Satya: India, Bangladesh & Nepal
Since 2011, we have supported Satya, a full-time coordinator dedicated to combating trafficking and forced prostitution across India, Bangladesh, and Nepal.
A Lifelong Mission
Satya has been a close friend of David and Margaret Allis since 1990, when they served together in Kolkata. Over the decades, he has devoted his life to supporting mission teams and organizations working on the front lines of the sex trade.
"His work often involves travel to remote areas and places him in opposition to dangerous and powerful individuals, making it a mission that carries real personal risk."
Core Focus
Empowering Local Mission Teams
Satya focuses on equipping and supporting staff and volunteers from multiple organizations rather than working directly with survivors.
Rescue & Repatriation
-
• Rehabilitation Homes:Safe spaces for women and children leaving prostitution.
-
• Family Reunification:Helping survivors return home across state or national borders.
-
• Border Clinics:Healthcare and job programs for women returning from trafficking, particularly those who are HIV-positive.
