“They insert a candle in the vagina, fingers are inserted (in the vagina) and tortured, and if children don’t relent even then, they put chilli powder so that children will say “yes” because of the burning of the skin… There are teeth marks on their bodies, and their vaginal parts are burnt. When children stay in these conditions, it is painful even to hear,” says Lalitha SA of Society for Participatory Integrated Development (SPID), in course of talking about many heart-rending stories of trafficked children in red-light areas.In over three decades, the SPID led by Lalitha, has saved over 3000 children from the red-light areas, many from clutches of sex trafficking.Sadly, many more children need to be rescued and in need of a loving home.

“We received a distress call saying that a blind girl is being held captive by a woman and is being forced to beg. Our volunteers were able to rescue that girl and bring her to the Blind Welfare Society home for girls. We cared for her and educated her. Today that girl is a senior government official”, says Asha Bhola, President, Blind Welfare Society (BWS) as she recalls how her organisation has been able to transform lives.BWS has been a ray of hope for 40 such blind girls, many of whom have been abandoned by their families owing to their visual impairment. Sadly, the care, shelter and education for blind girls come at a cost, and BWS is unable to keep its work going. Your donations can help shine the light of education upon 40 blind girls and change their lives forever. Donate easily through UPI, all debit/credit cards and net banking. Charitable donations to this fundraising campaign are tax exempted under 80G of the Income Tax Act (India). Neglect, Abandonment and StigmaIn various parts of the country, a blind girl is often seen as a curse and a burden for no fault of theirs. According to the nonprofit office bearer, “Many parents neglect their blind daughters and at times even sell them off for begging, etc. Even if the girl is from a well-to-do family, they feel providing education and care to a blind girl is a waste of money”. “What is the fault of an innocent child?”, she asks.Education, the only hope “These girls have no future without education. If they don’t receive education, they will remain uncared for. They will continue to be ignored by not just their families but even by society at large. Whatever I am today is only because of the education I received. But sadly, every blind girl is not as fortunate. Most visually impaired girls are deprived of any care and even something as basic as education thus leading to a life of darkness”, Asha adds. You can be the light in the lives of these 40 blind girls who have not seen anything but darkness. Help support their education and be a catalyst for change in their lives.

Over the past 13 years, Anudip has been recognized globally for its unique technology-driven initiative to train and empower more than 100,000 underserved Indian youth thereby touching over 425,000 needy people. Anudip’s target market comprises of youth and women from communities of migrants, political refugees, reformed insurgents, impoverished families below poverty levels, rescued victims of trafficking and persons with disabilities, religious and ethnic minorities and tribals. Anudip’s intervention programs are designed to assist such youth step out of the generational poverty trap, often riddled with large debts, and shield them from social evils like crime, drugs, human trafficking, insurgency and early marriage. Programs such as DIYA, SAVE, BEST and IMPACT focus exclusively on developing employability and entrepreneurship skills for these marginalized youth which gives them a chance to earn sustainable wages, triple their family incomes, and reap the long-term benefits of working in a structured environment. Through these digital livelihoods programs, Anudip has provided job placement services to over 55,000 youth in the digital economy jobs and set up over 200 micro-entrepreneurship co-operatives for marginalized women from remote locations of India, helping beneficiaries access needs such as healthcare services, siblings’ education and create financial savings for themselves and their family. This new found financial stability has enabled them to enhance their purchasing power which in turn contributes towards their community’s prosperity. Anudip has developed and incorporated innovative ideas and technologies to improve the efficiency of its programs, back-office systems and internal learning tools to achieve its mission. Anudip has set up a separate corporate placement cell with strategic relationships with 200+ IT-enabled-services and e-Commerce employers, including leading brands like Tech Mahindra, Amazon, TCS, Flipkart, and Walmart.Examples of Anudip innovations using technology include:1.     Leveraging crowdsourced online tasks that earn revenue for livelihoods for rescued victims of sex trafficking. These women begin with low levels of education and self-esteem, but are able to perform graphics- and image-related tasks online to earn a sustainable income as a co-operative2.     Using the benefits of rapidly evolving 3D Printing technology to offer lightweight, low-flexible and customizable 3D-printed prosthetic arms at scale for needy amputees. Also deploying brain-signal sensors to actuate motors in these arms to provide a prosthetic experience on par with natural arms.Anudip’s Learning and Development (L&amp;D) training tools and resources allow student mobilizers to upskill themselves as Market Executives (MEs), and act as an effective ambassadors of the organization, gain in-depth knowledge of market advances, conduct seminars and workshop in schools, colleges and community centers, and answer queries about job placement services and career opportunities. This facility has resulted in rapidly increasing enrollment at Anudip in the face of growing competition.On average, a Anudip graduate earns on average $120 per month i.e. $1440 annually upon being placed in entry level jobs. Family incomes of our students are on average, $1428 per year in urban areas and $1000 per year in rural locations. Thus when an Anudip graduate starts earning, there is an immediate increase in family income of 100% for urban beneficiaries and 143% for rural beneficiaries. This has a major transformative impact on their families, lifting them from a life of poverty to one of dignity and hope.

20th of May would be remembered in the history when the extremely severe cyclonic storm Amphan pounded Odisha, West Bengal, and Bangladesh, leaving untold devastation not only in parts that were ready for it but also in areas that were unprepared. Cyclone Amphan has caused great damage in rural and urban areas in both Bengal and Odisha. According to reports 75+ lives were lost, majorly in this super cyclone. Thatched houses, small shops, livestock, trees, and crops have been ruined in the areas affected in both the States. Mostly families from vulnerable communities that have suffered the most and many of them have seen their homes and livelihoods destroyed. In the midst of the COVID19 outbreak, Cyclone Amphan has caused untold sufferings for the farmers, fishermen, and migrants whose homes are shut down and crops destroyed. We need to help victims of both these disasters. Anudip is responding and we request your support to this emergency response and help those who need it the most.
