Milk & Honey Necklace
Moe Lay has been trapped in slavery all her life. At the age of 15, her virginity was sold to a brothel. At 19, she married a gambling addict who forced her to work in street prostitution. Then, in order to pay for medical treatment, Moe Lay needed to take out a loan and for 2 years, she was in bondage having to starve herself and her children in order to pay it back.
That was until she had the boldness and courage to tell him that she had already paid more than what she owed. It was as if the waters that had held her back suddenly parted and she could finally step into the ‘Promises of Hope’.
Our Exodus moment is closer than we believe, as we leave the slavery of our past, we are welcomed into a land of promise flowing with 'Milk and Honey'.
The mission of Eden Jewelry is to extend God’s love to people who have been trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation. At Eden, we care for the whole person: their physical, emotional, spiritual, economic, and social well-being.
Eden’s programs are based in South-East Asia which is host to more than half of the global total of human trafficking victims.
In 2014 Eden began its programs in Myanmar, a nation that has been a hotbed for human trafficking for years. Political instability, natural disasters, and internal ethnic infighting have led to a devastating lack of opportunity for the people of Myanmar.
Poverty and political unrest are at the heart of Myanmar's human trafficking crisis, which has only grown more severe over recent years. The economic collapse, brought on by the pandemic and political crisis, has exacerbated the level of human trafficking and the need for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other not-for-profit organizations like Eden to fill this void and provide essential support to victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
