What’s Happening Now
Completion of Phase Two of our third John Foundation campus in Ramanthapur
This milestone for our partner, John Foundation, 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.
Love & Lies in a Mumbai Police Station
Our partner, Kranti, has been sharing incredible stories from their team and from the young ladies they support.

“Good afternoon, ma’am. Please come to Kandivali police station quickly. We found another body in the national park this morning. She looks about sixteen to twenty.”
Five days earlier, Pinky had stepped off a train from an adventure camp. She never came home. Two days later, I filed a missing person report. One day after that, the police started calling me to identify every teenage body that turned up in Mumbai.
I brushed past Shweta on our narrow staircase. “I’m headed to the station again,” I told her. “Pray it isn’t Pinky.”
She nodded calmly. “I’ll pray for this girl in general. Hopefully it isn’t Pinky. But she’s still somebody’s daughter.”
Kranti Dorm Needed
Our partner in India, Kranti, is continuing to expand its safe home for girls from the red-light areas — creating a place where safety, dignity, and hope can thrive. With the addition of a new girls’ dormitory, even more young women will finally have a comfortable, secure place to sleep at night. Because everyone deserves that.
Thanks to a generous anonymous donor, every gift toward building the dorm will be matched 1:1 up to $40,000. That means every dollar you give will be doubled and will make twice the impact.
Will you join us in making this possible? Please indicate “Kranti Dorm” in the notes with your donation.
WE BELIEVE EVERYONE DESERVES TO BE FREE AND SAFE.
That’s why we provide:

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.
