Why people should give?
People should give in order for MALHY to continue to provide resources, free of charge, to youth and young adults aged 10-25. The services MALHY provides include counseling/therapy sessions, addiction recovery program, human trafficking awareness events/recovery/temporary housing, youth literacy programs. Human Trafficking cases are ranked #1 in the State of California compared to all other States, with Riverside County being a major hub of transportation/recruitment. The victims are either coerced into forced labor, sexual exploitation, or both. The average age of human trafficking victims is 12 years old. Help us reduce the risk of our youth and young adults from being victims of human trafficking and provide recovery services free of charge to the victims.
