Review for CentsofRelief, New Haven, CT, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Cents of Relief is dedicated to the women and children who are trapped in the red light districts of India. Not only do they see potential in these women and children who have been victimized, trafficked and abused, but they work hard to link them with appropriate resources, support, and opportunities. Cents of Relief is working on creative initiatives that will have a positive, meaningful impact for many women: ~Anup is linking burn victims with plastic surgeons in the hopes that they will be able to regain a sense of normalcy in their daily lives after surgery (for example, simply putting on their own sari). ~Rina is spearheading a new program where women are given work outside the red light district, sewing ties out of old sari fabric. These beautiful ties will then be sold in shops and boutiques. ~you can always look at their website of facebook page for more accurate & timely info
