Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
SCHOOLS4FREEDOM:IN 2023, VOICES4FREEDOM HELPED 2,190 ADDITIONAL PEOPLE TO FREE THEMSELVES FROM SLAVERY, BRINGING THE ORGANIZATION'S TOTAL TO 8,135. THE SCHOOLS4FREEDOM PROGRAM OPERATED 22 TRANSITIONAL SCHOOLS IN UTTAR PRADESH, INDIA IN 2023 (WITH 30 SCHOOLS HAVING ALREADY GRADUATED THEIR CHILDREN FROM THE PROGRAM AND INTEGRATED THEM INTO THE GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS). EACH TRANSITIONAL SCHOOL IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS FREEDOM FOR THEIR VILLAGE, IN WHICH 100 - 200 PEOPLE ARE ENSLAVED BY ONE SLAVEHOLDER. THESE TRANSITIONAL SCHOOLS HAVE A CURRICULUM DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO ENSURE THAT EACH CHILD IS CAUGHT UP TO GRADE LEVEL WITHIN 3 YEARS. ALL ADULTS WERE EMPOWERED THROUGH RIGHTS AND SKILLS TRAINING, ASSISTANCE IN ACCESSING EXISTING GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, AND GAINING A REGULAR AND RELIABLE INCOME SO THAT THEY NEVER FALL PREY TO SLAVERY AGAIN. IN 2023 WE CONTINUED WORK ON OUR PROGRAM TO EXPAND ANTI-SLAVERY WORK TO AN ENTIRE ADMINISTRATIVE BLOCK IN UTTAR PRADESH. THIS EXPANSION PROJECT INCLUDES 18 OF OUR SCHOOLS4FREEDOM VILLAGES, AND AT THE SAME TIME WORKS TO FREE AND/OR SLAVERY-PROOF ANOTHER 97 VILLAGES WITHIN THE BLOCK ALL AT ONCE. SLAVERY-PROOFING OF THE NON-ENSLAVED VILLAGES IN THE BLOCK ENSURES THEY CAN AVOID FALLING INTO SLAVERY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
EDUCATION & AWARENESS:VOICES4FREEDOM IS A KEY EDUCATOR ON MODERN SLAVERY AND SPECIFICALLY BONDED LABOR SLAVERY, WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOST PREVALENT YET LEAST UNDERSTOOD FACETS OF THIS HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE. VOICES4FREEDOM'S WEB SITE, SOCIAL MEDIA FEEDS, AND EMAIL LIST EDUCATE JOURNALISTS, STUDENTS, ACTIVISTS, DONORS AND OTHERS ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING AND HOW TO HELP TURN THE TIDE AGAINST SLAVERY FOREVER.
ASSISTING THE ANTI-SLAVERY MOVEMENT:VOICES4FREEDOM SUPPORTS THE GLOBAL ANTI-SLAVERY MOVEMENT THROUGH INFORMATION-SHARING AND COLLABORATING WHENEVER POSSIBLE. WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER.
