Mushroom farming is an easy to learn skill that pays big dividends
Would you please think about this? Assume you are a young woman forced into prostitution because it is the only way you can support your family. (This is a fact for at least 90% of the girls working the “sex trades” in Cambodia). You want to get out, but how? Have someone raid your brothel, arrest the pimps, prosecute the owner, and put you in a rehabilitation center that broadcasts all over the internet that they rescue prostitutes? Who would want that?
None of these girls are proud of their past. They need a place where they can be loved, accepted, forgiven, and enriched. We do this by teaching them a trade that will replace the income they lose by exiting the sex trade. We operate like Alcoholics Anonymous. The young women’s past is never mentioned, and she learns like all the other older youth in our homes how to make a living with something like mushroom production, fish culture, and aquaponics.
