Dedicated to helping one of the most exploited groups - sex workers, this NGO has spent 6 years establishing strong ties with the women it seeks to empower. Abused in every sense of the word these women know they have a safe place to go to...be it to sleep, wash up, or even just talk.
Addressing their problems and supporting them to get proper health care and to manage their money in microsavings accounts, Apne Aap chooses to attack the problem from a much wider angle. It provides a creche facility for the toddlers of the women and educational faciltites like after schooltuitions and vocational training for their older daughters. This way they try to ensure that second generation prostitution is prevented...and so far... this "Sparrow' Programme with the young girls has been 100% successful.
