Who We Are
About
We employ a multi-disciplinary approach with our four shelter homes functioning as a hub for all our operations. They serve as healing spaces as well as training centers with various educational, vocational and recreational activities. We provide assistance for higher education, job placements, marriage, etc. to support the survivors for their onward journeys. Our multi-stakeholder process includes working with the jurisdiction, foreign embassies, and partner NGOs to prosecute traffickers, claim compensation, provide aftercare services and ensure that the survivors are able to go back to their home towns, and live a life free from slavery.
The big why
A Chance Encounter
In 1993, Mrs. Triveni Balkrishna Acharya, the presiding co-founder of Rescue Foundation and a former journalist landed in the lanes of Kamathipura to cover a story.
Was it an inquisitive mind or an intuitive spirit, we still can’t tell – but something pushed her to explore the lanes of the Red-light area. Not knowing what to expect, she slid aside the curtains covering a brothel’s entrance and walked in. What she saw, was a scene so stark, that it was to change the lives of thousands.
Heavily painted eyelids, dark, chapping lipstick, powdered cheeks, well-aged jewellery pulling at ears and noses - all on strikingly young faces. Faces of Adolescent Girls – bought, sold, stolen from Nepal and forced into prostitution.
What We Do
Our Programs
Every shelter home of Rescue Foundation, implements the three key programs of the organization. Equipped with a holistic care model, trusted staff and a solid infrastructure, every home is built as a safe haven for the survivors to heal and grow.
