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.

“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

For 11-year-old Ravi (name changed) a normal day would start before the sun rose and involved carrying heavy loads up a narrow staircase, in a ramshackle building filled with clouds of toxic smoke. And work rarely ended before nine or ten at night. “The fumes in the stone-polishing factory were such that I would choke and feel suffocated all day long. There was a time when I fell from the first floor and had I not caught onto the railing, I am not sure what would have happened. I was saved by God's grace” recalls Ravi, who was rescued by Sahyog Care For You, an organisation that has been rescuing and rehabilitating children trapped in child labour and bonded labour for over 20 years.Today, years after being saved from the confines of child labour, Ravi is still haunted by the abuse he faced, but fortunately, our NGO partner Sahyog Care for You has ensured that Ravi received the medical care and rehabilitation he needed.Sadly there are still thousands of children trapped as bonded labourers who are being robbed of their childhood. Help Sahyog Care for You rescue such unfortunate children, provide them urgent medical care and rehabilitation, so they too can get back their childhood.

But no one ever thinks about the fact that behind this universal name given to children working as labourers in hotels and tea stalls, are little kids who have been deprived of not just basic rights but even their own identity,” says Shekhar Mahajan while shedding light on the genesis of the child rights NGO. “I would be hurt and shaken to see people use the word chotu and to change this became my motivation. I wanted to give children an opportunity to live a good life away from abuse and exploitation. Starting out with a strong resolve, Shekhar and his NGO have till date changed the lives of thousands of children and have freed them from a life of abuse as child labourers and bonded labourers.The only thing stopping Shekhar from ensuring that every child gets the upbringing they deserve is a lack of resources and funds. With our support Sahyog Care for You can extend its reach and save thousands of children still trapped in bonded labour in hazardous conditions.Giving children toys, not tools The life of an innocent child employed as a labourer is nothing short of hell. According to Shekhar, “Children are made to work 12 to 15 hours a day on an empty stomach. 10 to 15 children are crammed into small rooms and are rarely ever given the opportunity to see the open sky. For six to seven years, children are unaware if it's day or night. They even forget the names of their own parents after a time.” As the practice of child labour continues unabated across the country Sahyog Care for You has emerged as one of the leading organisations fighting against the exploitation and abuse of children. With our support Shekhar and Sahyog Care For You can further intensify their fight against child labour and the exploitation of innocent children for profit. Help them bring back the joy of childhood to thousands more languishing in hazardous factories.Donate to this fundraiser on Give, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to support Sahyog Care For You in freeing hundreds of children who remain trapped as child labourers and are being made to work in hazardous factories and workplaces.

During the Teach for India fellowship, our co-founders felt a vacuum of the culture of sports in our communities and especially in the government &amp; low-income schools. While trying to further understand the problem, we realized that India has failed to provide a platform for sport in the country due to poor infrastructure &amp; deprioritization at the grassroots. This has led to a cyclical problem in sports for our communities &amp; kids. Some of the roadblocks that lead to poor sports culture are: 1. Lack of access to quality training &amp; equipment2. Poor fitness &amp; nutrition 3. Low focus on developing talent 
 KKMF follows a unique model of PLAY. PERFORM. PROSPER where a child is introduced to the power of sports through our structured sports program in low-income schools &amp; communities. We work to create access to quality sports training for children regardless of their socioeconomic backgrounds. Currently, we work in Delhi engaging with the public education system and communities directly under the following programs 1. School Program, a specialized sports program that introduces structured sports, physical literacy &amp; annual assessments in schools. Each child gets access to a min. 1hr of sports training per week 2. Community Program is aimed at developing a sustained culture of sports. We work with children to build specific sports skills. Each child gets a min of 4 hrs of access to sports per week. 3. The KKM League, single largest grassroots sports league in Delhi. It's a platform for children from underprivileged backgrounds to participate in and learn about competitive performance sports 
 Last year our programs involved 9000 children across 80 schools. Our Lab program engaged 750 children across 2 schools, The league saw participation from 229 teams from 54 underprivileged schools &amp; communities &amp; the mentorship program engaged 7000 children from 45 low-income schools. Following was the impact our programs had:1) Gender Equity: Across our programs, we witnessed an 11:10 ratio of girls to boys in the intervention.2) Fitness: 18% improvement in Locomotor Abilities &amp; 70% in upper body strength3) Nutrition: 45% students shifted towards making healthier food choices4) Community Engagement: 45% &amp; 60% parents &amp; teachers started to show active encouragement towards sports respectively
