We believe in equal education, especially important in slums where the uneducated are targets for opportunists. 10 years after India's Right to Education Act guaranteed education for all up to 10 std, 75,000 children are still missing from our state classrooms. Our schools are vital in encouraging & supporting children to complete12 std & enroll in higher education. Counselling, personal development & extracurricular activities provide extra knowledge, self-belief & hope.

We provide support, empowerment, emergency rescue & healthcare to sex workers, including trafficked minors, transgenders, MSM and those affected by HIV. We enable them to become their own agents for social change, breaking the crippling cycles of exploitation. By sheltering & educating their children we prevent 2nd-generation prostitution & empower the same children to support their mothers to leave the sex trade & many also help other exploited women through social work.

We have been working to empower & end the systematic violence against women & girls in India since 1989. We believe every woman & child deserves a life free from inequality, cruelty & discrimination & we stand with them to create the lives they truly deserve. During the pandemic it is women & girls suffering most from restricted movement & freedom & financial burdens faced by families, resulting in dramatic increases in GBV, exploitation & demand for our support.

We believe in equal education & when women are educated, their whole community benefits. Wher we work, uneducated women & girls are targets for sex traffickers & ruthless opportunists yet, 10 years after India's Right to Education Act guaranteed education for all up to 10 std, 30% of girls have never set foot in a classroom. Our schools play a vital role in encouraging & supporting girls to complete 12 std & enroll in higher education, providing them knowledge, self-belief & hope.

It is heartbreaking to even contemplate that a newborn baby could be abandoned into life threatening danger by being left by the side of the road or in a garbage bin. Sadly, our team finds these babies all too often, some badly injured, malnourished or suffering with mental and other health issues, including disabilities and HIV/AIDS. Our doors are open to all without discrimination to deliver the highest levels of support and medical care and find loving families for every unwanted child.
