Ganga, Girls Homes
A home for abused, runaway and orphaned girls found living on the streets of Jaipur. The home aims to rehabilitate the girls away from begging, child labour and prostitution by giving them protection, love and development possibilities.
Girls at Ganga receive shelter, care, education and vocational training in a warm and safe environment.
Who we help
How Girls Come to Ganga
Many of the girls are sexually abused or have been sold into prostitution. Others have lost their parents, beg or are exploited in child labour such as garbage-sifting. They typically come to i-India through Child Line, or through our outreach staff at the railway station. When possible, and in the best interests of the child, she will be repatriated to her family, otherwise she will be allowed to make Ganga her home for as long as she chooses.
About the home
A Warm & Safe Place to Grow
Ganga was designed specifically for the needs of the girls — it is a spacious home in a nice neighbourhood. Most importantly, the home has an atmosphere of warmth and peace and the girls enjoy living there.
Ganga replaced the first girls home ‘Ladli’ — a name now given to i-India’s new vocational centre.
The girls at Ganga enjoy a safe, nurturing environment with resident staff who provide round-the-clock care.
What we provide
Care & Development at Ganga
The girls are provided with love, shelter, security, nutrition and medical care. They attend a local school and obtain skills training at Ladli, i-India’s vocational centre. They also learn social values and get emotional support through counselling. Resident staff live and work at Ganga where they give the girls the focused care and attention that every growing child needs.
