National Assistance Trust Fund for Victims of Trafficking (NATFVT)
In 2023, we worked with migrant labour survivors through economic reintegration. empowerment and Kwale, Mombasa, and Kilifi Counties were the first beneficiaries of funds from NATFVT in Kenya, which saw 16 labour survivors trained in Business start-ups and given funds to establish businesses. They are now running successful businesses (fish, juice, gas, tuktuk) which are constantly monitored. 16 survivors benefited from the Trust Fund in 2023.
This initiative which started in 2014 has now been registered as a CBO - Survival of Hope Initiative and has over 18 migrant labour survivors. It is based in Kilifi County where many victims of labour migration are found. The main activity of this CBO is awareness creation on matters of immigration, human trafficking, and child rights in the rural community and schools.
