Since 2012, the Krishna and Sandra Rao Foundation has partnered with grassroots organisations across India to protect children, empower women, and expand access to education and opportunity.
Our support helps rebuild lives with dignity, safety, and long-term strength.
This is our family’s way of giving back — with care, conviction, and heart. Since 2012, we’ve donated over £2.3 million to grassroots organisations across India, supporting work that protects, heals, and empowers those most at risk.
Behind every number is a life changed — and a quiet stand for dignity, safety, and hope.
Children protected from exploitation and harm
Learners are equipped with tools to break cycles of poverty
Survivors gaining skills to rebuild their future
Trusted local partners creating lasting change
Every act of giving is an act of courage – a quiet stand for justice, dignity, and hope. For us, giving means walking alongside survivors and communities, helping them reclaim what was lost and build futures with strength.
This isn’t charity. It’s solidarity—and a belief in the power of grassroots change.

Hidden in plain sight, child trafficking continues to devastate lives across India – an urgent crisis that demands attention, action, and accountability.
This report, developed in partnership with the Krishna Rao Foundation and iPartner India, brings to light the complex and deeply rooted nature of this issue. Drawing on the experiences of grassroots partners, legal reforms, and survivor testimonies, it reveals the cultural, systemic, and global forces that continue to drive the exploitation of children.
More than a publication, this is a call to action – to protect, to prosecute, and to stand with those working tirelessly to end child trafficking in all its forms.
The Krishna and Sandra Rao Foundation has invested £2.3 million in combating child trafficking in India.
