The Bright Eyes Organisation team is now working ” hands on” in India having visited in Feb 2016 to start the process to help establish a long term support program for these projects in Mumbai The setting up of a group home is another way to support young woman on the road to recovery. A group home enables these young women to live independently and allows them to re connect with the local community and to establish a stable home for them to integrate back into society.
A group home is not just a physical place for a group to stay together, but includes the provision of regular psycho-social care, development of a mutual support group among the residents and appropriate neighborhood individuals and ongoing mentoring.

Project Mumbai $10,000 fundraising program
Our project commenced February 2014 and the challenge was to raise the first $10,000 to establish a dedicated rescue home.
The great news is that with your support, we raised the money creating a safe haven for at least 20 children. The Rescue Home will be a place where the children can be restored emotionally and mentally and have a valuable education program. The Rescue Home will be an environment without fear. The Rescue home will be a place where they can learn how to play again, hear laughter and most importantly learn to trust those around them.
On behalf of the children of the Mumbai Rescue Home I would like to say how much we appreciated your support on this project.
