She makes the world bright, but still struggles to see light.
Rescue foundation was established to accelerate the progress on meeting needs of survivors. While rehabilitation we stand behind survivor’s equal participation in all aspects of their lives, focusing on five priority areas: enhance knowledge by providing formal and informal education, help them to upgrade their healthy, increase strength to face the world with legal aid program, self-realization and actualization by counselling and build a new confidence and economically sustainability by vocational training and providing jobs.
Our four protective homes is an actual home for them where they grow, achieve energy and strength to cope and face with the world. We not only help them to learn how to face and fight under critical circumstances but also we they learn how to nurture own self and live in harmony hence after.
Besides Challenge of identification of our investigators in the brothel or Attacks of perpetrators on us, we are still optimistic toward any risk to save innocent lives from the clutches of evil. It also strengthens us to develop more and more effective strategies to attain our goal of rendering humanitarian lives to more and more girls and help them regain their human rights.

Achievements
International Yoga Day 2026 Celebrations at Rescue Foundation.
As we celebrate International Yoga Day today, we are also delighted to share that more than 20 girls at our Mumbai shelter successfully completed a Yoga Teacher Training Course conducted by the Yoga Institute earlier this month. This achievement is the result of countless hours of dedication, practice, and perseverance, and we are immensely proud of their commitment and accomplishment.
Vocational Training:
Most girls arrive at our shelter scared and unsure of what comes next. Through vocational training, education, and skill-building classes, we help them find their footing again and build the independent lives they deserve. All our classes are conducted by our survivors as part of the Ekatra Project, aimed at empowering the girls to become trainers themselves. Every class is proof that healing can turn into leadership.
Celebrating Raksha Bandhan
Behind every safe step is a community that stands together.
Celebrating Rakshabandhan by honouring the police officers and supporters who continuously protect, empower, and uplift. Here’s to love, resilience, and the unspoken bonds that keep us all safe and strong!
Happy Independence Day.
This Independence Day, the staff and girls across our four shelter homes came together to celebrate 80 years of India’s freedom. As we remember the courage and sacrifices that won us our freedom, let’s also remember the sisters who are still fighting for theirs. May we continue to stand with them, protect their freedom, and help them build a future of their own.
