NASTYA MAKHOROV, 16, IS ON OUR CAMP WAITING LIST

Girls ‘age out’ of their orphanages at 16, 17 years old and according to MN News, by the time they’re 18, almost 60% of those girls are involved in the sex trade.

NASTYA MAHKOROV, 16, (L), & HER THREE FRIENDS – ANNA, KATYA, NATASHA – ON FRONT ROW OF OUR MONTHLY OUTREACH AT BASAN ORPHANAGE
At 16 years old, going on 17, orphan Nastya Makhorov becomes a potential target for Eastern European human traffickers.
