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. Donate now.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). A movement to protect vulnerable children“Growing up in Ahilyanagar, the experiences I had as a child witnessing the horrors of sex trade defined the path of my life. 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

The SPID Society is running 4 centres for children 24/7 in Delhi.1) SPID-SMS Center2) SPID-Kishori home3) SPID Boys' homes4) SPID After Care HomePresently, around 110 underprivileged children are living full-time at our children's homes. Most of these are the children of women in prostitution. Previously these children were living with their mothers inside the brothels. Most of these vulnerable women are victims of human trafficking. They are brought to GB Road from all over India, through a powerful nexus of pimps and traffickers, and forced to work in prostitution. Forcing these women to then have a child is one way of ensuring better emotional control over them. Once women have entered prostitution, they face a strong social stigma and it's very hard for them to leave.The NGO is facing a big shortage of raw food materials to feed these children and toiletries for their daily utilization of 100+ children. Additionally, we are also desperately in need of a van cum ambulance for supplying food for children from one centre to other and for medical emergency purposes, especially at night. 
 SPID-SMS is the only centre for children operating 24/7 on GB Road, providing healthcare, nutrition and education as well as protecting children from sexual exploitation and abuse. The Centre opens its arms to every single child living in the brothels. The mothers visit their children in the Centre regularly and can receive emotional support and counselling there. SMS is one of the programs of The Society for Participatory Integrated Development (SPID).After the children enter the SPID-SMS centre, there is considerable improvement in their physical and mental development. Regular health checks, psycho-social support and an improved nutrition programme have been shown to benefit their overall health and emotional welfare.The children are enrolled in nearby formal schools and receive remedial classes in the afternoons in the centre to support their progress. In 2016, SPID-SMS opened its first After-Care Home for young women aged 18+.We are trying to nurture more children and enrol them in formal schools. This ensures they have a safe space to live away from the red-light area whilst they undertake further education to establish their careers and become self-sufficient young adults.There are numerous success stories, with former children from the centre now working as nurses, teachers, social workers, paramedical staff, bank employees and in other professions.The SPID-SMS Center is very grateful for the support received so far from the government, individuals and other donors.However, more support is crucial to ensure the continuity of the care provided and to secure a better future for the children in the Centre, as well as the young women in the After-Care Home.You can support them in many ways such as<ul><li>Volunteering (by donating your time as a computer, English, or art teacher, or with other skills…),</li><li>Kind (such as cleaning and hygiene products, food, children's clothing, shoes, books and school supplies…) or by giving a</li><li>Financial donation.</li></ul> 
 To give you an idea of what a donation can provide us:Presently, we have around 110+ underprivileged and vulnerable children living full-time in our 4 NGO shelter homes.<ul><li>Rs. 3.5 lakhs per month could purchase groceries for a month to feed 110+ underprivileged children who live full-time in our 4 NGO shelter homes.</li><li>Rs. 1.5 lakhs per month for 110+ underprivileged children who live in shelter homes.</li><li>Rs. 7 lakhs one time for the purchase of a van cum ambulance for supplying food from one shelter home to another and for medical emergency purposes for children especially at night.</li></ul>
