What’s Happening Now
We’re thrilled to announce the completion of Phase Two of construction at our third campus in Ramanthapur
This milestone includes four new residential blocks each featuring 10 apartments. Beginning November 1st, these beautiful new spaces will open their doors to welcome new residents.
With this expansion, we’re now able to provide a safe, supportive home for even more children in our school and young women in our skills training center, empowering them to learn, grow, and build brighter futures.
We’re looking forward to the joyful, vibrant community soon to fill these halls with life, laughter, and learning.
Your ongoing support helps us build and grow programs to help more women and girls vulnerable to trafficking.
Why I Returned to the Red Light Area
One of our partner organizations, Kranti, has been sharing incredible stories from their team, and from the young ladies they support.
Here is Shweta’s story. Read in full HERE.
“They said I had a 10% chance of surviving.
That’s the number doctors gave me when I was diagnosed with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB) in 2017. I was 22. For two years, I endured daily injections, experimental drug trials, and months of being bedridden. There were days I couldn’t walk. Nights I thought would be my last. Weeks I questioned whether I’d ever have a future. I lost weight, I lost hair, I almost lost my eyesight. The doctors prepared me for the worst. But what they didn’t prepare me for was surviving—and what to do with the life I was given back.”
Aaravi's Story
Aaravi was just a baby when her father passed away after a long illness. Her mother, a daily wage laborer, struggled to keep working while caring for her daughter alone. It became harder to put food on the table, and the family fell deeper into debt.
In search of a better future for her child, Aaravi’s mother brought her to one of our safe homes. Here, Aaravi found more than shelter – she found stability, education, and the encouragement she needed to thrive. She became a school captain, a mentor to the younger girls in her home, and a shining example of resilience.
Last year, Aaravi graduated from high school. Today, she is pursuing a course that will lead her to become a doctor.
“I want to become a doctor so I can help people like my mom, who couldn’t afford medical care,” she says.
WE BELIEVE EVERYONE DESERVES TO BE FREE AND SAFE.

Wholesale With Purpose
We learned that we can make faster progress toward our mission through revenue that we reinvest in our cause. So, we partner with wholesalers, distributors and corporations that want to “do good” by selling apparel and accessories hand-crafted by women we support who choose tailoring as their profession.
