#411: She Rescued 682 Children | Hannah Badi, CEO of Himalayan Entrepreneur Resources

She grew up in a community that Nepal doesn't count. Below all 126 castes. Girls in her village had no access to education, healthcare, or transport. From the age of 11, they were sold.

Hannah Badi was nearly trafficked at 9 years old. She escaped at midnight with 32 girls and a stone in her hand. She went on to rescue 682 children. Her sister is now a minister of Nepal.

This is one of the most powerful conversations Spencer has ever had.
