The strength of VIHAAN’s work lies in the passion, tenacity and commitment of strong partnerships. We have shown the world that change is possible when we are united; together, we have pushed back the darkness and brought light and hope in the lives of hundreds of children and women.

At this moment, I want to express my immense gratitude for your commitment and support to victims and survivors of human trafficking.
Let’s look at the impact of the six programmes you made together with VIHAAN in 2024.
I am grateful for what we have achieved. I trust that you have witnessed the extraordinary journey of VIHAAN as well.
However, there are countless children and women caught in human trafficking and are undergoing immeasurable suffering, abuse and exploitation every single day. VIHAAN, along with partners and supporters like you, continue to fill their lives with hope and empower them for new beginnings.
We are ready with our five-year Strategic Plan 2025-2030. As we scale up the impact of six programmes, we will focus on three projects:
Child-friendly Block aims to build resilient and child-friendly communities by creating a model block, in collaboration with government and non-government stakeholders, where every child will enjoy a protective right-based environment facilitating their holistic development. We have identified two blocks which are the hotspots for child trafficking, child sexual abuse and child prostitution – one in southern West Bengal and another in western Karnataka.
Safe Home for survivors of human trafficking and other forms of abuse and exploitation will be a safe space with accommodation facilities where survivors can stay up to 12 months seeking immediate support, and short-term care facilitating their reintegration and empowerment.
VIHAAN’s Centre for Community Empowerment seeks to create safe spaces or hubs within vulnerable communities to promote education and skill training among survivors of human trafficking and vulnerable girls.
Your ongoing commitment means the world to the vulnerable children and women, and survivors of human trafficking. Your generosity opens extraordinary hopeful pathways; a bright new dawn in thousands of people’s lives.
Thank you for being with us. Let us move forward together, as united we are stronger.
With deep appreciation and gratitude,
Samir Baptist,
Chief Executive Officer, VIHAAN
