India, devastated by the Covid-19 second wave, is experiencing an increase in the number of orphans, exposed to all types of trafficking.

The violent Covid second wave that swept through the country last spring destroyed entire families and left more than 100,000 orphans behind. Some of these children have found refuge in orphanages, but others are now completely on their own.
The child protection services are overwhelmed by the magnitude of the disaster and many of them are now off the radar. Without family, and especially without income, Covid orphans are forced to drop out of school and start working at an early age.
