In the dark and dingy alleys of red light areas, injustice, pain and suffering run rampant. And the worst affected are the children who grow up in red-light areas and are subjected to constant abuse and violence. “The sight of a 12-year-old girl being gang-raped by a group of men near a house l haunts me to this date. I was filled with anguish and resolved to do something,” says Girish Kulkarni who has made it his life’s mission to rescue children from red light areas and give them a safe and secure childhood. In the last 3 decades Girish has saved over 1100 girls from a life of abuse in red-light areas, giving them a loving home, education and medical care. He has further supported over 20,000 children with a better life.Sadly, 250 of the children rescued from abuse and exploitation are HIV positive. The high cost of medication has left Girish struggling for funds. Your support can help him provide these children with the care and upbringing they need.

I had even seen my friend’s 15-year-old sister and 70-year-old grandmother being forced to do sex work for the price of a cup of tea”, recalls Girish. “I started by merely feeding and teaching children of sex workers initially with the intention of giving them some respite from the horrors of life of abuse in red-light areas. Gradually more and more mothers started coming to me and asked me to take their children away, even if it was just for a couple of hours,” he further adds.The work that Girish started in his youth gradually grew to become a movement, with many more joining his cause. His NGO Snehalaya to date has transformed the lives of millions. Girish’s work is crucial for the survival and safety of vulnerable children of sex workers. Snehalaya is almost entirely dependent on donations from the public and your support can strengthen his mission to save children most in need. Donate generously.The horrors of life in red light areas“The cruelty and abuse that children as young as 6 or 7 years of age face is something that I can’t explain in words. Young daughters of sex workers are made to watch their mothers being raped, are brutally assaulted and forced into sex work. No child deserves to grow like this, Girish says in anguish.Sad reality of life for children growing up in red light areas is that they are deprived of even the most basic needs like proper food, safety and education. Moreover, a majority of children rescued by Girish are diagnosed HIV positive. The task of securing medication, providing them quality education and much needed nutrition is one that requires constant support from donors. Moreover, the increase in healthcare cost has left Girish struggling to keep his home for children going. But your support can enable him to give his children a loving environment and save many more who still remain trapped behind closed doors.Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to help Snehalaya give hundreds of children rescued from red-light areas a life away from violence and abuse.

“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. But Lalitha needs our support to carry on the mission, to move out of her small facility so that she can rescue more children, house them in a permanent location and give them all the love they deserve.

“What will happen to them after me? I am 80+. I spend sleepless nights,” worries ex-Air Force officer, Group Captain AC Barua while talking about the future of the 28 destitute women under his care. “They have nobody in this world, sometimes they don’t remember their own names. They are absolutely alone,” he informs us as he goes from one room to the other meeting all the women who live at Seneh, the only home where they are loved and taken care of. After fighting for his country all his life, this octogenarian is now fighting to rescue homeless and abandoned women from dying on the streets. But he cannot do it alone. “Everyday I keep on getting calls from here and there. ‘Oh! there’s a woman lying here. Can you help?’ But I don’t dare to go and help because I don’t have the money. I don’t have the resources, our resources are very limited,” explains Gr. Capt. Barua who is lovingly called ‘Sir’ and ‘Deuta’ (father in Assamese) by the residents of Seneh. With your help, 80-year-old Group Captain Barua can fulfill his mission of rescuing abandoned and homeless women from dying on the streets, alone. Donate nowDonate easily through UPI, all debit/credit cards and net banking. All donations to this fundraising campaign are tax exempted under 80G of the Income Tax Act (India), &amp; 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (USA).Seneh- a home filled with love, care and hopeThe residents of Seneh often don’t remember who they are, where they have come from. Many times these are women with mental health conditions and considered being a witch due to superstitious beliefs and beaten up as a result. They are victims of domestic abuse or widow mothers who are considered to be a burden on the family. Group Captain Barua has not only rescued them from critical conditions, he has provided them with urgent medical care, food and above all, a free safe shelter where they can live with love and care. Among these residents is Sarala Kalita who fled to save herself from the tortures of her alcoholic husband only to face neglect and trauma from her brothers- and sisters-in-law. “Both my brothers and their wives urged my father to leave me somewhere as they didn’t want to take care of me anymore. One day my brother’s wife didn’t even let me have food at home. She just wanted me to leave and go away. So that’s why, my father got in touch with Seneh through someone, and handed me over to Sir to take care of me,” says Sarita who has found joy in living at Seneh. “Coming to Seneh, it felt like I got a new life altogether. Sir has given me a harmonium. I love singing. It makes me forget everything and takes me to someplace else entirely,” she adds. More women like Sarala can find their way to a loving home like Seneh. All they need is a little bit of your kindness. “It is difficult to make both ends meet”To sustain their daily expenditure, Capt Barua needs approx ₹3 lakh a month and arranging the funds is a mammoth challenge for the NGO. “Our expenses are growing day by day. Residents are growing older, their sicknesses are increasing. At times we have to give them special food. They require more care so we have to get more employees. About half of them require leading around, 1-2 has to be fed also. It will be very difficult to sustain it unless we get help,” he added. One act of your kindness can save these abandoned women, with no one in this world, from struggling on the streets to survive. At 80+ Gr. Capt. Barua cannot sustain Seneh on his own. “With folded hands, I appeal to all. Please come and please help us. Let us help these people, these old people who have nobody in this world. They are dying. They will die on the streets,” he urged. Donate to this fundraiser by Give.do to support retired Air Force officer, Group Captain Barua in his mission to rescue abandoned and homeless women from dying on the streets.

