partnering with One Day’s Wages to provide support services for boys experiencing human trafficking and abuse in Afghanistan.
HAGAR USA + ODW
Hagar USA is partnering with One Day’s Wages, a registered 501(C)3 nonprofit organization that works to alleviate extreme global poverty, to provide support services for boys at the Boys Recovery Shelter in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Why Afghanistan?
Afghanistan is at the crucible of extreme poverty, economic disaster and protracted conflict. A shocking 86% of Afghanistan’s population is at risk for human trafficking and modern slavery. Poverty, lack of access to education, restricted mobility, and violence have increased vulnerability to exploitation, trafficking, and abuse. Children are often the most affected, with boys experiencing sexual abuse when forcibly recruited as soldiers, families asking their children to work or beg on the streets, and children being coerced to work in brick kilns. Young boys who experience trafficking, exploitation, and abuse face physical and mental health issues ranging from psychological disorders to sexually transmitted diseases.

Hagar’s Boys Shelter
Hagar’s Boys Shelter (also known as the Forgotten No More shelter) in Kabul, is one of the only centers of refuge for boys to heal and recover from the trauma of trafficking, slavery, and abuse. The shelter addresses the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of each boy who is referred to our care. At the shelter, boys receive comprehensive services, including case management, vocational training, art therapy, and medical care.
Through Hagar’s partnership with ODW, every donation you make through the donation form on the ODW website will be matched dollar for dollar by One Day’s Wages!
Your generosity will have an impact on dozens of boys recovering from trafficking, slavery, and abuse, and hundreds of their family members.
