Each year, it is estimated that 135,000 children are trafficked in India to be exploited in fields, brothels or as domestic workers. Their childhood is stolen.
This year Adventure Ashram is inviting the UK’s most loved curry businesses; from street food vendors to Michelin starred restaurants to unite in support of our 2023 Karma Curry campaign.
We need to raise £11,000 to fund the Odanadi home for trafficked boys in Mysore, South India. The home provides food, counselling, training and a bed to 30 boys at any one time.

Make a one-off donation

Donate a % or £1 from a curry on your menu such as a South Indian dish or product.

“Leaving situations of exploitation and trafficking can be risky and complicated. Then rebuilding your life after leaving is so difficult unless you have the right support, which is why Odanadi is so important. By supporting this campaign, you are really making a difference to survivors of exploitation and human trafficking in India” Kathryn Baldacchino, Trustee at Adventure Ashram and Head of Anti-Trafficking at the British Red Cross
