The She’s Right Compassionate cause for February is Prajwala.
In the beginning of January, I saw the profile of Sunitha Krishnan on PBS’s Religion and Ethics Newsweekly. I highly recommend that you watch the video or read the transcript of the interview with this amazing woman.
From PBS,
Krishnan began working to combat sexual violence in what she says is its most pervasive form — prostitution. After getting a doctorate in social work, she and a Catholic brother, who died in 2005, founded Prajwala, which means “eternal flame.” It is dedicated to removing — she says rescuing — women from brothels. It begins with helping their children. In 1995 she started a school with five children. Today, aside from this boarding school for HIV positive kids, Prajwala runs 17 schools across the city of Hyderabad with 5,000 children.
I hope that you would consider supporting Prajwala.
