Children

Bal Asha Trust

Bal Asha Trust runs a home for children found abandoned on the streets of Mumbai.  We are in urgent need of your support due to the COVID pandemic and lockdown in the city. We currently have 36 children both boys and girls from few months to 11 years living in the centre in Mahalaxmi, Mumbai.  We have 16 paramedics and caretakers who are living inside the home during the COVID lockdown to take care of children and keep them safe from the virus. We, at Bal Asha, have been facing difficulties since the COVID lockdown came into force in India.  We need funds as due to the lockdown and social distancing as a precaution against COVID our community donations have reduced.  We require funds to ensure we go through this period without any hardships for our projects.  
 We need funds to provide nutrition and medical care (including gloves, masks and hand sanitizers) to our children and caregivers.  We have children with special needs who require continuous medicines and child care support. We need to buy  regular supplies of medicines and medical aid for the children like medical tests, hospital admission charges, conveyances to hospital, optics and OPD charges.  This will now include masks, hand sanitizers and gloves for COVID protection. We need funds to buy groceries, milk, vegetables etc for children's nutritional needs. 
 The funds will help us to run give our children important support during this COVID crisis. As this is a humanitarian crisis which is affecting our vulnerable children living in communities we plan to use part of the funds to give children and families Nutritional Support.

RESCUE AND CARE OF DESTITUTE CHILDREN

This is a sample description for education. For the purpose of testing I will use the word EducationEducationEducationEducation.

Education

Children are extremely vulnerable in any emergency and COVID is a crisis around the world. The financial implications are far more devastating in many families at grassroot level as it affects many areas of their basic survival. This has already impacted the beneficiaries we are serving. We are also gearing up to support many more who will now suffer from the pandemic.Bal Asha Trust’s projects have always been structured to support the most vulnerable children. We have the experience, knowledge and capacity to scale up these programs, if we receive the funds.   
 Financial implication of COVID will hamper the future of Education of children. Food and shelter are usually the priority in families which are from a low income group. The children, if not provided finances for their school fees and educational expenses might miss out on their Education in their prime years.We support more than 40 children on a yearly basis for education. We will be supporting more children this year, so that education of these children is not halted by COVID19. 
 It costs Rs. 6,000/- to support one child for Education for one year. We plan to support children to complete their education so that they can take care of themselves and their families in future.

Children from low income families are worst affected when they have disability as the parents have hardly any money to even support food, shelter and clothing for them. This affects these children long term. The project is helping these children by providing subsidized therapies like Speech, Physio, Remedial, Occupational and psychologist in Mumbai. The children also receive counseling and support during these difficult times. We have provided more than 10,000 therapies to over 300 children 
 Identify children with developmental difficulties in high risk populations through visits to schools, hospitals, community health workers, Aganwadi, Public Health Centers, doctors, neonatologist, general practitioners and walk in parents.   Provide a team for inclusive assessments of these children and provide interventions through therapies to children with developmental delays.Provide children with developmental assessments and therapies. 
 Children with developmental delays will benefit from the project as they will receive quality medical support through trained doctors and therapist.  This will help them overcome their challenges they face physically, mentally and emotionally.  The parents of most of these children strive hard to make a daily living and having a child with disability is very difficult for them to cope up with. The project will also offer these parents hope and will to meet the challenges for their children
