About The #100in100 Challenge

Nicky Mih

“I believe that children should be in schools not brothels. By participating in The #100in100 Challenge you’ll be helping to secure a child’s safety and education. The challenge starts on the perfect day 1 June, Free To Shine’s 8th birthday and International Children’s Day.”

Nicky Mih has a background in psychology, teaching and coaching. But now, she’s a woman on a mission: To prevent children being trafficked into the commercial sex industry, a mission set for her by survivors themselves after she spent a month with them 8 years ago. As the founder and Managing Director of Free To Shine, Nicky leads a team of Social Workers and Education Officers who work with girls to secure their safety and achieve their rights to be free from slavery, access education, safe drinking water, enough food and adequate shelter. Nicky and her team work closely with police, community leaders, councils and schools and have kept more than 700 girls across 50 rural villages safe, while also maintaining a strong family-based care model.

Adam Houlahan

“I support a number of causes that are doing important work to improve the lives of people in need across the globe. Free To Shine is by far my favourite, Nicky and her team literally save lives and are making a dent in the abhorrent industry that is sex trafficking. Supporting the #100in100 challenge as an Ambassador this year was another way I could support Free To Shines important work and aligns meaningfully in itself with my beliefs around connection. ”
