About [Edit]
Guria - works mainly in Varanasi, the holy city on the banks of the river Ganges. Nearly 300 women in Shivdaspur area work in the sex trade. Under the humanitarian vision of Ajeet Singh, several volunteers have been working for over a decade aiming to mainstream these workers, especially their children.
By educating their children and assisting them in entering mainstream schools and careers the second generation prostitution can be reduced and even averted. By channeling spare time of the prostitutes into handicrafts and cultural programs, Guria offers a lucrative alternative and life choice. About half the women come from Uttar Pradesh state (from far flung villages of UP) and the rest are trafficked from dirt-poor villages in the foothills of Nepal via Calcutta. The aim is to restore dignity and rebuild humanity and self-esteem.
VISION: End of forced prostitution & creation of a humane world where all beings co-exist in harmony with the entire creation.
MISSION: Education to children & rehabilitation, end child prostitution, stop second generation prostitution in Varanasi UP
