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 counseling and build a new confidence and economically sustainability by vocational training and providing jobs.
Our three 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.

After spending our share of time with 12 girls from Bangladesh, we bid them a dieu last month. Their journey from rescue to repatriation was filled with hope and determination. They gained valuable skills in our shelter homes and also received training and completion certificates in tailoring and beauty. 3 minors and 9 major girls went home to Bangladesh, carrying with the masense of safety in their hearts, memories to take back, and skills to build a future. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of our Pune staff, Police staff, and all your support, we were able to empower the girls through Rescue to Repatriation.

Trainers from all homes work closely together, sharing tips, ideas and more! We finally have second line of trainers strengthening Ekatra's sustainability.
