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.

“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.

“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

Average 72% TRIBAL KIDS drop out of school in class 7th &amp; 8th... and they don't know to Read n Write properly, What future we see........ Every year, a large number of students drop out of school in India. This hinders their economic and social well-being, reduces the country's literacy rate, and creates a non-innovative environment &amp; Unemployable population. In the Tribal areas, the School dropout rate is more then 72% which is more then 6 times the national average of 12.6% and it's very alarming. Dropout rates are considered to be a significant waste in the education system, not only do many students leave school without acquiring basic skills, but their premature departure represents a significant waste of scarce education resources. It's very difficult to work on their skill development without the proper education of class 12 as all industry is getting greater influenced by technology and it makes them unemployable. These dropouts create an anti-social element and become a nuisance in society. We as a society fear that there is a risk of a “loosing generation of children” who will never return to school and that the impact on female students is disproportionately worse. This is indeed a matter of grave concern. It is critical that we work towards transitioning all children back into learning and focus on putting strong remedial learning initiatives in place to ensure retention and continuity of learning. While the government has been making concerted efforts aimed at expanding the reach of education, the phenomenon of school dropouts remains a blot on the progress of education in India, especially in tribal areas.The dropouts represent a significant human cost to children and the nation since they will most likely be permanently illiterate. Illiteracy, poverty, inadequate earnings and poor living conditions of parents force them not only to withdraw their kids from schools but also put them in various types of jobs to contribute to the family income and this cycle continues. Number of teacher vacancies, poor quality of education and inadequate funds.It's very very difficult and challenging to bring the tribal population out of poverty without proper education, the development of an individual and the progress of a nation depends on education.Despite governmental efforts, huge investments and many innovative programmes, the school dropout remains alarming high in many states, especially in tribal areas. In this context, it is not only the provision of schooling facilities and quality of education but also other households and social factors play a major role in influencing the discontinuation of education. The main problems are the high drop-out rate, low levels of learning and achievement, inadequate school infrastructure, poorly functioning schools, high teacher absenteeism, the large number of teacher vacancies, poor quality of education and inadequate funds. The most common reason reported for children dropping out of school is not cost or access, but a lack of interest in studies, according to the findings of the NFHS-5, conducted in 2019-21.  
 <ol><li>Creating offline Digital Classrooms in every school to fight the issue of lack of teachers in the school and raise their academic levels </li><li>Establishing Sports Academy for school kids to create a deeper bond with sports learning and a sense of belongingness</li><li>Bringing Toy Library to every school to make learning interesting</li><li>Building Cycle Library to counter the distance issue of 20 km walk daily to school</li><li>Hand-holding each student and keeping track of 100% of children completing their class 12th education.</li><li>conducts awareness camps in cities, towns, and villages to expose the hazards of illiteracy and unemployment</li><li>Through our Teacher's training &amp; orientation work, Our dropout early warning system enables schools to identify students who are at risk of dropping out of school, and then teacher focus on individuals who struggle to perform well.</li><li>We understand the family and parental characteristics to examine the reasons behind school dropouts and work accordingly.</li><li> Parent Orientation for continuity of children’s study and encouragement.</li><li>Provide all kinds of help including Financial aid to the needy to encourage &amp; and hold for further study.</li></ol> 
 Every village with 100% literacy will make them prosper in all kind of development be it social, environmental, political, financial or health. Education enables a person to achieve a better job or means of self-employment, and climb out of intergenerational poverty. It cultivates cultural values and beliefs in the child and make them an aspiring human who is not dependent on any other machinery for his lively hood income.
