Nidhi’s Journey to a Safer, Brighter Future (name changed)
At just 16, Nidhi was living at the New Delhi Railway Station with her parents, who were beggars. Realising the dangers of sexual exploitation and trafficking for sex work, her parents placed her in a shelter home. She soon adapted, made friends, and began learning about safety, the value of education, and even took up Taekwondo classes during the COVID-19 lockdown.
In April 2023, Nidhi joined SPID (Society for Participatory and Integrated Development) Kishori Home (Adolescent's home), where she learned tailoring, received a healthy diet, and pursued her studies. Later, her mother revealed that Nidhi’s father was abusive, and requested that she continue staying at the Home for her safety.
Today, Nidhi is in the 9th grade, a top student, and dreams of becoming a lawyer. She is confident, independent, and actively helps others at SPID organisation.
This is just one story — and thanks to your support, there are many “Nidhis” who are rewriting their futures.
To nurture the children’s creativity, Kishori Home organizes art and drawing competitions, where they work in groups, learning teamwork and collaboration. Alongside art, the children are developing digital literacy and vocational skills, empowering them with the knowledge and tools to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
The children also had the opportunity to visit the Science Museum, where they explored scientific methods from ancient, medieval, and modern times. Such experiences expand their horizons, helping them understand the world better and prepare for the next phases of life.
Your unwavering support has allowed these children to dream — both with their eyes open and closed.
With heartfelt gratitude,
