For a mother who has spent her entire life loving and raising her child, being beaten and mercilessly thrown out onto the streets by her own son is too heartbreaking to overcome. But this is a common story among the elderly residents of the Guru Vishram Vridh Ashram. “I’ve seen mothers in old and torn clothes, their bodies smelling and their hands and feet rotting and covered in maggots,” shares Dr. G.P. Bhagat, founder of the ashram. These abandoned elderly men and women lay starving on the streets hoping for someone to rescue them from their suffering. But most people walk past them without a second glance. “Like this”, Dr. Bhagat explains, “many elders die on the roads.”Since 2003, SHEOWS (Saint Hardyal Educational and Orphans Welfare Society) has rescued over 10,000 elderly people from the streets and given them a home with care and support. The elderly staying at the ashram have all been abandoned by their families and have nowhere else to live. Your support can give them comfort after their abandonment.

The Guru Vishram Vridh Ashram has a dedicated rescue team that saves the elderly from the streets and gives them immediate medical care upon their arrival at the home. To tend to the multiple health complications of the seniors, the home has a medical facility with doctors and nurses, a physiotherapy unit, a pathology lab, a digital X-ray monitoring machine and a pharmacy to provide 24-hour care to older adults anytime they require assistance, even during emergencies. Dr. Bhagat prioritizes the health of the seniors and ensures that they receive three balanced meals a day based on their precise health requirements. Need for the fundraiserThe humanitarian mission of SHEOWS is making an impact in the area, as more and more people are being rescued and brought to Guru Vishram Vridh Ashram. To meet the financial costs of running the home, SHEOWS needs support to continue providing the residents with all the facilities that they need. This includes constant care and round-the-clock medical attention, nutritious food and maintaining a hygienic environment to keep the seniors in comfort and good health. Dr. Bhagat explains that as the number of residents is increasing, SHEOWS needs support for food and medicines. “I request you to help these elderly parents lead a peaceful life.”Donate now to help Dr. Bhagat continue caring for the 500 destitute elderly and giving them shelter, food, medical care and the will to carry on living despite their tragic abandonment by their families. Your support will enable SHEOWS to keep serving abandoned senior citizens and help them recover from the trauma of abandonment and life on the streets. “I have been serving these elderly as if they were my own parents”, shares Dr. Bhagat. “I want only one thing - their tears should vanish and they should have a smile on their faces.” To help Dr. Bhagat achieve this dream, your support is critical. Donate now to help SHEOWS care for more abandoned elderly. Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest online donation platform, to support SHEOWS in their mission to rescue the abandoned elderly from the streets and give them shelter, food, medical care, recreational activities and emotional support.

“They insert a candle in the vagina, fingers are inserted (in the vagina) and tortured, and if children don’t relent even then, they put chilli powder so that children will say “yes” because of the burning of the skin… There are teeth marks on their bodies, and their vaginal parts are burnt. When children stay in these conditions, it is painful even to hear,” says Lalitha SA of Society for Participatory Integrated Development (SPID), in course of talking about many heart-rending stories of trafficked children in red-light areas.In over three decades, the SPID led by Lalitha, has saved over 3000 children from the red-light areas, many from clutches of sex trafficking.Sadly, many more children need to be rescued and in need of a loving home.

Antyodoy Anath Ashram runs an Orphanage for abandoned and destitute children since 1995 at Paunsi, a remote village in Purba Medinipur district of West Bengal state in India. The journey of Antyodoy Anath Ashram is truly a fascinating one. The journey that started about 25 years back in 1995, through the emotional act of a local inhabitant, Sri Balaram Karan, by giving shelter to a hapless child of a nearby locality, has culminated to today’s Antyodoy Anath Ashram, an orphanage per excellence, where a good number of destitute children are being brought up under the watchful eyes of the Ashram management. It is a fascinating story of a great journey, initiated by one single person, Sri Balaram Karan, an inhabitant of the village, who impulsively brought home an unfortunate orphan in a chilly evening, whom he found desperately searching for food from a garbage bin, at an adjacent locality.The orphanage, which was set up sometime in 1995 and it was registered in the year 2004 under the West Bengal Societies Registration Act. 1961.The journey, which had started by saving one child, has culminated to today’s Antyodoy Anath Ashram, giving shelter to about 170 hapless children. Sri Karan did not spare any efforts during the last two decades to provide them a place, they can call home.Besides formal education, children are also learning music, dance, drawing and painting here. Some of them are academically brilliant too, pursuing higher studies now.The journey was never an easy one but Sri Karan tenaciously latched onto it overcoming so many odds with his indomitable spirit, courage and commitment. He had to sell whatever little he possessed and even begged at times to feed the children.Situation however, improved a little in 2004, when the news of his relentless struggle came out in a leading newspaper. Many came forward spontaneously, extending support to his crusade. AAA works with both deserted, helpless children and women in and around the district of Purba Medinipur, West Bengal through its different projects. Antyodoy focuses on destitute children care &amp; protection, adolescent girl, women, education and health. Antyodoy strives to nurture, protect and care the orphan children who have no homes, or single parents disowned by the relatives. AAA purpose is to promote the holistic development of the child through loving care in a homely atmosphere with adequate nutrition and healthy social interaction and to educate all children till they are old and mature enough to venture out independently. AAA activities are framed on the belief that an organization like ours should do more than just provide temporary material relief to the suffering. Antyodoy Anath Ashram support is designed to give people the means to provide for their own welfare for the rest of their lives. This makes them not to remain dependent on the hands-outs of a charity. ‘Instead of giving fish to the starving, teach them how to catch fish’.Apart from the orphanage, the Antyodoy Anath Ashram has also initiated many philanthropic activities in the area.

Due to rise in prices of every goods and also due to increase in the number of orphan children, the expenses are rising for almost on every item every month during Covid-19 Pandemic and subsequent lock down. With the result shopkeepers /vendors are insisting for regular payment every month or else at times they are stopping our supply of food stuff etc. Shopkeepers /suppliers are insisting for regular payment every month, which we are unable to make. 
 Keeping in view the above constrain, we have been advised by some kind donors to evolve a scheme of sponsorship of the children. Under this scheme if the donor who wishes to sponsor one or two children will make the contribution of equivalent amount monthly on regular basis. In this process we in the orphanage would come to know about the fixed amount that we would receive from the donors every month. We would then be able to work out our expenses every month accordingly. After careful consideration we have decided to fix Rs 1000/- (Rs. One thousand only) per month in respect of each orphan child to meet his food and other expenses toward school and other activities.We will therefore request you is kindly sponsor as many children as possible and make an equivalent payment every months @Rs.1000/-per child per month toward the above scheme. In this way we will come to know the total amount that we will receive every month and will work out our expenses and tide over our difficulties accordingly.
