JAYA SHATTERED

At just 14, Jaya’s life shattered. Poor and illiterate, her family faced a financial crisis.  In desperation, they decided Jaya was their only hope. Practicing an ancient ritual, they decided to dedicate her to sexual slavery, subjecting Jaya to a horrific life of prostitution and abuse. She would become the property of her village. Her destiny? To be used by any man, anywhere, any time for the rest of her life. 

JAYA RESCUED

Thankfully, DFN was able to stop her dedication. Our team got Jaya to a safe place where she would no longer fear being awakened in the middle of the night by self-seeking men. In our shelter she learned to sleep peacefully as counselors gently worked the demons from her fears and prayed love into her soul. 

JAYA RESTORED

Jaya refused to let her past determine her future. As her heart healed, so did her mind. Through our network of schools, she graduated from high school, earned a college degree and completed teacher’s training.

TODAY, SHE THRIVES

As a teacher at one of our schools Jaya uses her voice to empower other young women. She wants girls to grow up free from the risk of slavery and free to dream. Today, Jaya fights for others the way others fought for her.
