Inked For Safety

Inking their skin for a safer tomorrow

Every day, around 5 children disappear in the crowded and confusing Mumbai local train system. This is a terrible problem for the IRCTC (Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation). These children are sadly taken advantage of by criminals who force them into trafficking, begging, or even child slavery. There are police and railway staff around, but the real difficulty is getting these lost kids back to their families. Because they're often too young to remember phone numbers or addresses, the children have to wait with NGOs until their families are found.

The Challenge? Bringing these kids back home.
