Help Carmina fundraise for Child Rescue

The child sex trade is one of the darkest realities still present in our world today — something nobody should ever have to endure. Every child deserves freedom, safety and a life without fear.

I have been privileged to be Miss Philippines-New Zealand 2024 and the Mutya ng Pilipinas NZ 2025 titleholder, and with that comes a platform for good. It has been placed it on my heart to forward my advocacy for freeing children from trafficking— with or without a crown. It's all too easy, for those of us fortunate enough to live in countries where this fear isn't part of daily life, to overlook just how severe and widespread the illegal sex trade remains abroad.

It's with both humility and pride that I'm raising funds for Child Rescue, a New Zealand-based charity working to bring freedom to children who deserve nothing less than love, respect and dignity.

Every donation, big or small, matters and is deeply appreciated. Together, we can be the hands and feet of God, bringing light into the darkest of places.

"Do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these."
