NightCare
NightCare provides safe overnight shelter and nurturing care for babies and toddlers of sex workers in Cambodia, Bangladesh, and India.
WHAT IS NIGHTCARE?
NightCare is overnight care for babies and toddlers whose mothers work in the sex industry. While their mothers work, little ones have a safe place to sleep, eat, and play, with consistent caregivers who show them love and respect.
Children receive clean clothes, a bath, nutritious food, age-appropriate activities, and nurturing care. Our centers serve families in Cambodia, Bangladesh, and India.
WHY IS IT NEEDED?
Babies and toddlers can face abuse, neglect, and exploitation when there is no safe place for them to stay overnight. Their mothers need a dependable place where their children will be cared for while they work.
NightCare focuses on these youngest children, providing a secure environment and consistent relationships. We respect their mothers and, when possible, connect families with partner organizations for further support.
