About the SOLD Project

The SOLD Project is a grassroots organization dedicated to inspiring and empowering individuals to stop child prostitution before it begins.

The SOLD Project prevents the buying and selling of children through scholarships to those at risk. It supports partner organizations in Thailand that work to rescue and rehabilitate at-risk children.

The film tells stories of the children and allows those stories to inspire individuals to react.
