Kranti means Revolution.

Kranti seeks to support girls who are survivors of sex trafficking or are daughters of sex workers in Mumbai by providing food and shelter and equipping them with skills set through vocational training to help them sustain a life free of the sex trade they otherwise would fall victim to.  It empowers girls from Mumbai’s red light area to become agents of social change. It currently works with 20 girls, aged 14-22 years, who are survivors of trafficking or are daughters of sex workers. Kranti provides formal/informal education, extra-curricular activities, mental/physical healthcare and vocational training.  

In 2014, Kranti's girls wrote, directed and performed a play ‘Lal Batti Express’, meaning Red-Light Express. It is a compilation of the life stories and experiences of these Krantikaris (Revolutionaries), a journey of their past and present and their hopes for their future. They have performed in dozens of theatres and festivals in India, helping to change the mind sets of thousands of people about sex workers and their children.

The Kranti girls are currently in the UK because their award winning play was invited to perform at the Edinburgh Film Festival.

Although their accommodation and travel costs have been funded, the Kranti girls have almost no money for food and day-to-day living during their stay here in the UK. 

OKA have provided a grant of £1,000 to help towards purchase of food and day-to-day requirements during their stay in the UK. 

Pyramid Pharmacy, a leading supportive Sponsor of One Kind Act, have also donated 20 full packs of toiletries to the girls.
