CNN's Nkepile Mabuse reports on how a US man has found a way to use second hand bras to help young girls break free from a life of abuse in Mozambique.

RELATED

Dave Terpstra was living in the US when he first learnt about the sex trafficking problem in Mozambique.

He began collecting second hand bras, which are a luxury item in Mozambique’s used clothing trade, and donated them to former trafficking victims to sell.

The project is providing a real job to the former slaves who are earning up to three times the minimum wage.
 
The income is providing them with the ability to support themselves and their families and to stay off the streets.
