Navjeevan is a registered non-governmental organisation primarily
engaged in
rehabilitating the children of women working in the red-light areas in Mumbai. It was founded as part of the effort
of the Mar Thoma Church to reach out to the several thousand girls who have been lured into living a life of shame
in the mean streets of the metropolis formerly called Bombay.
We have the license as “Balashram” from Women and Child Welfare Department. |
|
Navjeevan combines two simple Indian
words “nav” (new)
and “jeevan” (life). |
|
| Its origin dates back to 1994 when
a group of youth set about to interact with the children
of the women who ply the world's oldest trade in a sprawling
ghetto called Kamathipura. The idea simply was to engage
the kids constructively and thereby spare them the terror
of witnessing the sordid scenes in the dingy alleys and
bylanes in the area. Over the years Navjeevan gradually
stepped up its involvement and today has assumed total
responsibility for the education and upkeep of a number
of children in the Navjeevan Village. |
