Bembala Foundation runs a support center for women and child survivors of violence and abuse. As a team of trained volunteers and experienced professionals, we begin each case by providing emotional support and a willing listening ear. Additionally, we leverage an extensive partner network of police, lawyers, shelter home providers, counsellors, vocational and skill trainers, and access to excellent medical facilities at Vydehi Hospital, to further help survivors figure out next steps. We provide help from our physical space at the Ob-Gyn OPD of Vydehi Hospital, from Monday to Friday, 11 am to 3pm, as well as over a pan-India Helpline. Our services are free and confidential. Assistance over our Helpline (99806 60548/ 1-8001039548) is available from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Saturday.

Bembala has helped over 300 women and children (who have faced abuse in different forms) in the last 3 years. While some have just needed to vent, others have been helped with us finding them safe shelter. Many have been assisted with legal advice from our lawyer network, while others have needed our presence at the police station to support them. We have even mediated reconciliations.

Anyone in Bangalore requiring support when in a situation of violence/ abuse, can reach out by calling us on our helpline or by walking into our physical center at Vydehi Hospital
