Yonas Tesfay & Josiah Carter share their experiences dealing with the complex issue of modern child slavery and explain how their organizations are finding solutions through social entrepreneurism and sustainable practices.

Yonas Tesfay is director of Hope for Children in Ethiopia, a community-based organization which works side-by-side with community members to provide holistic care and support for children.

Josiah Carter works with Beza Threads, an organization that partners with victims of slavery to support them in a journey toward independence and personal stability.
