We are pleased to report that SAI has made excellent progress in rescuing the poor and needy children from red-light areas in Mumbai.

Our visit started at 11:00 AM where we met the project team and SAI founder Mr. Vinay. He took us through SAI's humble origins and remarked on the incredible developments in its capabilities and efforts through the years. The meeting was insightful and redoubled our conviction in SAI's mission. It was truly moving to learn how this nonprofit has worked relentlessly to break the chains of abuse that children in red-light areas face, providing them with safety, protection, and a chance for a brighter future. Hearing about the impact they’ve had on these vulnerable children left us with immense respect for the work being done and the dedication of everyone involved. It’s a testament to how compassion and relentless effort can transform lives.

During our visit to a beneficiary’s home, a 10x10 space with minimal living conditions, we witnessed the harsh environment families endure. The building was unhygienic, with pan stains and garbage, making it unsuitable for children. This highlighted the urgent need for our project to build shelter homes for the children of women prostitutes, known as "Didis." The Didis expressed a strong desire to protect their daughters and ensure a better future, free from the harsh realities they currently face.

SAI's commitment to efficiency is clear. Their reliance on digital financial infrastructure as opposed to using cash as well as their transparency ensures the smooth functioning and execution of their operations. SAI is truly a model for goodwill and competence. Check out some pictures below!

Little Shweta (name changed) is a 5-year-old girl from Mumbai whose mother was ill-treated and entrapped in prostitution. Shweta was bound to follow in her mother's footsteps and needed outside support to escape the vicious cycle. SAI's timely intervention was crucial in rescuing Shweta from her dreadful conditions and sending her to school.

With SAI's support, she got promoted from the second to the third standard! Social Activities Integration intervenes to send children just like her to institutions where they -

. Receive free, healthy meals daily

. Are taught English, Mathematics, Hindi, etc.

. Are allowed to explore their interests by engaging in extra-curricular activities

SAI provides the children of sex workers a future beyond their parent's dreams. So far we have helped 61 children including 43 boys and 18 girls escape the shadow of child abuse and trafficking.

Please help us do more! SAI needs your help to expand our reach and improve the education received by these innocent souls. Donate now to make a difference.
