Dr. Girish Kulkarni founder of SNEHALAYA, Maharastra

Snehalaya is an outstanding example of how youth in the country can make a difference in the lives of people. The inspiration is Swami Vivekanda who said, "They alone live, who live for others, the rest are more dead than alive" Established in 1989, this Organisation focuses on woman and children who are victims of commercial sexual exploitation. It works towards improving the condition of commercial sex workers, stopping trafficking in minor girls, rescuing them from brothels when it becomes aware of such cases (rehabilitated more than 50 victims from the flesh trade. Snehalaya has created history by securing a conviction of 20 influential persons of that area who sexually exploited a minor girl of 14 years. All 20 of them were sentenced to Double Life Imprisonment). Provides the children of such women with a secure future by giving them health and education facilities for their overall development. Also provides medical facilities and rehabilitation for HIV+ women and children. Snehalaya runs Balbhavans in 5 major slums of Nagar and provides after school coaching to nearly 1000 students. These Balbhavans have become the centres for overall development of these slums.
