“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. As SPID is almost entirely dependent on donations from the public, we can support and strengthen SPID’s mission to save children. Donate generously.Donation to SPID’s fundraiser on Give.do“I have limited funds and very limited space, and if I had the funds, I would be able to rescue many more children and provide them with more comfort.

“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.

India being a developing country has limited resources and it is also reflected in the educational institutions where the students lack access to resources like stationaries, technology tools, or gadgets for learning. The most in need are from public schools (Government funded) that do not have the means to get proper support for education. The parents of the students studying in these schools do not have a steady income because they are mostly working for minimum wages or on temporary jobs. Much of the community living in India is so poor that they struggle to make ends meet, many parents do not send their children to school as they cannot afford education expenses Moreover, the ongoing pandemic has worsened the situation. These students are struggling all the more due to the move toward online education. To widen the education landscape and ensure equal learning opportunities among the children, the students must be supported with adequate resources. 
 In response to the powerful urge of fostering inclusive and good quality education in India, Learning Links Foundation proposes to support students and bridge the educational divide and facilitate continuity in learning. In the purview of this, we aim to increase student enrollment in schools by improving the infrastructure, refurbishing the classrooms, supporting students by providing stationery kits, school uniforms, conducting capacity building sessions for teachers, student engagement activities, support to student families with adequate resources to continue their education, etcApart from this, we aim to make the schools technologically advanced, and thus provide access to technology to the students and make them available with all the required e-learning tools and resources.The efforts will be made towards improving learning outcomes for students and making significant progress edtech solutions, by bridging the digital learning divide and unlocking the potential of every student.We also aim to tap the nearby communities and carry out extensive surveys of communities around the schools. Moreover, we aim to partner with Anganwadi, and conduct community meetings and door-to-door mobilization drives to spread awareness among people. 
 Studies indicate that there is a direct relationship between school infrastructure and educational performance and that investments in educational infrastructure contribute to improving the quality of education and the economic performance of countries.  Therefore, a good school infrastructure with renewed spaces and proper support will make it possible for children to study properly and, in addition, tends to improve the attendance and interest of students and teachers in learning leading to better learning outcomes.
