Rescue Foundation is a non-profit, government recognized and registered NGO
working for rescue, rehabilitation and repatriation of victims for human
trafficking from different parts of India, Nepal & Bangladesh and sold for
forced prostitution. Over a period of last eight years, we have achieved the
organizational capabilities and experience to fulfill our duties to this most
neglected segment of our society. We ensure that women's human rights are
respected, protected, and fulfilled
Established in 2000 by the late Balkrishna Acharya, Rescue Foundation is now
managed by his wife Triveni, a former journalist. On an average, it helps rescue
300 girls a year.
We start with tracking the leads we get from the missing person's records.
Then we investigate, verify the information and conduct rescue raids with
police's help. The girls are then brought to the protective home, where
they undergo a medical examination and follow a strict health regimen. Nearly 20
percent of the girls we rescue are HIV positive. We move them to our second
centre in Boisar, Thane district.
Till date, Rescue Foundation has rescued over 2,000 girls from brothels
across Maharashtra. The NGO plans to have offices in New Delhi and Bhopal soon. Currently Rescue Foundation is managed with a staff of more than 50
people.
Rescue Foundation is involved in multifarious activities for
rescuing, rehabilitating, reintegrating and repatriating the unfortunate,
underprivileged girls and children from hell to human society.
