SUPPORTING FAMILIES OF SEX WORKERS
Mumbai’s Kamathipura red light area is known as one of the largest and oldest red light districts in Asia, housing numerous sex workers and their families. Seeing the dilapidated conditions of the kids of those sex workers, ICFDR started reaching out to their families by distributing food. ICFDR aims to alleviate hunger and offer a ray of hope to those living in vulnerable circumstances.
Understanding the Challenges
The families residing in Kamathipura face numerous challenges due to a stigma associated with their living and working. Many of these families struggle to access basic necessities, including food, as their circumstances make it difficult for them to secure stable employment or access regular means of sustenance.
Nourishing Bodies and Souls
ICFDR’s primary initiative revolves around distributing food to the families of sex workers in Kamathipura. With the help of dedicated volunteers, nutritious meals were prepared which was ensured with timely distribution within the community. This meal was typically prepared to meet the nutritional requirements of those vulnerable people.
A positive impact
Positive impact was seen in the life of the kids of those sex workers. Since they got delicious as well as healthy food from our volunteers. They enjoyed the food a lot. The children not only ate the food, but also fed that food to their mother also.
