Disasters strike unanticipated resulting into major loss of lives and properties. The Foundation has set up a Disaster Relief Assistance Unit (DRAU) at its Mumbai Office. With its limited resources, the Foundation has pledged itself to provide, wherever possible, the humanitarian relief and assistance to the disaster affected families and individuals in the country. The relief services would include reception, processing and distribution of relief materials which may include food materials, clothing, bedding, medicines etc. in the disaster affected areas. Such services would also include networking with other local, national and international organisations to streamline relief services.
Children Are Not Protected -- Filipino children are trafficked to countries in Africa, the Middle East, Western Europe and Southeast Asia, where they are sexually exploited. Traffickers loan parents a sum of money, which the girl must repay to the trafficker through forced prostitution. In one case, a Filipino woman rented her 9-year-old niece to foreign men for sex, and eventually sold her to a German pedophile.
