MEET A young man who benefitted FROM THIS PROJECT:

Htut was only 10 when he left his home for work along the Myanmar-Thailand border. He met a broker who persuaded him to cross the border to work in Thailand for more money. He spent years working in dangerous conditions, with few rights or even pay. After more than 4 harrowing years working against his will on a fishing boat, he was finally rescued. World Vision through the End Trafficking in Person programme is assisting Htut to reintegrate into life in Myanmar, a country he hasn't seen in over 10 years. Htut's story
