CURRENT & ONGOING JUBILEE PROJECTS

FREEING CHILD SLAVES IN INDIA Jubilee Campaign works in partnership with Bombay Teen Challenge to operate a number of "Jubilee Homes" for the children of commercial sex workers in Mumbai, India, including an Orphan Home for children whose mothers have died of AIDS. We seek to rescue children who have been caught in Mumbai's thriving sex trade, and help them to make a new start. Many of the residents in the newest Jubilee Home (opened in early 2006) are HIV-positive themselves, and many have seen their conditions improve dramatically since coming to the Orphan Home.

AIDING VICTIMS OF PERSECUTION IN PAKISTAN Jubilee administers the Aid to Victims' Families Fund to assist the families of Pakistanis who have been murdered, incapacitated or driven into hiding because of unjust accusations of blasphemy. We cooperate in this effort with our partners in Lahore, Pakistan, the Centre for Legal Aid, Assistance and Settlement (CLAAS).

SPEAKING OUT FOR LIBERTY IN NORTH KOREA Jubilee Campaign staff members have traveled to Poland, the Czech Republic and South Korea to advocate for freedom in North Korea. Staff members have traveled throughout the United States to participate in advocacy and education events regarding human rights and religious freedom. Jubilee Campaign is a charter member of the North Korea Freedom Coalition, and has Most recently Jubilee Campaign delivered an intervention at the UN Human Rights Council on behalf of North Korean refugees.

ADVOCATING ON CAPITOL HILL Jubilee staff develop and maintain relationships with Congressional offices and executive agencies that focus on international religious freedom, and raise specific cases of concern before these offices on a regular basis. Staff members participate in a number of high-profile coalitions and working groups to multiply our efforts to bring justice to those suffering in silence around the world. Jubilee Campaign organizes rallies, press conferences and Congressional hearings to highlight the concerns of various groups.

CARING FOR ORPHANS IN INDONESIA Along with our local partners, Jubilee Campaign operates the Caleb Chandler House, a residential facility for children orphaned in the sectarian violence in the late 1990s in the Maluku Islands of Indonesia.

LOBBYING AT THE UN Jubilee Campaign has consultative status with the United Nations, and has participated in the annual meetings of the UN Human Rights Commission. Although the Commission was dissolved in 2006 and replaced with a Human Rights Council, we intend to maintain ties with the new body and utilize our special status to raise issues of human rights and religious freedom before the international community whenever possible.

TRAVELING ON FACTFINDING MISSIONS One of the key aspects of fighting injustice is getting your facts straight. Jubilee Campaign is dedicated to staying informed firsthand of the plight of those who are oppressed in various countries of the world. We continually travel to the countries where our projects are located, conduct numerous interviews, take photos, and release reports on conditions affecting the Christian community and oppressed children in each country. Representatives of Jubilee Campaign have visited Brazil, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Laos, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam to investigate religious freedom and human rights abuses firsthand, and have circulated reports on our findings to relevant government officials.
