Since 2007, we have seen numerous first-generation educated children graduate from our projects and transition to tertiary and postgraduate-level study, while one of our projects has ensured that no child has followed their parents' footsteps into second-generation prostitution in a red light district which constitutes an extension of Asia's largest red light district, Sonagachi!
