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.

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.

Dhule and Gadchiroli districts of Maharashtra are having many tribal communities. These tribal communities are away from the mainstream. They are located in the interior areas where there are no schools or healthcare facilities. There are elementary schools in some places however since the children have to travel to distant places for their secondary schools, they drop out of school. These children are always deprived in terms of opportunities to develop themselves holistically. This is the root cause of unemployment, addiction, and other issues. The families from the tribal districts migrate for 3-4 months every year in search of employment. They take their children with them and in a few cases, they keep them with older people in their families. In both cases, children suffer. Child marriages and child labours are prevalent in the tribal district. 
 We have a child development program that provides holistic development opportunities to the children of rag pickers and tribal children who are in crisis. Presently 300 children are registered in the program however the need is huge and more children are waiting to get registered in the program. If we continue to work with these children, a generation would be transformed. Children will attend their schools regularly, they will receive special coaching for difficult subjects, and get music classes, sports coaching, and service opportunities. They will also learn vocational skills and find respectable jobs. We want to break a cycle of poverty, the cycle of rag picking, and the cycle of lack of opportunity through our program. Our holistic child development program is based on the four outcomes. Physical Development, Cognitive Development, Socio-Economic Development, and Moral Development. We trust that children can not only transform when they get development opportunities but also can become change agents for their upcoming generations. 
 1.      300 children will complete their primary, and secondary education followed by their graduation2.      300 children will receive vocational skill training 3.      These children will become computer literate 4.      Complementary interventions will be planned for their parents so that they will have sustainable income-generation opportunities. 5.      Child Labour and Child Marriages will be prevented. 6.      Child Protection will ensured. 7.      A generation will be transformed and the same children will serve as catalysts for their own communities.
