What it reported doing in 2024

Narimon Program/Community Center Bangkok- Provides women who have left the Thai sex industry a way to earn income while maintaining their dignity. This program provides alternative income-producing opportunities for women and girls who either once were forced to sell their dignity or are at high risk for doing so. The scale of this program was greatly reduced in 2024 to include a few women creating handmade products that they could be proud of. The products (mostly scarves) are sold primarily in the United States in conjunction with public awareness programs that encourage prayers and local law enforcement action against the Thai sex trade. The shift in product emphasis from jewelry towards scarves, convenience snack food products sold locally begun during 2018 has continued during 2024. The primary local sales venue is the Coffee Shop ministry site. Use of this easily accessed ground floor site has led to growth in both the coffee shop and a spiritual outreach through Glass of Cold Water house church.
