Organization Brief
Jan Vikas Kendra (JVK) Hazaribag is the social service wing of the catholic diocese of Hazaribag. JVK has been closely working with various missionary organizations that work for the rescue, rehabilitation and empowerment of sexually exploited women and children. We endeavor to provide a decent and dignified childhood to these marginalized children. This proposal seeks financial support for a project to rescue and rehabilitate physically & mentally exploited minor girls from trafficking networks.
The goals of this project are to generate mass awareness, to rescue children and minor girls from the clutches of traffickers, to expose the organized networks of human trafficking, to rehabilitate and reintegrate the rescued girls and children, to create awareness, to provide training programs for self-help groups and to influence policy making related to anti-trafficking. To realize our goals, we need financial assistance to complete the construction of a rescue and rehabilitation center and for future rescue operations. In addition, we also require funds to provide food, education, vocational training, health care and entertainment for the children of sexually exploited women and rescued minor girls and to pay the salaries of the staff for three years.
In the year 1995 the Diocese of Hazaribag was bifurcated from the Diocese of Daltonganj comprising the civil districts of Hazaribag, Bokaro, Ramgarh, Chatra and Koderma. The new Diocese realizing the need for social involvements and public contact opened the Jan Vikas Kendra as the social service wing of the Catholic Diocese of Hazaribagh.
