About This Project

Summary

We enrol children from the red light areas of Kolkata, Delhi, Forbesganj and Bhiwandi/Mumbai into classrooms in our community centres all over India. Our team of teachers then prepare them for school. Then we admit and sponsor them in mainstream schools and even colleges. We provide after school tuition, food and martial art classes as well. They are children of first generational learners as they are offspring of prostitited women and with our support they get out of the cycle of prostitution.

Goals & Objectives

To end sex trafficking and create a world in which no child is bought or sold.

Results & Impact

We have educated 3, 973 children though school and college in India and have broken the cycle on inter-generational prostitition in their families. Instead of being sold into prostitution these children are now chefs, teachers, nurses, lawyers, police officers, call centre operators and guards.
