Welcome to Chilla Web Home
Chilla is home for the children of sex workers – an initiative to give these children a fair chance to live and be connected with their mothers.
Chilla is not an orphanage. The children at Chilla are not orphans. They have mothers who are concerned about their well being. Their mothers are sex workers who are poor and do not have a home or a shelter. They are in the streets earning their livelihood. So the children of these mothers are forced to be on the streets with them.
Orphanages are not ready to take in children of sex workers. A few orphanages that are broad minded to accept these children put forward a clause - Their mothers should not visit the children nor claim them again. The mother has to break all ties with her children or rather renounce her children. The sex worker along with so many other things in life is deprived of Motherhood.
Chilla is a place where children and their mothers are comfortable. It does not matter what the mother’s profession is.
We have initiated some housing programmes with the help of Habitat for Humanity India, Habitat Technology Group (Non Governmental Organizations) and housing programmes for the poor by Government of Kerala.

In fact many of the sex workers are on the street working to fend for their children and other family members.

In the past there have been many attempts to rehabilitate the children of sex workers
