“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.

Dev Pratap and Chandni know what it means to go to bed hungry. They grew up in slums, picking rags and doing odd jobs to survive. There were days when they didn’t know where the next meal would come from. But even then, they chose to share what little they had. With the few rupees they could save, they started feeding children. They worked as waiters in restaurants and took on every possible job to keep their small effort alive.Today, that effort has grown into a full-fledged mission. Their NGO Voice of Slums now feeds over 800 children every single day—365 days a year.They have put together everything from large utensils to a delivery van for distribution, the only challenge they face is to arrange rations in such a large quantity each day. And you can support them in this fight by donating to the cause. Your contribution can feed tens of kids who are in urgent need of nutrition. Donate generously!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)."These children wait for us with plates in hand..."<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/83da1512-1741-44cf-bff2-90e45d1e1275.webp" />In slums, food is not just nourishment, it’s hope. When the Voice of Slums van arrives, children come running with joy.“These children call me didi. When they see a plate full of food, they feel didi is there. She’ll make sure we get a good meal. I can see hope in their eyes.” Chandni says.These are children who have no one to care for them. Many have lost their parents. Others are neglected and forgotten by society. For them, Dev, Chandni, and their team are family—their only source of warmth, nutrition, and safety.A battle against hunger every single dayFeeding 800 children isn’t easy. It takes dedication, organisation, and above all, resources.“We have a full team, an equipped kitchen, and a van for delivery. All we need is rations.”The meals provided aren’t just to fill stomachs, they’re packed with nutrition, designed to help growing children regain strength, energy, and the will to dream again.“At times, I have sleepless nights just thinking how these kids might be surviving. For those who don’t have parents, they are completely dependent upon us. Where will they go?” Dev adds.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/f25b705a-dd73-4ae7-91b5-0bd330008bff.webp" />You can make sure no child sleeps hungryYour donation will help Voice of Slums continue providing hot meals to children who have no one else. With food in their stomachs, these children can smile, play, study, and dream.“I can’t allow a child to sleep hungry. I can’t see a child unable to even play just because of hunger” Chandni says. They’ve built everything with love. Now they need your support.Voice of Slums doesn’t rely on big grants or government aid. It’s built on the resilience of two young leaders who turned their pain into purpose. They have the kitchen, the van, the team. What they need now is rations, and a community that believes no child should be left hungry. Donate today. Help feed a child. Together, we can keep hope alive.Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s most trusted online donation platform, to support Voice of Slums in its mission to feed and care for children from slums.

Vimukti Sanstha is a registered society (No. 204/Jaipur,04-05) providing free education, vocational training and career development opportunities to vulnerable, less-privileged girls dwelling in urban-slum areas.Moved by witnessing that daughter of her domestic help was discriminated against her brother and not sent to school, Ms. Lavalina Sogani started Vimukti Sanstha in 2004 with 20 girls to combat and overcome the discrimination against the girl child through literacy and education.Parents of most of the girls are daily wage earners and hence do not have a regular income. Alcoholism is rampant amongst men in such families and the financial burden of providing for the family ends up on women. Mothers of most of our students work as domestic help, earn barely enough to take care of their families basic needs. 95% of the students at Vimukti are from socially backward classes including minority communities.

Deepak Basnet

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Supporters, My name is Deepak Basnet, and I am the father of Jasmin Basnet, my beloved daughter who is currently admitted to PGI Chandigarh Children Emergency. Jasmin has been diagnosed with a serious condition that requires an urgent Bone Marrow Transplant. Doctors have informed us that this is the only way to save her life. The estimated cost of the treatment is around 25 Lakh INR (2.5 Million), which is far beyond what I can manage alone. As a father, it breaks my heart to see my little girl suffer, and I am doing everything in my power to save her. But I cannot do this without your help. I humbly appeal to you to support Jasmin’s treatment through your kind donations. Every contribution, no matter how small, will bring us closer to giving my daughter a second chance at life. Please keep Jasmin in your prayers and share this fundraiser with others so that together we can gather the strength and resources needed for her recovery. From the depths of my heart, I thank you for your compassion, support, and kindness in this difficult time. With gratitude,Deepak Basnet (Father of Jasmin)

Slums of Jaipur suffer from abysmally low living conditions, health and sanitation, compounded by social ills such as drug abuse and crimes against women. Discrimination against young girls is embedded in the culture and is reinforced by poverty. Main barrier is the attitude of poverty-stricken parents who keep them at home watching over siblings or involve them in low skill tasks for meagre wages.When we started the school in 2004, initially, no fee was charged and it was thought to be a good reason to bring girls to school as paying fee for a girl child was, and still is considered a huge financial burden which either parents are not willing to bear, or do not have the capacity to bear. But soon we realised that there are other elements which cost money, such as books and uniform. There was a reluctance on the part of parents as the movement to and fro from school involved cost; not just the tangible i.e, the cost of transport, but also the intangible(if they were to drop the children themselves, they would lose their daily wage and sending girls on their own was a big risk). Plus in some cases, there was a loss of wage to be earned by the girls. 
 Our approach has been to remove the hindrances which parents face , economically and otherwise, in sending their girls to school. Thus, we provide free education (zero tuition fee), free uniforms, free books and stationery, free meals and subsidized transport to all the students. Since we run afternoon shifts in the premises of another school, girls get time in the morning hours to finish household chores or to help their mothers in tailoring, or any other work.As health of girls is of least importance in the community, they do not get required nourishment-we give them milk and fruits in school. And this, for some girls, is the only meal they have in the entire day. 
 Initially, VGS was looked upon merely as a place where girls got free meals. But as girls learnt to read and write, helped their parents with mathematical calculations. reading newspaper/letters, parents started to realize the importance of girl education. Parents, especially fathers’ interest and involvement in the schooling of their girls has increased. Parent teachers’ meetings now have 85-90% attendance. Barring one or two cases, parents do not hurry to marry off their girls anymore. Removing financial burden of parents in sending their daughters did help us attract them to school but our aim was not just to get numbers, we started focussing on quality. This becomes essential as the students have no learning support at their homes.The school has introduced many quality elements including conducting subject based and general pedagogy trainings for teachers, setting up of subject based labs and a book club, initiation of digital learning solutions, training in dance and organisation of Annual Day and Sports Day, conduction of counselling sessions and storytelling sessions.The fact that we lose our students to other schools which admit them in higher grades because of their academic quality is worrisome but at the same time speaks of our qualitative input with the girls.
