Dear Friends,
Thanks to your support and prayers, JVI is deeply impacting communities through strategically located Justice Hubs in high prevalence areas for human trafficking and extreme injustice. Govind and his wife Lata were rescued, along with 125 others, from bonded labor in a brick kiln as a result of the proactive work of JVI’s Justice Hub in Bihar, India.
Govind and Lata lived in a small village in Jehanabad, Bihar, where they worked as daily wage laborers. Their family did not own a house and lived with one of their relatives. With mounting pressure from those relatives and a third child on the way, Govind began looking for another job with more stable income. Govind came across a job at a brick kiln in Rohtas, Bihar, around 100 miles from his village. He was promised good wages, a place for him and his family to stay and other basic facilities. Govind considered himself extremely fortunate to find this job so they relocated to Rohtas in the hope of a better life.
However, once settled at the brick kiln, life was not what Govind imagined.
