Refuge Egypt will distribute more than 8,000 food packages to hungry families...and up to 1,500 people will receive clothing.

It’s a big work, but a necessary work…

Mumbai is often a stopping point for so many south Asian women who have been trafficked out of their countries and into the sex trade.

They feel, and they are, trapped. Interserve workers, co-operating with Oasis India, are actively engaged in rescuing and supporting these women. Oasis runs drop in centres for women who feel the need to escape from what they are forced into. Many of the women become believers, but remain trapped. Interserve workers are a source of hope for these women, and their children.

Interserve ambassador Tabitha Webb visited Mumbai in January. Watch here her workshop for these women.
