Wind of Freedom: No to human trafficking

One of the biggest problems in this city of Mumbai is sexual exploitation and human trafficking, especially in the Kamathipura district where Mumbai Smiles has been working for the past 3 years. The proposed project for Give a Hand will offer psychological support to victims-girls and women. Access to adapted therapies through music and art, skills development programs, as well as access to a safe shelter. The trainings developed by the organization will focus on making textile crafts (cushions and bags), cosmetics or candles for sale to support the participants and the school programs of Mumbai Smiles. Over 280 women will participate in this important program against violence, human trafficking, and sexual exploitation

Partnership Give a Hand and Mumbai Smiles,
Give a Hand partnered with Mumbai Smiles in 2013, to initiate a Life Skills program for girls. This program was the first of a series that focuses on supporting at risk youth and children in communities where the organisation works. Give a Hand is thrilled to have supported over the years different programs and initiatives with Mumbai Smiles and we look forward in pursuing our partnership in years to come.
