Faces Behind the Label is recognizing the Face of Xiao Li, we are joining together with this organization to help them build awareness on wha they are doing by empowering young women that been caught up in being exploited as women in Asia.Xiao Li was raised in an impoverished family. With only enough money to educate one child, her brother was chosen to attend school. As a young girl, Xiao Li was forced to work. When she was only seventeen, her parents sent her out into a life on the streets. She was desperate and without hope until she was rescued by volunteers from the Starfish Project, she is recovering and transforming her hopelessness to HOPE.
Today Xiao Li is starting over in their shelter. Through our sponsorship program she is attending vocational school and learning computer skills.
She is very excited to finally be educated and have the opportunity to begin a new life.
