VOICE

Location: Bandra, Maharashtra

In 1991, in response to the needs of street children, VOICE was set up and registered as a Public Trust. VOICE believes that the potential of every child is limited only by the education, love and opportunities we can give them.The mission is to reach out to vulnerable and neglected street children and, through education, enable them become whole human beings and self-reliant, responsible, contributing citizens. Over the years, VOICE has been able to build meaningful and long-lasting relationships with street children and the communities in which they live.

VOICE has found it difficult to retain young girls in recent years even though they are often bright students because they are forced into childhood marriages or, even more horribly, sold into prostitution. For many years, VOICE has felt the need for a center that could house female street children while giving them the benefits of VOICE’s tried and proven programs in education and vocational training. WAH 2003 hopes to provide fund for a center that will be able to house up to 80-100 girls and provide the space and staff necessary for them to receive a total education that will allow them to truly become successful and self-reliant citizens.
