“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. There are many who helplessly see their dear ones, including children, lose their life in the most painful manner. Nargis Dutt Foundation has ensured that thousands of families don’t see this fate. It’s been a ray of hope for thousands of cancer patients since its inception over 40 years back. You can help save many more patients with cancer.

Help Nargis Dutt Foundation provide treatment to poor cancer patients and save them from a slow and painful death.Giving hope to cancer patients“I was just 13 when my mother was diagnosed with cancer. 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.

Time stood still for 12-year-old Shrikant when he got the news that his father, a debt-ridden farmer from Beed, had taken his own life. Shrikant’s village was one of the worst hit areas during devastating drought in 2015 and his mother, a daily wage labourer, was finding it hard to feed the family of three. The family was penniless and could not feed itself, and debtors were knocking on the doors. Had it not been for Ashok Deshmane and Snehwan, Shrikant would have slipped into the bottomless pit of child labour.Deshmane needs your help to rescue the children of drought-hit farmers taking their own lives. Donate now.Deshmane, who has faced the perils of farmer distress firsthand, has made it his life’s mission to come to the aid of children affected by farmer suicides. He left a successful career in IT and founded Snehwan to provide food, shelter, and education to orphans of farmer suicides. There has been a steep rise in farmer suicides following Covid-19 and fresh droughts in Maharashtra. The number of kids that are in dire need of support is growing almost every day.Snehwan is building its second shelter home to take in 200 more children and needs your urgent help to complete it. Help orphans of farmer suicides find their feet and fresh hope in life. <img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/8c3923fc-52f9-4732-9088-0174a4553718.jpg" />Ashok’s missionAshok, son of a farmer himself, braved his way through abject poverty to educate himself and build a career in IT. During a visit to his village in 2015, he was overwhelmed seeing the orphans of farmer suicides starving, and decided to take 18 children into his care.“I just could not remain a mute spectator while children starved in drought-struck villages. I had to do something” says Ashok, and Snehwan was conceived in 2015. Swami Vivekanand Dnyanalay, a ray of hopeAshok says that his responsibility is not merely to provide food and shelter to children but to provide them with holistic development. He aspires to raise them as socially aware, skilled, and responsible citizens of the country who can then carry his work forward.The shelter home which started with 18 kids is now a ray of hope for more than 50 children who call it home. Situated in a village near Pune, the Swami Vivekanand Dnyanalay not only provides food, shelter, and quality education to these kids but gives them a family. Ashok and Archana’s plea“Drought and climate change is worsening and we are in urgent need of funds to extend our efforts and expand the shelter home to bring in 200 more children under our protective wings. We cannot let these kids have a fate similar to their parents”, pray Ashok and Archana. Only you can help Ashok and Archana save the future of these children. Donate generously.

"I don't have a future", said a 13 year old Lakish, studying in 8th std of a Government Aided school in the heart of Bangalore. My parents are uneducated and lack the means, just like the parents of my classmates. "Who will admit me into a college post 10th std, advice me on what I should study and pay my fees? That is why I am telling you - we don't have a future! So what is the point of studying hard and improving, when I don't have a future?" These words became the genesis of Anahata UNITED EFFORTS Foundation (UE) way back in May 2018. At UE, we believe students irrespective of their socio-economic backgrounds have potential and it is our responsibility to help them tap it.We are currently working in 8 Government High Schools in Bangalore implementing UE's D-R-S Model of Career Exposure and Guidance and working to shape the future of 3000 students from grades 8, 9 and 10. Become a part of our MISSION and together let us ensure - 2 crore high school students from economically weaker sections of the society can <ol><li>Get access to career exposure n guidance</li><li>Develop mindset of becoming professionals</li><li>Pursue educational/career pathways of choice and potential</li></ol>

Deva and Sonia are part of the 2 crore children who are in their high school years in Government Schools. The failure rate in exams and dropout rates are high. They secure degrees from hard-earned money and still remain jobless, hence earning the tag of “educated but lack employable skills”.However, these adolescents are street smart with fire in the belly to achieve and pull their families out of poverty. There are budding animation artists, ethical hackers, sports coaches, nurses, doctors, handyman, coders, their hunger for a better life can surely spring India’s growth. They live on an edge and can tip over into an anti-social life too.  
 Our programmatic intervention spans 3 years through classes 8, 9 and 10 and comprises of 3 stages – Discover, Reinforce and Support:Discover – Through grades 8 and 9, we expose the children to different industries/opportunities (BFSI, Armed forces, Sports industry, Education Sector, Hospitality, Manufacturing, Healthcare and so on) after preparing them to the concept of careers and future planning.Reinforce – By actually visiting and interacting with an industry/company of choice(from the industries they were introduced to in the Discover stage), children get a real-life feel and are encouraged to check their interest and appetite to build a career in that field.Support - Through Grades 9 and 10, children are mentored fortnightly by mentors (corporate volunteers) who build their thinking and decision-making skills.By the end of the 9th grade,the mentors help the children arrive at their Career plan A and B. From grade 10th, it is all about working towards the goal. The children are subsequently supported with admissions and financial aid, positioning them on a trajectory leading to a career/profession of choice. 
 The overall impact that we are working towards is for 10th graders of Government schools to make optimal career decisions for their future on the basis of their interest, abilities and opportunities. Increase the number of students who pursue a fruitful/optimal future option and not succumb to poverty again.As we work towards the above mentioned impact, we are observing the below responses/ changes/ impact:8th and 9th graders: Increase in awareness of possibilities post X grade. Increasing clarity of their capability and interests.10th graders: Working towards a larger goal which holds a better future rather than focusing on just completing SSLC (X board exams). They are understanding that SSLC exam is a milestone that will lead them towards their dreams.Teachers: Enthused by the energy that the students come back with post their industry visits and change in the class room conversation topic towards career and future.Management of Schools and Education department: Increase in support and providing one dedicated period per week for career exposureParents: Encouraged and impressed with the exposure (classroom and visits) being provided to their children to shape their future.

<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/3938f44e-a3a2-484e-9be5-e6f4cb115a3f.png" width="435" />Did you know that 50% of our country's talent pool remains untapped? Yes, we are talking about students coming from economically weaker sections of the society. They are smart and hardworking and hopeful that education will brighten their future. However due to lack of exposure and guidance they are unable to pursue careers in sync with their interest and abilities. Eventually they make peace with poverty. How can we build an Inclusive India if we continue to ignore these beautiful minds? 
 <img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/0cda39d8-5187-4ade-8807-57440e97ce03.png" width="434" />"How can we empower students to become agents of their own destiny", in order to answer this question emphatically, United Efforts developed a 3 year program of Industry Exposure and Career Guidance. Whose main tenets are:<ol><li>Connect students and industries at a young and impressionable age of 13,14,15, 16 (Grades 8th, 9th and 10th) before the big question of "What after 10th std." looms at them</li><li>Facilitate industry visits and educational fairs that can give a glimpse of where they could take their future to</li><li>Support them to build career plans in sync with their interest and abilities</li><li>Support with admissions and scholarship information</li></ol>Empower an Inclusive India by Empowering our Students.

﻿More than 50% of India’s future workforce can be found in government schools.However , these students are not aware of how education can help them build a better future. Due to a lack of guidance many of these students believe that the best career option is one that is suggested by a peer or parent.This leads them to a professional future which reduces their inclusivity to white collar jobs and the ability to use their education to create a better future.To answer this problem, we developed the DRS model which is now present at 7 government schools.
