In the notorious Svay Pak area of Cambodia, an estimated 70% of children are exploited through commercial sex. Agape International Missions (AIM) is working hard to change this. AIM’s on-site school offers certified teachers and the promise of a high school education for Svay Pak’s children. However, maneuvering through the streets of Svay Pak by foot is treacherous for a little one.

Thanks to 56 End Crowd members and one generous matching sponsor, Clarity Technology Group, AIM was able to purchase a van on March 26, 2015 to help students get to and from school safely and escape the cycle of sex trafficking.
