Why we're different
Most programs end after 2 years. Ours doesn't.
When we tracked what happened to children after rescue, we found that support usually stopped long before independence did — leaving them exposed all over again. So we built a different model. Children stay in our care from the moment they arrive until they can support themselves. For some that's three years. For others it's a decade.
Where they are now
Sampson earned his commercial electrician's license.
As a child, Sampson survived severe abuse and forced labor in Ghana's dangerous fishing industry. Rescued in 2012 and supported by Breaking The Chain Through Education (BTCTE), he was provided with a safe home, rehabilitation, and an education. Today, Sampson has completely transformed his life, earning his commercial electrician's license. He now supports his family, recently led the wiring of a BTCTE housing project to give back, and is a vital resource the organization's field team relies on to help guide the students coming up behind him.
Our Campus in Sogakope
Built with Project Redwood — and partly by the students themselves. Housing for more than 50 young people, a communal kitchen with potable water, outdoor green space, and two classrooms. It means we can take a child in the week they're freed, rather than the month.
