MILLSTONE is a human rights and child protection agency that desires to shift the world's at-risk children from danger to destiny in Ghanna.

It is estimated that more than 1,000 child slaves are working in fishing villages throughout Ghana. In recent years 63 Ghanaian children--mostly girls--had been trafficked to neighboring African countries to use as sex slaves and domestic workers. Recently, there was a raid exposing and rescuing 864 child slaves from various districts in Ghana. Among these were 407 girls and 457 boys.

Millstone has a 3-fold vision which includes:

1)Victim Prevention: with local governments making legislation proteting at-risk children from exploitation while bringing exposure and conviction to perpetrators.

2)Victim Relief: Through investigation and rescues of exploited children from the womb to 18 from child prostitution, slavery, pornograph, trafficking, and ritualistic abuse.

3)Victim Aftercare: Through establishing healing centers -- as well as destiny centers -- where victims of exploitations can receive treatment that will euip them, holistically preparing them for a successful life.
