Of the 29 million people who live in Nepal, nearly half live in poverty. But the country is trying to fight back. Police recently busted a network that was trafficking people into neighboring India for the illegal sale of their kidneys. Producer Zeba Warsi traveled to Nepal, including a district known as the Kidney Valley, to examine the ramp at human trafficking and meet the men forced to live a sort of half-life, with just one of their two kidneys. • Zeba Warsi: Working as a tea boy was not part of the dream, but 19 year old Santosh is not where he wanted to be, and he's not who he used to be. He is always reminded of what stolen from him by his scar. His body has to adapt to just one kidney. Santosh, Victim of Organ Trafficking (through translator): They must be punished for this. My body is damaged, I faint. I can't do hard labor. And I find it difficult to stand for too long. • Zeba Warsi: In June, men came ...

[emailprotected] Do you know your kidney could be worth Sh12.57m ($ 150,000) in the black market? Before you sell your kidney to get some quick cash, be very worried. Before you get into that flight, to go abroad, where a sponsor has gladly agreed to foot the costs, as well as pay you loads of money, be afraid. Vulnerable and alone in a foreign country, on top of a surgery table in a backstreet hospital, under anesthesia, they might not only harvest one kidney, they might harvest both kidneys, your liver, your pancreas, your lungs, your eyes, and if there is a ready customer, your heart too. Facing grinding poverty, some Kenyans have willingly offered to sell their kidneys. The spread of illegal organ sales world over has gained momentum, being abetted by the Internet, a global shortage of organs for transplants and, in some cases, unscrupulous traffickers ready to exploit the economic misery. They will post their details online, seeking customers. The customers will then contact the young money hungry sellers, organise for transport and accommodation to countries like Pakistan and India, where the organ will be harvested, but very few Kenyans eve...

KAVREPALANCHOWK, NEPAL — As Gyan Bahadur Ramtel, 35, lifts a bucket of pig feed, he cringes in pain. “I told you not to lift heavy things,” his wife, Mandira Ramtel, shouts at him, taking the 10-liter (2.6-gallon) bucket from him. He has been in pain since 2011, when he says he was coerced into donating a kidney. That year, he travelled to Punjab, India with his friend, Pralhad. In India, during a night of drinking, he says, his friend told him that a type of “minor surgery” could fetch him 10,000 Nepalese rupees ($96). He says he told his friend he was interested in learning more. But when he woke up the next day in a hospital bed he was confused and alarmed. “When I found myself in a hospital bed, I thought I was suffering a disease,” he says. As he opened his eyes, he says, Pralhad and a group of men he describes as goons were standing in front of him. He says Pralhad told him that doctors were performing a blood test, but wouldn’t say why. When the men left the room, he says another patient told him what was really going on. “Slowly, [a young man] approached me and whispered in my ear. He told me, ‘Run away from here because they are preparing to remove your kidney,’” he says. “I tried to run away from the hospital many times. But I got caught each time.” He says Pralhad and the group of men would not allow him to leave, and hospital staff seemed unaware of the situation. He would not reveal the name of the hospital. There were many other Nepali men in that hospital wh...
