Emmanuel Masih & children

First generation family enslaved for 20 years

Update September 9th 2023: Emmanuel and family have been rescued from slavery!

Emmanuel worked as a farmer and saved enough money to buy a house for his family. But, someone cheated him in the transaction and he lost the home and his savings. He entered a long period of depression over the loss. During that time he had to take a loan out from the brickyard owner. Thus entering into indentured servitude. In the intervening time his wife died. As of this writing, he and his son (24) and his daughter (19) make bricks at the brickyard.

Cost of Freedom for Emmanuel & Family:

$1300 USD - Debt to the brickyard owner

$2000 USD - Establish a financial footing

$430 USD - Funds transfer costs through Action Ministries International

$3800 USD - Rounded up total (to provided a some contingency funds)
