Education for a Girl At Risk of Exploitation- India

Mumbai’s Red-Light District has more than 3,000 young women and girls trapped in prostitution, but they are not the only ones in danger. While poverty has led them to “work” on the streets and in brothels, their children are often neglected and left vulnerable to brothel owners and traffickers. Many of these children are malnourished, unprotected, and face barriers to education that could help provide a way out of the Red-Light District.

The Salvation Army’s Aruna Children’s Shelter stands against child abuse and exploitation by providing holistic care, protection and education to girls in Mumbai’s Red-Light District.

Your gift of a scholarship will support the education of a girl at risk of exploitation in Mumbai’s Red-Light District.
