“My 8-year-old son was diagnosed with cancer and it left the entire family devastated. I was told the cost of treatment would run into lakhs. I was barely managing to make ends meet and there was nothing I could do to save Swaroop. But the Nargis Dutt Foundation stepped in and took care of all the expenses. I can’t even imagine the consequences had they not been there for my son,,” says teary-eyed Devendra.The helplessness that Devendra felt is not uncommon among low-income families of cancer patients.

When I saw my mother struggling for life it left a lifelong impact on me. Her condition had deteriorated to such an extent she was almost unrecognisable. I know how it feels like to lose a loved one to cancer and I am not alone in my grief. There are thousands of people struggling to save their family members,” says Priya, daughter of noted actress Nargis Dutt, who lost her life to cancer, and in whose name the NGO has been founded. Priya has made it her life’s mission to save as many cancer patients as she can, but she can not do it alone. Nargis Dutt Foundation needs your support. Your donation can not only save cancer patients but can give life to entire families.Need for the fundraiserCancer is often seen as a death sentence. But doctors say that if detected early and if a patient receives essential treatment, the illness can be defeated and the person can return to their lives. “Treatment of cancer often depends on multiple factors including the type of cancer and the stage in which it is detected. Some patients require surgery while some can be cured with just chemotherapy or immunotherapy. “Whatever may be the need, our nonprofit supports patients till the time they are cancer free. We not only take care of the cost of treatment but even assist patients with nutrition which is vital in the fight against cancer. Moreover, we ensure that family members who are already facing immense hardships get proper accommodation and food during treatment so they don’t suffer any further,” says the NGO leader. With your support, Nargis Dutt Foundation can help patients win the fight against cancer and save their families from grief of losing a loved one.Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest and most trusted fundraising platform, to support Nargis Dutt Foundation in their mission to give life-saving chemotherapy and care to cancer patients who can not afford treatment.

“The Hummingbird School is my only hope to succeed in life. I feel I am trying to swim out of this place (Majuli) and my school stands as a beacon on the other side of the river. If my school closes down, I feel I will drown in this river. Not just me but every child in villages around here and our families depend on this school”, says Roopjyoti, a bright, young student of Ayang Trust’s The Hummingbird School.Majuli Island, where The Hummingbird School is situated is shrinking rapidly, leaving a majority of its residents struggling to survive. For the children of this impoverished tribal community, education remains the only way out of suffering.Your support to Ayang Trust’s Hummingbird School can ensure that its students can have a future different from their parents who are struggling to get even two meals a day. Donate now.Donate easily through UPI, all debit/credit cards and net banking. Charitable donations to this fundraising campaign are tax exempted under 80G of the Income Tax Act (India).From IIT Kharagpur to Majuli“When I first visited the remote villages of Majuli I was shocked. The extent of the struggles here was beyond my imagination. These villages had no connectivity to the outside world, no healthcare, no education, there was absolutely nothing”, says Bipin Dhane founder of the school. Bipin, who grew up in the small town of Satara in Maharashtra, faced countless financial hardships. Despite his struggles, Bipin secured admission to the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, and then went on to take up a job in Singapore. Owing to his childhood experiences Bipin was always inclined towards helping the less fortunate, and he believed in the transformative power of education. It was in 2016 that Bipin left his lucrative career abroad and moved to Majuli, to provide the children from this inaccessible river island education they were deprived of.“Whatever little money I had saved, I gave it to my parents. I had no money to start the school. It was then that villagers came together to build bamboo huts. Each family donated bamboo, wood, and whatever little they could. It was the parents of our students who erected huts for the school to start”, shares Bipin while talking about the inception of The Hummingbird School in 2017.Help Bipin save underprivileged children of Majuli Island from generational poverty and give them a chance to succeed. Donate now.Donate to save future generations“People of the island value education greatly because they know that their children have no future without it. Parents have vested their faith in The Humming Bird School because they don't want their children to suffer the way they have been”, says Bipin. Bipin says, “Today we have over 280 students in our school and about 90 children live in our hostel. Many of these children are orphaned and have no means of survival. I urge each one of you to come forward and donate to us so we can help hundreds of children escape from the cycle of poverty.”Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to help children of Majuli Island get an education and break the cycle of poverty.

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared a novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a pandemic on 11 March 2020. The disease’s sudden onset was in Wuhan, the capital city of Hubei Province in China in December 2019. It was categorized as a global emergency on 30 January 2020. Subsequently, due to its speed and scale of global transmission it became a pandemic. The virus is a global public health problem and has infected population in over 196 countries of the world.In India as of 25th May 2020, there are around 1,45,380 positive cases in the country spread across the length and breadth of the country. To limit the spread of the virus government declared national lock down on 23rd March 2020 and it continues.  This lock down was needed to not only flatten the curve but also give time to the government to better prepare for the huge number of cases.This also resulted in the huge number of migrant laborers as well as local population going without food and other support during the lock down. Government is doing everything in its capacity to provide food packets and rations but it is inadequate. With over 80% of India’s workforce employed in the informal sector and one-third working as casual labour, Covid-19's spread and subsequent lockdowns, have created economic havoc in the lives of millions. This economic uncertainty means, millions going to bed hungry every day. It is the responsibility of NGOs/ CBOs/ Corporates / Foundations and individuals to come forward to the aid of these suffering millions. We all must do whatever is in our means to ease the pain and ensure no one sleeps hungry. It is important to take special care of the children, the most vulnerable of the lot. 
 Since major work of ALIG Education and Welfare Society has been with the schools spread across two major states of the country i.e. Uttar Pradesh Jharkhand and West Bengal we have identified families with the help of the head masters of the school. These families have their children in the school. It is important to take care of the children and their families at this difficult hour. We have identified families from each school who needs support, these families in turn have been validated by both the headmasters as well as ALIG teacher present in the school. In the month of May 2020, we reached out to 597 families in the mentioned districts and provided them with one month of ration. There is a total of 3000 families spread across 45 Schools in Uttar Pradesh Jharkhand and West Bengal who needs immediate assistance. They are daily laborers and vendors. The women work in household in nearby by communities but due to the lock down and social distancing the current income of the families is zero.So ALIG has planed to distribute basic ration kits for one month (and expand it to two months later). The support will help us to reach out and feed more during the pandemic. We have identified from our system database 3000 families who are in immediate need for food packets to avoid hunger. The food packets would also have Health and Hygiene kits to maintain healthy environment in the present situation.   
 Considering 6 members in a family we intend to help 18,000 people to fight against hunger. The health and hygiene kits will also help in positive behavioral change among the beneficiary and the family members.
