What we do
The SCOT Project stands for Stop Child Organ Theft. Our founder on one of his many trips to Myanmar in early 2018 found a small article in the Myanmar Times that mentioned an increase in human trafficking in Myanmar of women and children. Then on local Rotary advise was told the trafficking of children was becoming more frequent for the theft and transplant of their organs. The trafficking for children’s organs in Myanmar is a major issue for authorities who have little resources devoted to trying to stop this horrendous sickening practice. Parents who are extremely poor are offered USD $50 from “Child Traffickers” who say they will employ their child in a factory. They are told the child will send money home each month to help with family finances. The child is never seen again and will eventually be murdered for their organs. Those stolen organs will find their way into the China, Thailand, India or Singapore and sold for USD $150,000 to $350,000 to desperate wealthy parents who need an urgent organ transplant for a sick child. This is a Billion Dollar Criminal activity.
STEP In -STEP Up
On investigation into Child Trafficking in Myanmar, a connection was made with the STEP-IN STEP-UP (SISU), a Myanmar based not for profit organisation who started vocational training academy for young people in slum areas of Yangon. SISU offers skills to empower the local youth, enabling them to find valuable entry level jobs. The Vocational On-the-Job Training includes various entry level training for roles such as a Health Care Aide Workers, Kitchen Assistant, Restaurant Waiter, Hotel Guest attendant, Receptionist, Café Barista, Seamstress and Aged Care worker. As well as the vocational skills the students are taught office etiquette, English proficiency, basic computer literacy, customer service, and team building.
Through local village-led development and education, SISU aims to inform parents, teenagers and children of the trickery and conniving ways that Child Traffickers. SISU uses practical, grassroots programs and projects that inform, educate and spread the word about child traffickers. SISU primarily exist to serve the vulnerability and marginalisation people in Yangon Myanmar with a heavy focus on community- level work.
