Wanjiku, restored 2022.
From the markets of Delhi to a classroom of her own.
Wanjiku was thirteen when a trafficker offered her family money to send her to Mumbai for "school work." She landed in a market stall instead, locked in at night, beaten in the day. A neighbour spotted her through a window and called our Delhi intake line.
Within six hours she was in our shelter. Within six months she was reading again. Within eighteen months she was reunified with an aunt who had been searching for her since she disappeared. Today she is fifteen, in Form Two at a county school, and wants to be a nurse.
