Story

Renu grew up in the chawls of Pune’s red-light area in a dingy house, witnessing a flow of unknown men enter and leave their small bedroom day and night. Sometimes while looking at her mother hiding her fresh bruises with her pallu, Renu’s determination not to take up this path that her mother was pushed into only became stronger. She yearned for a way out of this dark world where she could live without fear, not struggle for three meals a day and get an education.

Luckily for Renu (name changed), Swadhar IDWC-Pune took her in with her mother’s consent and put her in school. After years of hard work, she cleared all her grades and has now appeared for her Class 12 final exams.

Swadhar IDWC led by Sanjivani Hingne, is on a mission to bring many more children to safety and your support can make it possible. Donate generously.

A fight for the rights of children

Children like Renu, who are born to sex workers, cannot dream of a normal childhood. They are subjected to stress, trauma, and sometimes abuse by their mother’s clients.

“What will the child get whose mother is a sex worker? There is no family; there is no schooling, no medical care, and nothing for the child. Children like them are easy prey. Our only concern is the child getting into mainstream society and not continuing in the mother’s profession,” says Sanjivani Hingne, secretary, Swadhar IDWC Pune.

Swadhar IDWC- Pune weaves a safety net for children of sex workers. They strive to prevent second-generation prostitution of children living in red-light areas by providing a secure environment where they have access to shelter, nutrition, healthcare, education, and happiness. The organisation wants to provide a refuge for more children trapped in the sex-trade environment, but they cannot do it without your support.

Project Mohor - a safe home away from red-light areas

Swadhar’s fully functional 24x7 facility looks after the most vulnerable and neglected children of sex workers in Pune’s red-light area. These children often roam the streets till early morning while their mothers engage in prostitution. In view of providing a safe environment for them, Swadhar runs a kitchen, a pre-school, and an e-learning center.

“Right from cleaning, bathing, feeding, medical care, seeing that the child is ready for school - all of it is taken care of here, which is impossible in a red-light area. So far, we have taken care of 200 children, most of them now pursuing higher education or have finished school with flying colours. Now, we need more funds because the number of children is increasing and we want to take in more children”.

Unfortunately, this safe home for kids is at risk of shutting down. The NGO is racing against time to raise funds to build a new home for the rescued kids and your help can strengthen their efforts. Please donate as much as you can.

Donate to this fundraiser on Give.do, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to help minor victims of forced prostitution get back to school and reshape their lives.

Our donors' help is invaluable in facilitating Swadhar IDWC's efforts to maintain and manage a stable home for the children of sex workers. These kids are particularly vulnerable to life's realities, and their well-being is our priority.


Through our combined efforts, we have raised enough money to secure these innocent souls' care for the foreseeable future, but we need to do more!

Our biggest concern is the lack of suitable living space for the kids. With your help, Swadhar is on the path to purchasing new land to construct a home in which the children can live, learn, and play.


We need more aid to be able to construct the 5,000 - 7,000 sq ft home and maintain it, equipping it with all the facilities it needs to be a fun, educational, and safe respite from the horrors of the children's daily lives.


Together, we can expand project Mohor's reach and rescue so many more kids who deserve nothing less than a childhood free of worry and full of care.


Make the world a better place and donate now!
