Educate >500 children: Red Light District, Kolkata

Organization information

VITAL

Location: London, United Kingdom

Summary

VITAL empowers and facilitates children living in Kolkata's red-light district of Rambagan to circumvent second-generation prostitution. The area is an extension of Asia's LARGEST red-light district (Sonagachi) and susceptible to child protection abuses. We work at grassroots level to raise awareness and provide education, healthcare, protection and counselling to children and parents. Since the project started, NO child has followed their parents' footsteps into second-generation prostitution!
