The UN estimates that around 700 children are saved from child trafficking each year in Myanmar. These are the lucky ones, the others numbering in the thousands that disappear from families, mothers, schools and neighborhoods will never be seen again. The Military Government do nothing to control this criminal activity. And the problem is growing as child organ theft is now valued in Myanmar at over a Billion US dollars a year.
Our
Work
The SCOT Project was founded by Rotary Club of Essendon to help reduce child trafficking for organ theft in Myanmar (Burma). This is the priority in all we do. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, our partners and our corporate benefactors we work to positively change the lives of children who would otherwise be trafficked and murdered for their organs. Those who we are able to assist, find strength in the fact that people like you, our sponsors, help them to build better lives with purpose.
Our connection with the STEP-IN STEP-UP (SISU), a not for profit organisation in Myanmar is the foundation of our assistance to the young people of Myanmar. We take a two-step approach to our project involvement. First, we seek out community-driven training initiatives started by local people to benefit their communities and improve young people’s quality of life. Second, we review our fundraising in a sustainable, accountable, and responsible manner. To this end, we keep our communication with our sponsors and donors at the forefront of our work.
