Give.do is in conversation with Leena Kejriwal of Missing Link Trust, an organization that works toward the prevention of human trafficking and forced prostitution. The NGO was founded in 2014 in response to the increasing incidents of girls going missing and ultimately being forced into prostitution in red-light districts. Its founder is Leena Kejriwal, an artist who used her craft to raise awareness about these disturbing crimes against girls. Missing Link Trust runs a prevention program in more than 600 schools and has educated over 1.75 lakh children on how to identify traffickers and keep themselves and their friends safe.

Atchayam Trust was born out of a chance encounter that the founder had with a homeless man at a bus stand who had been abandoned by his family.

Begging, he shares, is a desperate plea for mercy which we should respond to by aiming to not merely satisfy a homeless person's immediate needs but also make a sustainable and long-term positive impact in their lives.
