For lasting impact
Empower a survivor
30 Years of Changing Lives
Over 40.3 million people are trapped in modern slavery, with women and children suffering the most. Since 1994, HAGAR has helped survivors in Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Singapore rebuild their lives through healing and economic independence.
Thanks to our faithful donors, thousands now live with dignity and purpose. But the work isn’t over. Join us to Empower A Survivor and help create a future free from exploitation.
Empower is a monthly giving programme. Your monthly donation goes towards individualised care for Hagar clients in the form of trauma recovery, safe accommodation, healthcare, education, economic empowerment and community integration. Each life transformed creates a ripple effect, impacting 4-6 others in their household—bringing change that lasts for generations.
Together, we can bring healing, freedom, and new beginnings. Will you join us?
Sreypov
28 years old, Cambodia
Sreypov lost her parents at a young age, leaving her to care for her three younger siblings. Referred to Hagar, she and her siblings were placed in foster care. Battling lupus since childhood, Sreypov faced life-threatening organ failure and underwent multiple surgeries in 2016. Despite her illness, she clung to her dreams of attending university, courageously balancing intense post-op treatments with her studies, all with Hagar’s unwavering support.
Today, Sreypov is a teacher, a powerful community advocate, and a leader in Hagar Cambodia’s mission to combat modern slavery.
Luka
(pictured right with his former Hagar counsellor)
22 years old, Cambodia
Luka and his five siblings grew up in poverty and violence in his family. When he was eight, Luka and two siblings were sent to an unlicensed orphanage, where he endured four years of violent abuse before the orphanage was shut down, and the perpetrator imprisoned for life.
Referred to HAGAR in 2013, Luka received shelter, counselling and education support, helping him heal and rebuild his life. Now in his second year of an IT scholarship, Luka serves in his church and volunteers with HAGAR, inspiring others and advocating for change. His transformation is a testament to resilience and the impact of Hagar’s care.
Why give monthly?
Lailuma
35 years old, Afghanistan
Lailuma’s dreams of studying were shattered when the Taliban took control in 2021, restricting women’s rights. In desperation, her mother sold her to a shopkeeper, where Lailuma endured domestic servitude and violence.
HAGAR’s support transformed Lailuma’s life. Through counselling and vocational training in the Rebuilding Livelihood project, she found healing and purpose. Today, she leads the thriving Dashte Barchi tailoring cooperative, empowering women and expanding into new markets. Once a victim, Lailuma is now a beacon of hope, inspiring others to rise above adversity and pursue their dreams.
Mi
39 years old, Vietnam
Desperate to provide for her two young children, Mi fell prey to traffickers who lured her with a fake job offer and sold her into slavery in China. After enduring years of abuse, she miraculously escaped through a chance encounter on social media. HAGAR provided psychological support and helped Mi rebuild her life. Through a goat-rearing initiative, she successfully grew her flock fourfold, creating a sustainable livelihood.
Today, Mi is a proud advocate for HAGAR, courageously sharing her story to prevent others from being deceived. She works tirelessly to give her children a brighter future, ensuring they receive an education and a chance at a better life.
