Hunger and malnutrition have become a reality for thousands of elderly parents abandoned by their own children, in villages and slums across India. Seeing the rampant distress among the elderly, a team of selfless heroes from our NGO partner Mitti Cafe, though disabled themselves, have taken up the responsibility of providing cooked meals and dry rations to over 5,000 elderly in urgent need of support. Setting aside their own struggles, Mitti Cafe’s team, led by Ayesha Alam has been relentlessly fighting to free elderly from hunger and malnutrition through its Karuna Meals initiative. The need for nutrition support is growing with each passing day and Mitti Cafe is struggling to fulfill this enormous need. With your support, the NGO and its team of persons with disability can put food on the plates of hundreds of more elderly parents.

We have seen people picking food from the garbage out of extreme hunger.”, recalls Ayesha of Mitti Cafe, while talking about the extent of hunger faced by senior citizens. According to Ayesha, there are thousands of elderly who have been either chucked out of their homes or have been left behind in villages by their children. “Our elderly don't deserve this life and it is our responsibility to come to their aid. If we come together we can ease the suffering of hundreds of people battling hunger and starvation. Donate now Our heroes’ war against hungerPersons with disability who were once discriminated against by society are today at the forefront of the fight to save abandoned elderly and children from hunger. The Karuna Meals team, comprising only of persons with disability has been able to cook and serve over 10 lakh meals. They have also distributed over 1 lakh packets of dry rations. ”They overlook their own struggles and suffering just to reach the elderly and provide them with the food they need,” says Ayesh. But their job is not yet done. “There are still many villages which have many malnourished and hungry seniors and we have not been able to reach them. But with your support, we can collectively end starvation,” she says.

“A blind child is seen as a curse or as a burden to the family. These children are left on the street. I have picked up children from roadsides myself. I also lost my eyesight as a child but today I am a senior officer in a public sector company. What would I have done, had I not been taken care of?” asks Veena Mehta Verma who was once a beneficiary of National Association for the Blind, Delhi (NAB) and now works with the NGO to protect and care for blind children like herself.Today, hundreds of blind children supported by NAB, Delhi have found something that they never had before–hope for a better tomorrow. Without Veena and NAB, many of these children would be at the risk of going back to the streets or spend a life of neglect and even abuse. Your support to the NGO is crucial. This Christmas, you can help her children get warm clothes and other essentials. Donate generouslyDonate 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).A life of uncertainty &amp; sufferingEven if a blind child is not abandoned they are often trapped in their homes deprived of education or any way of making a living. According to the nonprofit leader, “For a blind kid, employment is impossible without education. The (blind) kids need to learn Braille or they need ‘talking computer’ aids. Many of these kids are deprived of such facilities”.  Illuminating young lives ﻿“At NAB Delhi there are around 200-250 blind kids. There are around 180 kids in the hostel of NAB. We teach Braille, we teach arithmetic Taylor frames. To work towards a brighter future for the blind, we need your support. Please come forward and donate towards our mission”, says Veena. Students for whom NAB Delhi has cared for are today placed in some of the most prestigious organisations across the world. While some have gone on to make a name for themselves in the corporate world, others have taken up art and music as a profession too. Many blind children are bright, academically gifted, and waiting to shine, all they need is an opportunity. And your donation can give them just that.Donate to this fundraiser on Give.do, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to help the blind children get shelter, education, care and a shot at a future full of opportunities.

“The major problem in society today is the stigma against mentally ill or mentally disabled people. Families feed and care for men who are mentally ill and keep them at home. But no one wants to help women with mental illnesses,” says N Vanitha Rengaraj, chairperson of Sharanalayam.Sharanalaym’s ‘Jothi’ is a sanctuary for over 100 women facing mental challenges. Women with mental illness facing various challenges on the streets are brought to Sharanalayam with the help of the authorities and cared for. <img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/88597e5c-903c-4c84-8cf5-34ba9d96defd.webp" />Donate easily through UPI, all debit/credit cards and net banking.

We can ensure these women receive the care and support they deserve.Over the years, Vanitha has tried her best to run Sharanalayam from her own resources and that of her well-wishers, but the last few years have been harsh. “I normally don’t extend my hand for people to donate. Many have come on their own. But life has become a bit difficult now. I need your support to take care of the women here and also bring more women here in need of help,” says Vanitha.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/e5b9bb35-4261-4187-a4cc-d89ac34d66cc.webp" /> How Sharanalayam came into beingThe NGO started its operations in 2001 from rented premises in Pollachi in the district of Coimbatore. It started with taking care of children in difficult conditions. It slowly started taking care of mentally challenged women. Sharanalayam has come a long way since that time, with hundreds of children and women being taken care of by the NGO in the last two decades. Many women were rehabilitated by the NGO, thanks to its facilities.Sharanalayam needs urgent support to take care of over 100 women. The organisation also aspires to take care of many more mentally ill women in the coming months and years. Vanitha cannot do it without your support. <img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/37ef7f6a-11d8-4a6c-b176-41dd5b51c21f.webp" />Donate to this fundraiser on Give.do, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to help abandoned mentally ill women get care and shelter.

Bhartiya Netraheen Kalyan Parishad is a registered NGO.  for all round development of visually impaired boys & girls.

Differently Abled

Bhartiya Netraheen Kalyan Parishad is a registered NGO. for the all-around development of visually impaired boys &amp; girls. This NGO has helped visually impaired people for a long time. Bhartiya Netraheen Kalyan Parishad is a registered NGO. It came into existence on 28 February 1996 with its registration under Societies Registration Act. Right from its inception, it has been working perenially and unhindered for the holistic and all-round development of persons with special needs, especially the visually impaired. We have set up a goal of making every person with special needs self-reliant and instilling in him/her a feeling of self-dignity, pride, and aplomb so that all of them can be capable of associating themselves with the national mainstream and they can contribute to the development of the nation. Education is the pivot around which the development of a country takes place. In other words, we can say that it is education alone based on which the human development index of a country depends. So, in this direction, we are making significant efforts. Our Parishad is undertaking a residential bridge course for visually impaired children under the age group 6-14 years. It is being done in collaboration with Bihar Shiksha Pariyojana under SSA. These centers for residential bridge courses are located in Bhagalpur, Shekhpura, Lakhisarai, and Begusarai districts of Bihar. These children are getting education in life skills, elementary academics, mobility instruction, and daily life experiences. Our main motto is to include these children in social life after this basic instruction so that they can have the feeling of being an integral part of society. In the hostel, BNKPRI is also running a library for the visually impaired. This library has brail books on various subjects and audio CDs. Every year BNKPRI organizes a plethora of events like marriages of visually challenged couples, Hellen Keller Day, White Cane Day, World Disability Day, Kavi Sammelan, Dance Program of the visually challenged, etc.

Thank you for your efforts. Our selfless donors have supported us immensely in our goal of providing quality education and care for countless girls with visual disabilities. Take the case of Reshmi (name changed). Unfortunately, she went blind at age thirteen, and her family was ill-equipped to deal with her struggle. She was forced to drop out of school and had no prospects of living independently and with dignity. But when she contacted BNKPRI for help, her situation permanently changed. We helped her complete her higher education, and she is happily working as a PGT teacher with a post-graduation degree from Delhi University. We take pride in our efforts to reform the lives of girls with visual disabilities who are otherwise seen as burdens and abandoned by their own families. Your support is crucial to fulfilling our quest. Please help us make a better world. Donate now.
