“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. Your support can help her give these children the care and upbringing they need.

But it was the exploitation of children, many of them hardly ten or twelve or even less. The SPID has focused on rescuing such children and giving them a new life.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.

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. Donate to make this dream a realityDonate 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).Life in red light areas“S*x workers use their homes which are barely 6 feet by 4 feet for their business. 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

Goal: Language And Learning Foundation was founded in 2015 with the goal of improving language learning outcomes of children in grades 1 to 3 in-home and school languages by working in collaboration with state governments.Objective: To reach this goal, LLF works towards the following three objectives -<ol><li>Developing capacity in the public education ecosystem to implement and sustain high-quality interventions in early literacy/multilingual education at scale.</li><li>Enhancing the priority and commitment of state governments for improving language and literacy instruction.</li><li>Persuading governments to include children’s first languages (L1) in the formal learning and teaching process through bi/multilingual approaches.</li></ol>Mission: By 2023, influence classroom practices of 8,00,000 teachers and teacher educators in collaboration with State Governments. This will potentially benefit the learning experiences of 30 million children.We work with the government education system, and at a reasonable scale, to foster change that is sustainable. We are currently working in 7 Indian states including Haryana, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Gujrat and Bihar where we have signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the State Governments.

India’s National Education Policy 2020 mentions: “The highest priority of the education system will be to achieve universal foundational literacy and numeracy in primary school by 2025. The rest of this Policy will become relevant for our students only if this most basic learning requirement (i.e., reading, writing, and arithmetic at the foundational level) is first achieved.” We find that in Haryana, 71% of Grade-3 students cannot read Grade-1 level text (ASER, 2019) and the average scores in Hindi in Grade-3 was ~59% (NAS, 2019)To ensure the attainment of foundational literacy in young children, Language and Learning Foundation is conducting a home-based learning model called “Har Ghar School” in 7 districts of Haryana. Summer learning camps and community classes are an integral part of the initiative. Through the “Har Ghar School” program, we are reaching 55%-60% of the students in the intervention districts with academic support from teachers and volunteers. Our aim is to reach all children to support them in foundational learning during school closures. 
 To improve student attendance, our strategy is to provide nutritional support in the summer camps.<ul><li>Organize summer learning camps as a part of the existing intervention (May-June 2021): Summer camps are a proven method to bridge the learning gap, minimize learning loss, and can prove useful for learning during the pandemic. Summer camp would aim at targeted literacy instruction for grades 1 and 2 children. The summer camps will be organized through a collaborative effort of the system, school, parents, SMC &amp; community for 20 days in May-June 2021. In the summer camp, grades -1, 2 &amp; 3 students will get access to learning material, storybooks, and workbooks from LLF. The currently inducted community volunteers or school teachers will teach 3 hours daily during the summer camp.</li><li>Provide Nutritional Support during the camps through additional funds: To ensure attendance in the summer camps, refreshments (fruits, juices and biscuits) will be provided to students in the duration of the two hours. The cost per child for receiving the nutritional supplements will be Rs. 5 per day.</li><li>Monitoring of the summer camps by the system: The LLF staff, BRP/ABRCs, SMC members will monitor implementation of the summer camp by tracking student attendance, nutritional supplements received and the number of camps held in every block.</li></ul> 
 At the end of the program, the children will be well-placed for learning during the pandemic through a combination of support structures provided by LLF such as graded workbooks and reading books, storybooks, academic support by volunteers and teachers, and access to spaces for formal learning. In addition, the members of the community (Volunteers, parents and SMC) will be involved in the implementation of these camps. The nutritional support for learning will be advantageous for these students and serve as motivation for the families to send their children to summer camps. The outcomes are listed below:<ol><li>Minimize learning losses in young children caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.</li><li>Provide adequate nutrition for young children to ensure learning during the pandemic.</li><li>Provide adequate opportunities for academic support and formal learning during the pandemic through summer camps.</li></ol>The impact will be demonstrated by measuring -<ul><li>Change in attendance: Change in Student attendance to Enrolment ratio in “Har Ghar School” classes and at the end of summer camps.</li><li>Change in learning outcomes: Sampled learning outcomes assessment at the beginning and end of the camp.</li></ul>
