Support My Campaign
Tata Mumbai Marathon 2024

In India, child sexual abuse (CSA) happens at such a high rate that it may be safe to call it an epidemic. According to the widely cited 2007 study by Ministry of Women and Child Development, 53% of children in India experience one or more forms of sexual abuse before they turn 18 years old.

To this end, HEAL emerged as a project which envisions a community that upholds, understands and values the rights of its children by protecting them from sexual abuse.

Our mission is to prevent sexual abuse of children through the tool of education. We aim to enable all involved to understand, recognize, learn preventive methods and respond sensitively to child sexual abuse.

Our work revolves around conducting child safety workshops with Teachers, followed by Parents. Post this, we conduct personal body safety workshop with children from Grade 1 to Grade 10, where we teach them about body safety, right names of private body parts, personal space, physical boundaries and safe and unsafe touch.

About Me
My name is Meher Maitra, and I'm a 16-year-old student studying at The Cathedral and John Connon School (11th standard). I've decided to start a fundraising campaign to support an incredible NGO (The HEAL Foundation) that's dedicated to stopping child sexual abuse. You might be wondering, why this cause? The answer is simple: - I believe that every child deserves a safe and happy childhood. It's heartbreaking to think that so many children out there suffer from this terrible abuse, and it is our responsibility to help protect them. No child should ever have to go through such a traumatic experience. - I've seen how this issue affects lives, it could happen to any of us, our friends, or even someone in our family. It's not something we can ignore. - So, I'm dedicating my time and energy to raise funds for this NGO because I want to be a part of the solution. I want to support the tireless efforts of those working to prevent child sexual abuse. Together, we can make a real impact and ensure a safer, happier future for children everywhere. - I hope you'll join me in this important journey, and together, we can work towards a world where every child can grow up without fear and pain. Thank you for your support.
