Rescue Foundation has been rescuing, rehabilitating & repatriating unfortunate girls/women/children who’re trafficked from different parts of India, Nepal and Bangladesh and are sold for forced prostitution in brothels in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Bhiwandi, Turbhe and Pune. The girls undergo such inhuman atrocities, physical and mental torture and brainwash in the brothels that we can not even think that one human being can inflict such disastrous pain to another human being for money.

Saving them from this inhuman treatment is not an end in itself. We provide them safe, protective shelter at Mumbai with complete health care including HIV/AIDS, vocational training so that they become self-reliant on sustainable basis, provide detailed legal advice including entire legal procedure to punish traffickers, brothel keepers and other anti-social elements. We then repatriate them to their families wherever they are situated. Or to our colleague NGOs in the source area who in turn rehabilitate and repatriate them to their families.

Mrs. Triveni Balkrishna Acharya has been senior journalist with Mumbai Samachar newspaper in Mumbai from 1991 to 2005. She has been elected as President of ''Rescue Foundation'' a non-profit non-government registered foundation .
As President of the foundation , she is not only involved in managing the affairs of the NGO efficiently but also takes a lead in conducting raids personally on the brothels in red light areas of Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Bhiwandi, Turbhe and Pune.
She never looked back in her work, she became the backbone for the organization.
             

 Being a very courageous & sympathetic lady, she succeeded well. She strongly believes that it is the responsibility of the well endowed and educated conscious people like us to rescue them and resurrect them as respectable citizens. Rescuing unfortunate girls/women/children from their evil clutches of brothel keepers is a very ominous and pious duty of the society.

She is committed to protecting & promoting human rights of women, girls & children by working to eradicate trafficking in India . She has established a very intricate network with police, informers, past victims and colleague NGOs etc. So far we have successfully rescued and repatriated more than 1000 girls/women/children. Her commitment to the humanitarian cause is so strong that she attends to the rescue work herself which requires tremendous courage on her part even at risk to her life while raiding the brothels.

She handles all very diverse activities very efficiently indeed. At times, she is discussing investigation conducted with her staff & informers & then raiding the brothels ruthlessly with police. At another time, she is emotionally counseling with psycho-social element, the girls rescued from the forced prostitution and giving them hope of integrating with respectable society.

She is nominated on the advisory board for Child & Women Welfare by the Central as well as State Govt. of Maharashtra.
Her work as President of Rescue Foundation is being very explicitly appreciated in numerous articles published in magazines abroad. Even back home, she has been felicitated by many articles in press.
