Women and Children Advocacy
Meeting The Need
When she heard about Nepali girls being trafficked into prostitution in India, Ling knew she needed to do something. In 1999, she moved from her home in Malaysia to begin working with the girls and women and providing a home of safety and acceptance to them, the Sharan Home. She specifically reached out to those who had contracted HIV/AIDS and welcomed them with their children.
Ling believes that it is only through a holistic approach that the women will be able to remain healthy longer and "embrace life" despite their disease. Thus, she provides medical, financial, emotional and spiritual support to those living in the home, but also pays weekly visits to those who are too sick to come. She sees the education of their children as a priority and is commited to ! nding “funding for the children’s primary and secondary education so that they can break out of the cycle of poverty and have hope for a better future" (WCAC).
Ways to get involved:
