“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.

But it was the exploitation of children, many of them hardly ten or twelve or even less. The SPID has focused on rescuing such children and giving them a new life.Lalitha plays a vital role in the survival and safety of vulnerable children in the red light areas.

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

Government schools are the pivotal components of our social structure. They are playing a vital role in addressing the educational needs of students in rural and urban areas of India. Despite being an integral part of our social fabric, government schools have been constantly battling to prove their significance, as their existence is now being challenged with mushrooming private institutions providing education. This is further heightened by inadequate infrastructure facilities resulting in unattractive environment and poor quality of student teachers engagement. Below are some of the specific challenges that have occurred due to the lack of focus on quality in school - •	The traditional classroom management allows students to sit passive in the classroom. •	Teachers usually assess all students on the same parameter ignoring the fact that every child is unique and has different ways of learning. •	In teacher training there is a huge gap between theory and practice. •	High cases of poor attendance and retention are observed as both students and parents don’t find education in Govt. schools lucrative. As per the ASER 2016 report, the low learning outcomes of children is the reflection of overall poor classroom processes that are being currently practiced in schools with students. 
 In response to the pronounced need, KHUSHII worked towards improving the quality government school education and learning outcomes of children from low-income communities in India by offering complementary and support services through Shikshaantra Plus. In association with the state education departments, KHUSHII is providing Remedial &amp; Support education to over 28,000 children across 15 government schools in 6 states. Some of the key activities conducted in the programme are- 1.	Remedial and support Education through providing teachers and worksheets for children.2.	Capacity building of teachers on remedial education, creating low cost TLMs and assessments. 3.	Strengthening parent engagement through linking them to school and regularizing PTMs.4.	Counselling services for students in areas of academic achievement, emotional, personal and social development.5.	Capacity enhancement of Head Teacher and School Management Committees on necessary management and leadership skills to stimulate learning environment in the school. 6.	Providing Digital Learning tools, Library and STEM labs to encourage reading and discovery among students in augmenting teaching. 7.	Awareness on Hygiene and General Health through dedicated workshops on health, sanitation, menstrual hygiene etc, and regular health camps. 8.	Institutional Operation and Maintenance (O&amp;M) of toilets and drinking water facilities. 
 Some of the key figures that programme has achieved so far are given below - •	28,000 children provided Remedial Education from Grade 1 to 10 •	18,000 children provided with counselling on different behavioral and psychological issues •	25,000 children are learning through digital learning, STEM and computer labs and libraries •	50 support teachers catering to the students in Government school•	200 SMC (School Management Committee) meeting with 3,000 parents participated•	60% Improvement in attendance and 40% improvement in enrollment•	125 government school teachers impacted through demonstration of good practices in Teaching Learning•	2,000 parents participated in PTMs organized in schoolsOverall the impact generated is the reflection of the process driven approach adopted by KHUSHII - 1.	Fostered partnership with education departments of 6 states. Activation of local district level stakeholders such as DEOs, BEOs and district counselors to the intervention schools. Integrated all stakeholders including communities, parents etc. 2.	Improved Health, Hygiene (including menstrual hygiene) WASH practices due to focused sessions3.	Clean drinking water facility made available in schools 4.	With the support of Govt. administration, pre-assessment of learning levels of all 28,000 children was conducted and accordingly remedial needs are planned. 5.	5-7% increase in learning levels

Millions of underprivileged children are unable to continue their education.While 95% of our children enrol in a school, 32% of them drop out due to Learning gaps, Psychological and Economic issues. 75% of our youth fail to enrol in a college or a university. Furthermore, research suggests that 50% of college pass-outs are unemployable for lack of knowledge or skills. Our Schools Are Failing Our Children, and we are losing on the demographic dividend. Unless we support our children and help them continue education by addressing the gaps in the education funnel, we risk losing an entire generation because of COVID impacting education.THIS IS A FIGHT THAT WE CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE. I invite you to join my team and pledge to the future of our country. Your support will enable us to multiply our social impact. Help us reach 250,000 children by 2025. Let's win it for our children, our future, our country.Jeetega India with KHUSHIIPS.
