Reducing Inequalities
Domestic violence, bonded labour, trafficking and abandonment of the elderly are raging issues that need to be addressed at many levels to bring about real, attitudinal change in society. We support women facing gender-based violence by offering practical legal guidance and training in livelihood skills to make them financially independent. Our efforts extend to rescuing and rehabilitating women and children who have been victims of trafficking and bonded labour, providing them with a safe haven and the necessary support to rebuild their lives. Our Give with Dignity initiative during Covid, supported the elderly and other vulnerable communities with monthly groceries and other daily essentials.
Our Focus Areas
Care for Women
Many women are subjected to domestic abuse, but few have the courage to walk out of that toxic situation. We help survivors of gender-based violence by offering legal support for domestic violence cases and promote financial independence by training them in livelihood skills.

Care for Children
In association with the British Asian Trust and Railway Children India, we promote child rights by eliminating bonded labour and child trafficking in susceptible communities in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, and Uttar Pradesh.We ensure the resettlement and further education of these rescued children.

Marginalised Marriages
When rural couples from underprivileged communities make the decision of choosing out-of-caste partners, they are usually shunned by their own families. So they have to resort to a communal wedding. To help them start a new life together, we reach out with essentials such as groceries, kitchenware and cupboards.

We also build crematoriums and cemeteries so that rural communities may leave the world with dignity. They are furnished with toilets, bathing spaces, seating areas, a space for rituals and the necessary equipment.
