In conjunction with our Field Partners, Be A HERO builds Children’s Homes, schools, refugee housing, medical clinics, vocational schools, water projects and other structures that will benefit children at risk. We encourage everyone to work together with a group to raise funds for the project of their choice.
You do not need to raise the entire budget for a project – we will combine your group’s funds with others until we can build the project.
Pooja’s Wings is a multi-fronted, comprehensive solution to the rampant problem of child trafficking and slavery in North India through: anti-trafficking research, networking, mobilization, rural and urban awareness and prevention, child literacy, raid, rescue and rehab of trafficked minor girls, and the rescue of orphan and abandoned girls.
An estimated 24,000 girls PER YEAR are trafficked into the sex trade in North India and Nepal, and many thousands are trapped in child labour as slaves.
This is a massive undertaking - we have 20,000 leaders in place all across North India, ready to tackle this horrendous problem. The goal of our ambitious plan is to reduce child trafficking by 50% in 5 years, and virtually eliminate it in 10 years. We CAN DO THIS - with a little help from YOU!
· Of the over 300 million residents of North India’s Ganges River area, 75 million are children and an estimated 30 million of these are high-risk. They are malnourished, have no opportunity to get an education, and are exploited through child labor and trafficking. Their parents are at the bottom of an oppressive caste system with no way of escape.
A few documented statistics:
· In the state of Uttar Pradesh 19.2 million children are not attending school due to poverty and poor quality of schools. Most of these are engaged in child labor.
· 24,000+ unwanted girls are trafficked into sex slavery between Nepal and North India annually.
· Accounting for 34% of human trafficking, India is known as the “poisonous hub of Asia” for sex trafficking.
· India accounts for a staggering 45% of modern slavery globally.
· Of abandoned baby girls, more than 60% will end up in the sex slave trade or as child prostitutes in India’s brothels.
· Children below 16 years old constitute 19% of all rape victims in India.
· Over 12% of all prostitutes are children, and 40% of those are inducted into the profession before the age of 16. There are some attempting to rescue these children but the primary hindrance is lack of facilities and funding that would enable them to be nurtured and educated.

The C.U.R.E.

C.U.R.E. opened Rancho Ni Cristi (Ranch of Christ) in December 2015 as a campus for children rescued from the sex industry. 10 cottages are planned - 5 have been completed, along with a school and the entire site is fenced.
