Help NGO Purnata rescue children from horrors of red-light areas and give them urgent care

“Preeti (name changed) was just six when she was brought to Mumbai and only nine when she was sold into Kamathipura’s red-light area. We rescued her a few years later, but by then, she had already endured unimaginable trauma. Her stories broke my heart. That’s when I resolved to dedicate my life to ending the trafficking and exploitation of children,” says Aaboo Varghese, who left a successful corporate career to take up this fight. 

“Preeti tragically lost her life years later to HIV, a result of the abuse she suffered as a child,” Aaboo shares

Aaboo has dedicated his life to saving children from the horrors of red light areas, but he can not do it alone. With your support, he can bring freedom and light into the lives of many more unfortunate victims of child trafficking. Support him now!

A crisis of mammoth proportions

The scale of human trafficking is something most people cannot even imagine. “Every day, about six children are trafficked. This is a fast-growing business because unlike anything else, a human being can be sold over and over again. It is alarming and heart-wrenching,” Aaboo shares.

But no matter how daunting the task might be Aaboo has made it his life mission to see the fight against human trafficking till the end. 

Living in a hell on earth

“The abuse young girls face in red-light areas is beyond comprehension,” Aaboo shares. “These young girls are robbed of their innocence and their childhood. Traffickers beat them with rods, burn them, and mutilate their private parts just to break them. Children are kept in separate apartments where multiple men abuse them and get addicted to substances”, Aaboo says. 

Through his NGO Purnata, Aaboo is on a mission not just to rescue the victims from red-light areas but also to rehabilitate them and give them a fresh start in life. 

To date, he has saved 85 children and 60 women from red-light areas, but for him, the job is far from over. Aaboo has dedicated his life to this cause. Your contribution can strengthen his efforts. Donate generously!  

What your donations can do

Your support can enable Aaboo to strengthen Purnata’s on-ground outreach programmes so that they can save a child as soon as she is brought to red-light areas. The NGO will also be able to invest in their rehabilitation programme, which provides training and education to rescued victims of trafficking. You can also play a critical role in bringing to an end second-generation trafficking so that the cycle of exploitation can come to an end once and for all.
