ABOUT CLEAN HEART
Helping Each Other can Make World Better
Mr. Guy Rodrigues, Co-Founder & Trustee of Sahasee Embers
and his wife Mrs. Vani Guy Rodrigues, since 2009, have been
involved in humanitarian work in and around the slums of
Navi Mumbai. They were ordinary citizens moved by the
extraordinary suffering of the people who are victims of
trafficking, they began their work with practical deeds such
as medical camps, cleanliness drives and awareness programs
on girl safety. They provided monthly ration and during the
rains distributed plastic as covering for their shanties.
In 2017, when we had conducted a medical camp in the slum of
Turbhe, Navi Mumbai. We invited the sex workers of the Red
Light Area to come with their Children. On further
investigation we came to know that the child was suffering
from trauma. We asked the people of the red light area and
they confirmed that she was the daughter of a sex worker .
she had been raped at the age of 4 by her mothers customer.
