This winter, as the biting cold descends on Vrindavan, thousands of elderly widow mothers face the harsh reality of abandonment and suffering. With no one to turn to, many are left begging on the streets, exposed to freezing winds and sleepless nights. A warm blanket could mean the difference between despair and hope.Donate warm clothes and blankets to abandoned elderly mothers now. Give generously."Elderly widows don't have shelter. They sleep in cowsheds over sacks. They don't have a blanket. Nights are really difficult for them," shares Winnie Singh, the founder of Maitri. "Since they are abandoned, they don't have a home or family. They have no means to care for themselves or their nutrition. Winters are extremely painful for them, and many eventually pass away. Without thermals, it's not possible to survive winters in Vrindavan."<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/1abfb906-563b-4747-85b8-8af2071a2856.jpg" />This heartbreaking reality is why Maitri is committed to providing blankets and warm clothing to these abandoned widow mothers.

“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.

“I used to be sexually abused repeatedly, and when I screamed in pain, they hit and threatened me with more violence,” says Priya (name changed), a rescued child sex worker. Priya was abducted by traffickers and sold into a red-light area house before she was rescued by Guria led by Manju. For over two decades, Manju has been rescuing young girls forced into prostitution across the country. She has been shaken to the core seeing some of the most horrifying crimes that young girls have to undergo. “You can’t imagine the state of girls forced into sex work. The girls are given electric shocks and burnt with cigarette butts just to get kicks out of it. And if they get pregnant, the "owners" kick them repeatedly in the womb so that the child inside dies…If you want to see hell, it is here on this planet where young girls are sexually abused,” says Manju.Manju needs your help to rescue more young girls from forced prostitution and reunite them with their families. Donate now.Guria’s work over the yearsBased out of Varanasi, inarguably the holiest place in India, Manju and her organisation Guria, fights the sexual exploitation of girls, especially minors, by taking on the traffickers head-on, and rescuing and rehabilitating them.Started in 1993, Guria has rescued over 5500 persons from slavery, sex trafficking, and child prostitution so far. It has also been instrumental in shutting down hundreds of places that housed trafficked girls and putting scores of traffickers out of business and in jail.For instance, in 2005, a Guria-led rescue operation in Varanasi's red-light area led to the freeing of 49 women and girls, including minors. Many of them were kept against their will. Some of the traffickers were also arrested and tried. Since then, Guria has rescued thousands of young girls.Manju and her husband, Ajeet Singh began rescuing girls from Varanasi’s red-light areas and then working to stop the sex-trafficking of young girls within Uttar Pradesh and outside. The organisation’s aim is to eliminate the sex trafficking of women, especially minor girls, end second-generation prostitution and child prostitution, and rehabilitate women and girls who are rescued from the trade. Manju has faced violent backlash from the traffickers and other vested interests, but it has not deterred her from carrying on rescuing young girls from trafficking. Rescue and rehabilitationBesides rescuing girls trafficked for sex, mostly from low-income families, from across the country, Guria fights on their behalf in courts and also provides education, food, vocational training, and other facilities until they are united with their families. But because of a lack of funds, Guria is finding it difficult to rescue more girls and also take care of them once they are away from the clutches of the traffickers. Take the case of Sameena (name changed), who was abducted from Uttar Pradesh all the way to Telangana. Guria took it upon itself to rescue the girl with the help of its own work and also the authorities. After months of rehabilitation, Sameena went back to her family and even completed her education. With your support, Manju can rescue many more young girls from trafficking and help them live the life of their dreams.

Rag pickers and garbage waste collectors are the invisible, silent supporters of the community, they indirectly helped people by preventing hazardous health diseases, making a healthy society and making a cleaner, greener and pollution-free environment. Our SOCIAL WELFARE INTEGRAL TRUST (SWIT) is a legally registered NGO working especially focusing on the welfare of the people living in slums and sub-urban areas In our working area, the condition of the woman is garbage picking activities is very pathetic and feeble. Based on our recent study about 96 women in 120 families living in the Slums of Stalin Nagar, Thideernagar, in the Thiruchriappalli district alone were involved in Rag-picking, and garbage waste collections and backyard works. They are living in a small hut where about 6 more family members are in a tiny place side the slums and suburban areas. As far as they are involved in garbage waste collection, they have chronic health issues and occupational diseases. Several women were found injured by nails, spikes and sharp pins and other metal parts while involved in rag picking, they don’t much care about their health care. A very merger, low income, sometimes no income a day makes them struggle even a square meal for a day. Most of the male members of the rag-pickers women are drunkards and alcoholic dependents, hence they forced their children at the age of 8 yrs to 12 yrs into Rag-picking on streets and roadsides, and even 6 yrs old children of these women are involved in begging. The COVID 19 pandemic is hit the rag-picker family too.. during the lockdown period they suffered a lot and our SWIT has arranged food materials and emergency relief assistance to them and about 47 children in rag picker family are studying in our evening tuition centre run by SWIT.  
 We have identified about 38 women in rag-picking families in our working area Stalin Nagar, Thideer Nagar, Sathyamoorthy Nagar and Tharamangalam villages/slums in Ariyamangalam, Corporation block and those are having girl children and school-going children in their families uncared by the living community and struggled for their daily bread, this proposed project will help to support about 25 of the all-class rag picker women and the destitute who involved in garbage waste collecting activities and backyard works on to support by providing Dry rations/groceries – 1 unit for one family for about 4 months, and Healthcare kit contains – Safety hand gloves, Sanitizes, Foot covers, First aid kit and helps them to lead their regular life with their belonging society normally. Apart from this, we planned to give Health counselling and on-spot – work counselling to do their work in safe and preventive measures. 
 This Donation option helps to support about 25 of all class ragpicker women and the destitute who are involved in garbage waste collecting activities and backyard works, they have assured dry rations/groceries and other provisions to run their family for the next 6 months and help them to get out the clutches of COVID `19, About 68 of the children in ragpickers family having good and nutritious food and improve health status and concentrate in studies. This donation option will also support the in medical care and health counselling, on-spot counselling them to. Hence these poor ragpicker women have to give much care to their health and improved health status, by the assurance of dry rations and livelihood will get out of the fear of COVID 19 and continue their daily life in a normal way. About 93 of the total beneficiaries in the ragpickers/garbage waste collector’s community would get benefited from this donation option and have good quality dry ration/groceries materials for every month and get quality food every day.