DREAMER TRUST was started in 2020, during the time of the worldwide pandemic. I started DREAMER MITHU with a team involving a few of my friends to provide free Food baskets and Clothes to the helpless people of our society, especially to the children in some interior villages of West Bengal, India.

Our volunteers are continuously trying to stand beside the helpless people.Children are the future of a nation. For an emerging country like India, the development of children is the key to the nation’s progress and their education is the foundation for progress.

Help DREAMER TRUST Provide Nutritious Meals To The HungryEvery day, millions of people in India struggle to get a plate of food. They are struggling to feed themselves and their families. Seeing people like them suffering every day, Mithu Chowdhury decided to do something.At one time, Mithu Chowdhury worked as a helper with a vegetable trader in different markets of Siliguri for food, worked as a helper in a tempu car, washed dishes in a food hotel in front of NJP railway station in Siliguri for one meal. Seeing the difficulty of food, his friend sometimes arranged food for Mithu Chowdhury at his house. From that time, Mithu Chowdhury dreamed of doing something for the society. Covid-19 has changed everything for Mithu ChowdhurySeeing the helplessness of people during covid-19 discussed with friends and decided to help the needy. In the beginning a team cooked nutritious food and dry food was served. Helping various underprivileged communities saw many spending days without food. Seeing this plight, Mithu Chowdhury did not think twice to use a huge part of his savings and started Dreamer Trust’s flagship program ONE RUPEE THALI (Fight Against Hunger and Malnutrition) project and has been able to touch thousands of lives.“We have seen many people who are starving for days due to this crisis. Our goal is to make sure no one goes to bed hungry. When we started making food we used to give it away for free, but we soon realized that it was an insult to many people, many didn’t want to take food. Then charge Rs 1 so they don’t think they are begging for food and they don’t hesitate to come here.It is interesting that Mithu Chowdhury does not make this charity work about himself. He works hard to serve others. He strongly believes in maintaining self-respect by providing full meals to those who are hungry for one rupee.However, there are many who cannot pay even Rs 1 and Dreamer Trust welcomes them with open arms. Dreamer trust feeds around 250+ people full of nutritious food every day in West Bengal. These dishes are made with love and include all kinds of dishes (Like- Vegetable-Rice, Egg-Rice, Fish-Rice, Meat-Rice, Biryani, Khichdi, Rusgolla, Banana etc.). For some, it’s their first meal in days, but the Dreamer Trust ensures it won’t be their last.How can you help him?Supported by six staff members, Trust members and volunteers, Dreamer Trust provides food to slum children, street children, elderly, specially-abled, abandoned women, homeless people, destitute and distressed families. Underprivileged students are being catered for by providing nutritious mid-day meals and making them focus on their studies. It has even expanded to provide food packet services to neighboring areas.Mithu Chowdhury does not get food as before. He now faces the challenge of continuing to feed the thousands of people who depend on him for their daily meals.Your support will help Dreamer Trust save thousands of needy people in West Bengal.
