Help Stop Human Trafficking Through Buying Christmas Gifts

NightLight is a ministry that is helping women and children get out of human trafficking. Their vision is to enable women and children to escape sexual exploitation and empower them to live and work in community.

One of the things they do is teach women how to make beatiful jewelry. They provide them with a job with benefits and share the love of Christ with them.

If you’re looking for a nice Christmas gift, consider buying jewelry handmade by these women in Bangkok. You will not only have a great Christmas gift, you’ll also be making a difference in the lives of women and children overseas.
