“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.

“We received a distress call saying that a blind girl is being held captive by a woman and is being forced to beg. Our volunteers were able to rescue that girl and bring her to the Blind Welfare Society home for girls. We cared for her and educated her. Today that girl is a senior government official”, says Asha Bhola, President, Blind Welfare Society (BWS) as she recalls how her organisation has been able to transform lives.BWS has been a ray of hope for 40 such blind girls, many of whom have been abandoned by their families owing to their visual impairment. Sadly, the care, shelter and education for blind girls come at a cost, and BWS is unable to keep its work going. Your donations can help shine the light of education upon 40 blind girls and change their lives forever.

According to the nonprofit office bearer, “Many parents neglect their blind daughters and at times even sell them off for begging, etc. Even if the girl is from a well-to-do family, they feel providing education and care to a blind girl is a waste of money”. “What is the fault of an innocent child?”, she asks.Education, the only hope “These girls have no future without education. If they don’t receive education, they will remain uncared for. They will continue to be ignored by not just their families but even by society at large. Whatever I am today is only because of the education I received. But sadly, every blind girl is not as fortunate. Most visually impaired girls are deprived of any care and even something as basic as education thus leading to a life of darkness”, Asha adds. You can be the light in the lives of these 40 blind girls who have not seen anything but darkness. Help support their education and be a catalyst for change in their lives.

“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

Vikash, established in 1986, has become a leading Non-Government Organization in Odisha, working towards achieving sustainability in Developmental Pursuits and Protection of Right of people. Vikash believes that development can take place with the communities' own efforts and that Vikash only needs to facilitate the process. It believes in the strength and power of the people - the toughest task is only to make the community realize and explore their own strengths. With an innovative approach to development, Vikash tries hard to help people to help themselves without imposing any development programmes on them. In the process, Vikash intends to strengthen and support community structures and local institutions. Vikash believes in human initiative, strength and innovativeness, rather than on charity. Vikash believes "small is beautiful" but at the same time we realize that small things can perish without making much contribution to the whole.  Like streams coming together to form a river, the growth of great civilizations come from a network of small initiatives - their overall joint effort realizing more significance. Here at Vikash, we have designed our line of action to work in large areas while maintaining the beauty and sanctity of small things. With a strong determination to serve the people in need, Vikash spreads its activities in 14 districts of the State. With time spreads its wing to infinite, Vikash dreams to spread its initiative beyond the boundaries made by man. We the people of Vikash, sure, we will succeed. We will be happy, one day, about our contribution to the development of society.

Namita Patra, a 15-year-old girl residing in Barimunda, Baulanga, Gop, Puri, faces the challenges of Mental Retardation with Epileptic Seizures. Her family comprises her parents and an elder brother. Her father transitioned from being a driver to a shopkeeper due to the demands of Namita's condition, while her mother takes care of the household. Namita's condition is linked to inadequate prenatal nutrition and the family's past crises, which induced stress. These factors have resulted in her daily life being a struggle, compounded by frequent seizures that have plagued her since the tender age of 3. Prior to receiving project support, Namita's seizures worsened when medication was discontinued. This unfortunate circumstance led to a decline in her school attendance, as she battled memory loss and struggled with concentration issues. However, with the implementation of project support, Namita's life has taken a turn for the better. Consistent medication has significantly reduced the frequency of her seizures, allowing her to attend school regularly and progress to the 8th grade. She has made strides in her independent reading skills, mastered basic mathematics, and can now perform daily tasks with more ease and proficiency. Medication remains a key component of her routine, in accordance with the doctor's guidance. Notably, Namita's newfound sense of well-being has also translated into her social interactions. She has become more sociable, cooperative, and readily lends a helping hand to those in need. Her family's outlook has brightened, and they are hopeful for a brighter future for Namita.
