Our work for the ostracized and marginalized women in Kolkata, India
Our work
We have set up a permanent space in Kalighat where it would provide a safe space and let us conduct regular coaching classes for assisting children of sex workers with their schoolwork, as well as conduct regular telemedicine sessions among other things
Healthcare
After conducting several medical camps in 2022, and organizing blood tests, providing thermometers and medicines during a severe outbreak of Malaria and Dengue in the community, Krishnaa Foundation has now set up a permanent medical clinic in the area.
Education
From June of 2023, Krishnaa Foundation has hired teachers to conduct daily tutorial classes for the elementary and middle school students there. Besides homework help and providing help in understanding schoolwork, the teachers also conduct art classes. We intend to expand these activities in the future.
Food Aid
We regularly organize the distribution of clothes, blankets, and other essentials donated by generous individuals and partner organizations. During festivals, we provide special gifts to spread joy. Additionally, nutritious food and emergency supplies are distributed to ensure that families receive critical support when they need it most
Culture, Creativity & Connection
At Krishnaa Foundation, we believe in fostering creativity, joy, and cultural awareness among children through various activities and celebrations. From festival events like Saraswati Puja, Christmas, and Doi Utsav to creative sessions involving art, dance, and music, we ensure that children experience a vibrant and enriching environment. Additionally, we celebrate birthdays to make each child feel special and valued. These activities not only bring happiness but also help develop their social skills and cultural understanding. By organizing such events regularly, we aim to nurture well-rounded individuals who feel connected to their roots and community.
Support our cause
Krishnaa Foundation provides a safe space for children of sex workers, conducting regular coaching classes and providing them nutritious snacks. We conduct a daily medical clinic with an onsite nurse, providing medicine and access to doctors and specialists vis telemedicine.
Together, let us help the sex workers of Kalighat Kolkata, and their children, acces their basic rights to healthcare and education.
