Vision Recue provides feeds and provides non-formal education to 1000 street children per day on the streets of Mumbai, India, where it is estimated there are over 300,000 street children and only 15,000 who receive any support at all. A lot of the children are Dalit, part of the lowest caste in India and as such these children often have very little sense of self worth or the expectation of a better life or future. This program also has a special focus on girls who are at a high risk of being trafficked into prostitution.

Children living on the streets of Mumbai are prime targets for traffickers who trap the children into begging rings, criminal activities and even prostitution. The average age of children on the street is 7 years old with many of them addicted to drugs or alcohol by the age of 8. By the time most girls reach 13 they will have been sexually abused or raped.

Through specially converted buses which run 6 days per week, Vision Rescue provides lessons in Hindi, maths, health, hygiene and moral sciences along with singing, games and a nutritious meal. Other annual program goals include 100 children to transition into formal education settings, 100 children graduate to vocational training, 100 students receive ongoing tutoring and follow-up, highly vulnerable children placed into safe accommodation and trafficking awareness program reaching 14 communities.
