Since 2010, Urban Light has been helping boys walk away from a life of abuse and exploitation in the red light districts of Chiang Mai, towards a future of freedom and hope. Our work is at a critical stage. Boys are finding jobs outside of the boy bars and keeping them. Boys are entering and thriving in the UL Transitional Housing Program. Boys are growing in confidence and self-esteem and are acquiring life skills that give them an opportunity to chart a new course for their lives. Here is a snap shot of the tremendous success we have had in the past 5 years transforming and empowering hundreds of lives! We hope you will walk with us in 2014 as we continue to make epic strides! Thank You!

“This winter, I traveled to Thailand to volunteer with Urban Light. Boys are not often recognized as victims of sex trafficking, so I was thrilled to work with an organization that recognizes this aspect of the issue. It was an amazing opportunity, and deepened my passion for fighting human trafficking� ~Stephen Warner Huffington Post , College Edition (Pictured here with Founder.
