“For over four days, I could neither swallow a morsel of food nor did my tears stop. I sobbed while going from house to house in search of my 11-year-old son who had gone missing. The horror only ended when I received a call from the police informing me that the NGO SATHI had rescued my Aditya from a railway station in Pune,” recalls Rekha Devi, a single mother from Phoolpur, Bihar. Her pride and joy, Aditya embarked on an innocent adventure, boarded a train and lost his way back home. Little did Aditya know about the harsh realities of the world beyond his village and the fact that thousands of children like him are abducted by traffickers from railway stations across the country each year and are lost forever. Society for Assistance to Children in Difficult Situation (SATHI), one of the top NGOs working for lost children at railway stations in India, has been on a mission to save the lives of over 1 lakh children in the last 3 decades. But sadly the charity organisation, SATHI, had to shut down their shelter home for rescued children in Bengaluru due to a severe fund crunch. The lost children are at risk of abduction and abuse without SATHI’s help. Support SATHI to reopen its shelter home and strengthen its efforts to save lost children from railway stations. Your donation to the NGO will go a long way in rescuing children.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), &amp; 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (USA). How the NGO helpsSATHI workers are present at major railway stations such as Pune, Delhi and Bengaluru 24x7 so that they are the first to spot an unaccompanied minor in distress and reach children before they fall into the wrong hands. Without SATHI, one of the top NGOs based in Pune and also working in other cities, thousands of children could have been lost forever after falling prey to abusers and traffickers who are waiting to pounce, the moment a child gets off a train.  “If a child is not rescued in time from a potential trafficker or leaves the railway station, that child could be lost forever. And therefore, it is imperative that we have our teams stationed on platforms. Once rescued, a report is filed with the police and government authorities, and they are then brought to our shelter homes. We then begin the arduous task of tracking the child’s family. Once that is done, a government body assesses the family of the child to evaluate if the child’s home is conducive for the child's wellbeing. In the meantime children are provided counselling to help them to recover from the trauma they have faced while on their own,” informs Vineet Raichur, Programme Director, for the nonprofit.The children whose homes cannot be found or are unfit for the child are transferred to Child Care Institutions.Abducted children face physical and sexual abuse “Children are forced to starve for days or beg for scraps to survive when travelling on trains. Often children haven't slept or eaten for days when they are rescued. We have had cases where children had suffered serious physical and sexual abuse. Our first approach is to identify children who are in visible distress, have soiled clothes and are scavenging in the garbage. It is the care and love they receive at SATHI, is what enables them to start feeling safe, Vineet says.   SATHI is working at barely 50% capacity because of lack of funds, at a time when thousands of children are at the risk of losing their future. According to Vineet, SATHI had three operational shelters at Pune, Delhi and Bengaluru but due to a shortage of funds their shelter at Bengaluru had to be shut down. “Now we are struggling to run even the two remaining shelter homes, putting at jeopardy our work and the lives of children”.“Our mission is to save every single child that has lost their way home but we can not do this alone. We are in urgent need of funds to extend our reach to ensure that we are there the moment a lost child lands at a railway platform,” Vineet says. Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest online donation platform, to support SATHI in their mission to rescue lost children from railway stations and save them from falling prey to abusers and traffickers.

Hundreds of children run away from their homes every day in India, mostly as a refuge from negligent parents, pressures at school, child abuse and at times, simply because of an argument at home. However, the time it takes for a runaway to become a "platform child" is frighteningly short. 
 Our staff visit railway platforms on a daily basis to identify runaway children. Once identified, children are registered with the Child Welfare Committee so families can be traced. Then they are brought to our home placement centre where they are provided with food, shelter and care.We organise regular counselling sessions, de-addiction centres, and informal education classes for children, which help their reintegration with social life. Those who are reluctant to go home are enrolled into our home orientation camp and if a family can’t be traced, they are referred to other organisations. 
 Early intervention not only saves a child from the dangers of platform life but it makes repatriation easier, as the child is more willing to return. Our rehabilitation centre supports every step of this process.

Sathi (Society for Assistance to Children in Difficult Situations) is a national award-winning Indian non-profit working with children in vulnerable situations. Sathi has been doing this work for over 27 years. Founded by Pramod Kulkarni, an alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad, Sathi has worked across the landscape of India to put children’s lives on track and ensure a stable future for every child. Sathi’s work includes: (1) the rescue of runaway and separated children from railway platforms and resettling them with families or childcare institutions; (2) engaging with government-run childcare institutions and working towards resettling children who languish in institutions without family contact; and (3) working with children in street and slum situations and helping them secure valid legal identity documents which will in turn grant them access to social protection schemes of the state. Sathi has had humble beginnings in the rugged district of Raichur in Karnataka; but has over the years expanded in geography and scale. Sathi has worked in more than 40 locations in 14 states across India and has reached out to more than a 100,000 child beneficiaries directly.Sathi’s most notable achievements include pioneering work in the rescue and rehabilitation of Children in Contact with Railways (CCR); this has resulted in the design and development of best practices for the rescue, counselling, restoration and aftercare of children. Sathi is known for this pioneering work across the social sector. Many non-profits making an entry into this space are mentored by Sathi.A second area of work includes working with Children in Street and Slum Situations (CiSS). Sathi has worked with thousands of children on the streets, otherwise deprived of basic health and education facilities. In recent years, Sathi has worked with global organisations to provide children with a unique digital identity and link this identity with social welfare schemes of state and central governments.Sathi’s work with government-run childcare institutions in 12 states across the country has helped resettle thousands of children who were languishing in institutions without individual attention and the scope for growth. Sathi has worked for the welfare of these children - especially in areas of health and education. Sathi has also designed and developed unique models in this space. A key feature of Sathi’s work in these childcare institutions is the ability to work with Children with Special Needs including challenging mental health conditions.A rare feature that distinguishes Sathi from many non-profits is the combination of a strong field presence and the ability to network and advocate for the cause at local and national levels. Sathi is proud to have contributed to a number of key policy developments within childcare including for Children in Contact with Railways. A number of individuals, institutions and Governments have recognised and honoured Sathi’s work; Sathi has received many accolades and awards along its journey including the National Award for Child Welfare from the Honourable President of India in 2015.

SATHI (Society for Assistance to Children in Difficult Situations)

Sonu Kumar is 12 years old and is from Jharkhand. He used to work with his parents as a labourer as their economic condition was so poor.

When Sonu was scolded and beaten by his mother for not going to work on one occasion, he ran away to his grandmother’s house. Unfortunately, he boarded the wrong train and found himself in an unfamiliar place with no family.

Sathi found him sleeping at the railway platform a few days later and we took him safely to our rehabilitation centre. Since Sonu’s education was in its infancy, Sathi initially had difficulty locating his village. However, we contacted local police and soon his parents were traced.

Once Sonu was reunited with his family, Sathi counseled his parents against physical abuse and encouraged them to enrol Sonu into a school. Seeing their economic condition, Sathi promised to help them financially to support his education.

Today, Sonu is back with his family without the pressure of working as he attends school. Sathi arranged for all his educational costs to be paid for by the government so Sonu’s family are alleviated from additional expenses.
