“The abusers insert a candle or fingers in the vagina of children torture them. If the children don’t relent even then, the abusers 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 the Society for Participatory Integrated Development (SPID), while talking about many heart-rending stories of trafficked children in red-light areas. In over three decades, the team of SPID led by Lalitha, has saved over 3000 children from the red-light areas in Delhi, such as GB Road, and many from clutches of sex trafficking. While Lalitha has also helped many women escape the clutches of being forced into sex work, the SPID is focused on rescuing children and giving them a better life.Sadly, many more children need to be rescued and need a loving home. SPID needs your support to carry on the mission, to move out of the small shelters that are subject to arbitrary rental increases or landlords’ whims, to permanent locations where she can rescue more children and give them all the love they deserve. Your support will give these children the care and upbringing they need. 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).“I have limited funds and very limited space, and if I had the funds, I would be able to rescue many more children and provide them with more comfort. With folded hands, I plead with you that you help us with funds in large numbers and support us in providing us children with a decent life. Become a part of the mission,” pleads Lalitha. Lalitha plays a vital role in the survival and safety of vulnerable children in the red-light areas. As SPID is almost entirely dependent on donations from the public, we can support and strengthen SPID’s mission to save children.

Help Lalitha to protect vulnerable children from trafficking by moving them to a safe and loving home

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.

“I saw a girl, barely 7 or 8, being pushed into flesh trade. Her cries for help still echo in my ears. There were men as old as 60 r*ping the innocent child. That was the day I knew my mission in life was to get these children out of the hell-like conditions in red-light areas. They are nothing short of hell and no child deserves to grow up in this environment” says Vinay Vasta, founder of Social Activities Integration, an organisation committed to freeing children trapped in red-light areas.Vinay and his NGO have been able to provide education, medical care and nutrition to over 2,500 children. But his dream to provide safe shelter to children remains unrealized. “We do our best to keep these children safe during the day but sadly they are forced to go back to the red light areas at night as we don’t have a home for them. Your donation can help us build a safe home for children of sex workers and prevent them from being pulled into prostitution.

They invite customers in the presence of their children. Their children not only witness abuse but experience it too. Just imagine a child being told that all she can ever become in life is a pr*stitute”, Vinay shares as he explains the extent of abuse children face in red light areas.This is a life that thousands of children are forced to live behind closed doors where they suffer abuse and exploitation morning, noon and night.A ray of hopeVinay has been relentlessly trying to give children the care and education they deserve. He has provided quality English education to thousands of children, enabling them to secure a livelihood out of red-light areas. Several children taught by Vinay are today leading successful lives as professionals and Government employees. However the sad reality is that Vinay and his NGO, in the absence of a permanent shelter home, are unable to provide round the clock safety to these children, which is essential for their well-being.Your donations can enable SAI to build a shelter home for the children of sex workers and usher in a new tomorrow for them, away from the horrors of red-light areas.Donate to this fundraiser on Give.do, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to provide safe shelter for children of sex workers and save them from abuse and second generation pr*stitution.NGO's 80G number: AACTS0408EF20216NGO's 12A number: AACTS0408EE20028

Education

Hope Home Foundation wishes to create a system which is always focused on education and its importance. Education teaches you to value, makes you independent, and tech-savvy, makes you aware of the wrong practices, helps you know what you deserve, your rights and freedom and a lot more than you can imagine. It changes your perspective towards life. Education has the power to make you stand up against the wrong habits, behaviour and nature of society. One of the personal benefits of education is that it helps one understand the difference between facts and superstitions. You don’t let yourself become a victim of wrong beliefs. Plus, you also guide others as to not believe anything without complete research. Research is an essential skill, and education helps you enhance this skill. Schools and colleges promote a research-based approach by including it in their curriculum. It keeps you updated with everything happening around you. Now, if you ask me how education makes life better, why is it important? What’s the need for it? Then you have the answer.

Dear Friends and Supporters, Last month, we launched the **"Nourish Their Future: Monthly Grocery Fund for Hope Home Foundation"** with a goal of raising **₹1,00,000** to ensure that every child in our care receives the nutrition they need. Thanks to the generosity of our initial donors, we've raised **₹12,000**—a wonderful start, but we're still a long way from our goal. Every rupee you contribute directly impacts the health and well-being of these children, ensuring they have the strength and energy to thrive in their daily lives. Your support helps provide essential groceries that form the foundation of a healthy diet, something every child deserves. If you haven't had a chance to contribute yet, or if you know someone who might be moved by our cause, now is the perfect time to make a difference. No contribution is too small, and together, we can bridge the gap to reach our goal. Let’s come together to make sure that no child at Hope Home Foundation goes to bed hungry. Your compassion can nourish their future. **How You Can Help:****Donate** : https://r.give.do/JsiWWfZL to contribute to the Monthly Grocery Fund.**Share** : Spread the word about our fundraiser with your friends, family, and social networks.**Engage** : Follow us on social media and share our updates to keep the momentum going.https://www.instagram.com/hopehomefamily/ Thank you for being a part of this journey.

The loss of one or both parents confronts a child with immense psychological and social problems as well as reducing a child's chances of starting, continuing or completing school. As they grow older, they are also vulnerable to sexual abuse. These risks and other vulnerabilities are also likely to harm their future livelihoods as well. There are no shortcuts or quick solutions to these problems facing orphans and vulnerable children. A sustained commitment to protecting and improving the lives of these orphaned children is required so as to ensure that their needs are addressed through actions at the local level so that interventions made can achieve the widest possible impact. 
 Hope Home envisages laying a good foundation and bringing up orphaned and other vulnerable children in a way which will enable them to live in any setting rural or urban. The idea is to give children exposure to education, and community life &amp; provide them with skills. The intention is not to turn them into labourers, but to orientate them to real community life experiences so that when they are adults, they shouldn’t be beggars and dependent but self-reliant and happy to engage in productive work.
