I've mentioned earlier the work of Freeset in Kolkatta, India, who provide work for women who've been trapped in the sex trade. They were featured on National Radio a couple of days ago! Listen here to a half-hour interview with one of their Kiwi staff :-)
They're currently fundraising to buy a new building in order to considerably expand both the scope and depth of their work. If you haven't already donated, please consider doing so. They'll be purchasing the building at the end of this month, using a mix of donated money and loans, but the more they are able to pay up-front the better for them.
(NB They don't seem to be doing updating the 'thermometer' on the donations page very often - I heard from one of their founders today that they've currently raised 50% of what they need, not the 40% it says on the thermometer).
