Niharika, operating under a charitable trust
CIDAW (Child In Distress And We), was established in 2001. CIDAW
has been working for the education and rehabilitation of
children of poor women living as prostitutes in the Red Light
areas of Kolkata and suburbs. At present Niharika houses 30 boys
and girls. It is set up in a serene pollution-free countryside
on the outskirts of
Ranaghat, which is about 85 km from Kolkata,
India
Help us to help the "Children of Destiny",
so that they can lead a happy and respectable life.
Children have very little or no control over
the powerful effects of the environment around them during their
formative years. This is the reality and destiny of innumerable
children living in red-light areas where they are born - in a
world of crime and other criminal activities which, in the
course of time, pushes them back into the same vicious cycle of
prostitution that their mothers endured. As a result, many enter
adulthood as virtual cripples, and eventually become a burden to
society. To save these unfortunate and innocent souls from this
inevitable calamity, they must be removed from that environment
and educated and cared for in a loving and conducive atmosphere.
To that extent Niharika is where they find the love and solace
that allows them to live a normal life and break the destructive
cycle
