WHAT IS KRANTI
--Kranti empowers girls from India's red-light areas to become agents of social change and happiness!!!
--Kranti means “Revolution” in Hindi - and we are a Revolution in every sense of the word! We believe that girls from red-light areas have an added value as change agents and community leaders, not “despite” their background, but because of it. Given access to the same education, training, and opportunities as people from mainstream backgrounds, the Krantikaris will become exceptional leaders ‒ more innovative, compassionate, and resilient due to their life experiences
WHAT MAKES KRANTI DIFFERENT FROM OTHER
At other NGOs, girls will come in at a young age, start school, finish 12th, and go on to get a job, get married, or go back to Kamathipura. At Kranti, we accept girls even if they’re 18-21 and have no idea what they want in life. Alongside Kranti School, we give them a year or two to learn, travel, and explore. If the Krantikari wants to go to university or start working, we will do everything to prepare, train, and support her until she achieves her goal. Every girl should be able to dream!
