We propose training and equipping survivors of human trafficking and labor exploitation to become culture and language tutors, so that they can prepare refugees and asylum seekers in Hong Kong for home country reintegration.

This innovative approach would create an empowering peer-to-peer learning environment and a synergy between the two flagship Branches of Hope (BOH) programs. The project responds to increased forced repatriation cases from the government’s removal policy, and will ease the transition home for displaced families through cultural and language training.

Simultaneously, it provides migrant workers development opportunities through training with corporate volunteers and delivery of language and culture classes.
