RIJI Green is having a holiday campaign for International Justice Mission (IJM). IJM is a non-profit organization combating modern-day slavery by prosecuting the perpetrators, providing aftercare for victims, and promoting functional justice systems. RIJI Green's holiday campaign goal is to raise $45,000 to fund IJM's 10 rescue operations freeing families from slavery. Its 21st century and slavery still exist victimizing men, women, children, and families.
How are families enslaved? When a family member such as a father, the head of the household gets sick and has no money to pay for a doctor, they would go to a loan shark. The family would ask for a small loan, which equates to $20.00US so the father could see the doctor. The family would sign a document promising they will repay the debt by working for the loan shark, but what they don't know from being illiterate is the interests and fees are so high, they could never repay their debt. Therefore generations of family members from grandmothers to granddaughters are enslaved. This is common in places like India, Pakistan, and others. In America, when we have debt, our credit scores goes down, but our livelihoods and freedom are not at risk.
In the spirit of justice and holiday giving, RIJI Green is starting our holiday campaign by donating 50% of our profits to IJM from now till November 22, 2009. RIJI Green will give 15% of our profits to IJM till the end of the year.
