Gram Niyojan Kendra (GNK) Rajasthan
A crusade against tradition based trafficking and prostitution.
In Bharatpur, Rajasthan, GNK works to break generational prostitution disguised as tradition. Fathers and brothers of the Bhedia tribe push their girls into prostitution at puberty. This sordid trade is fuelled by poverty. GNK is helping to break the vicious cycle through education. After decades in rented premises, their dedicated school opened its doors in June 2012. In addition to formal education, they offer vocational skills training for boys and girls to give them alternative careers. They are working for a total change in the mindset of fathers, brothers, mothers, daughters, in fact of the entire community.
Through programmes sponsored by the LILY Foundation, we are helping GNK to develop enterprises and generate employment.
”I am so glad that now there are so many options to earn money through education and training. The old ways can remain in the past and our girls can earn a different living. I am glad they don’t have to go through what I did to put food in my stomach.”
Vimala, former prostitute and mother of a student in GNK

Prajwala
In order to prevent second generation trafficking, Prajwala runs transition centres, where vulnerable children from poor localities are educated and bridged into mainstream schooling.
Through prevention, rescue, rehabilitation and social reintegration Prajwala helps to restore hope and dignity to victims of trafficking. Prajwala, meaning "eternal flame" has been run by its founder Sunitha Krishnan since 2005. She is a visionary leader who has galvanised India's anti-trafficking movement by coordinating government, corporations and NGOs. The organisation currently runs 17 schools throughout Hyderabad for 5,000 children and has rescued more than 7,900 women from prostitution - 2,500 of whom Sunitha Krishnan has personally liberated.
Prajwala trains girls rescued from sex trafficking as carpenters, printers, masons, security guards, cab drivers, etc. giving each one of them a chance to excel in their chosen field, gain confidence, dignity, and hope for the future.
LILY has provided Prajwala with three years annual running costs at £42,000 per
annum.
We have also helped them to purchase two new vehicles, worth approximately
£30,000.

‟Truthfully, I do not know what the future will hold for these women and children. But I do know what their present would be, and for me it's one day at a time right now. And my effort is to see that their smiles are restored every day, and that I can sustain their smile.To have that supported by someone like you who believes so passionately is a blessing indeed.

STOP India, Delhi

It also offers specialized counseling for teenagers and younger children about the dangers of trafficking, knowledge of reproductive health and other VAW issues at home at in the community.

The organization engages in advocacy at the national, regional and international levels on the issues of trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation.
Our sponsorship will help STOP to form vigilant committees in migrants’ slums and generate awareness within those communities to work against possible trafficking.

Anyay Rahit Zindagi (ARZ) Goa
Pioneering ways to integrate survivors back into society
ARZ has been combating trafficking in Goa for the past eleven years. Their work covers the entire spectrum from awareness, rescue, rehabilitation, protection, health, repatriation, after care, lobbying and prosecution of traffickers. ARZ believes that to have any impact on this “business” of commercial sexual exploitation, it’s vital to weaken the demand and that’s only possible if the entire network of stakeholders – government organizations, other non-government organizations, academia, civil society, victims, the media and the affected population, are all engaged.
Through our sponsored programme, LILY Foundation will help ARZ to ensure that victims of trafficking have justice and help through legal aid, protection, trauma counselling.

Odanadi, Mysore
Providing alternative means of livelihood for the survivors
Odanadi is an anti-trafficking organization based in Mysore, South India, working for the rescue, rehabilitation and reintegration of trafficked women and children. It was founded over twenty years ago by two journalists, Stanly and Parashuram. Whilst researching a story on the streets of Mysore, a chance meeting with a prostitute named Radhamma changed their lives forever. She challenged them to do something more than just write about the lives of the most marginalised and exploited women. The two quit journalism and founded Odanadi. They have rescued over 2,000 men, women and children through 57 raids into brothels. They have also brought more than 137 traffickers to justice. At the same time, they have educated 20,000 villagers about the dangers of trafficking.
With LILY sponsorship, Odanadi could develop sustainable enterprise for 40 women rescued from trafficking, giving them a stable income and making them independent

PRERNA, MUMBAI.
Mumbai has thousands of brothel-based prostitutes who have children growing up the red light area. They are vulnerable to all forms of depravity, violence and exploitation, and daughters are forced to follow their mothers example, whilst boys learn to pimp their own mothers and sisters. The Prerana project has worked there 1986 and pioneered several path-breaking interventions to prevent this second generation trafficking. They run shelter homes, anti-trafficking and night care centres that provide children a safe environment. They were the first organisation in the world that implemented a comprehensive education programme in a red light district that continues even today.
