“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.

Help Disabled Children with Shelter & Care

“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. 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). Neglect, Abandonment and StigmaIn various parts of the country, a blind girl is often seen as a curse and a burden for no fault of theirs. 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.

Orphans, semi-orphans and vulnerable children are subject to systematic deprivation covering a wide spectrum of socio-economic parameters like lack of shelter, and lack of access to health services and educational opportunities. These vulnerable children are also easy prey to all kinds of exploitation and abuse. Such children are often among the high-risk, insecure and deprived groups who are denied not only their rights as children but also their childhood. Without guidance, education and security, they head for an obscure future. They need support to steer them back to the mainstream of social life through proper education opportunities, care and rehabilitation. Children in need of care and protection face immense challenges - lack of belongingness, psychological issues, malnutrition, lack of education and access to healthcare, insecurity and a bleak future. Many of them are homeless and take to begging and crime. They are in a continuous struggle to fulfil their basic needs like shelter, food, clothing, drinking water, health care and protection.There is thus a need to augment efforts in taking care of orphans/marginalised children and providing them with a sense of belongingness, security, education, access to healthcare, care and support for their overall development. 
 We have created Ghar in a seven-storey building that houses homes for orphan/marginalised girls and the elderly all under one roof.We take care of the boarding, nutritional, education, health and personal needs of orphan/marginalised girls. They are provided with quality education in English medium schools and all other facilities that are needed to make them realise their full potential be it in academics, sports, arts and culture and to become capable to participate and compete in all activities. This will help them in pursuing their dreams, to grow into conscientious adults and to lead a life of dignity and respect in society. Ghar also houses paralysed women and the elderly. Orphans/marginalised get to grow up in the environment of a family with the attendant sense of belongingness, security, good education, a good future and love and affection.Paralysed women from the lower strata of society will be provided with skill training and mainstreamed into society. 
 Ghar is unique in her vision, concept and management. Our vision is to hold the hands of orphan/marginalised children from the lowest strata of society and help them climb the tallest mountains - to become successful people in order that they in turn will hold the hands of others and make an impact and a difference in the lives of others in times to come, to provide a family to paralysed women and empower and mainstream them and provide the elderly a healthy, content and happy life.Unique in concept since Ghar is the creation of a joint family of daughters, mothers and grandparents all residing under one roof as one big family with the attendant sense of belongingness, security and feelings.Unique in management since Ghar has been created by an Army veteran and is managed by a team of Army veterans.1. Ghar becomes a model in terms of providing residential facilities and quality care in the catchment area for orphan/marginalised girls and for their quality education and overall development.2.  Improved school retention and performance standards of children.3.  Realisation of the potential of orphan/marginalised girls in sports and extracurricular activities.4.  Mainstreaming of women with locomotive disabilities.
