Movement: The SOLD Project

An estimated 2 million children, the majority of them girls, are sexually exploited in the multi billion dollar commercial sex industry. – UNICEF
Child prostitution is a huge problem. The Sold Project is aiming to stop it before it begins. They're doing just that by raising money to keep kids from Northern Thailand in school, so that they don't have to travel to the cities for work, where they'll most likely end up in the sex business.  They're a small grassroots organization armed with statistics, a passionate crew, and a new film, The Sold Project Thailand. They haven't reached the size of one of my other favorite charities Invisible Children, but they're off to an amazing start, and I can tell they're going to be big. Change the world big.
