Jeevan Aadhar

“Jeevan Aadhar values each life as unique and special and empowers survivors of violent sexual oppression to reach their full potential in becoming important dignified contributors to society. Jeevan Aadhar provides housing, education, therapy and community to survivors bringing them to a place of wholeness while preparing them for reintegration to everyday life. We do this by having group homes where these young women live in a loving family style environment. Through this process we are able to guide each survivor through the process of building self-worth and self-respect. This environment also allows for these young women to learn skills necessary for independent living.” JA

We are excited to turn our friendship with Jeevan Aadhar into a partnership. We look forward to supporting them in their mission to empower survivors of trafficking. To learn more about this mission and their work in Mumbai, India, please visit their website here.
