“What will happen to them after me? I am 80+. I spend sleepless nights,” worries ex-Air Force officer, Group Captain AC Barua while talking about the future of the 28 destitute women under his care. “They have nobody in this world, sometimes they don’t remember their own names. They are absolutely alone,” he informs us as he goes from one room to the other meeting all the women who live at Seneh, the only home where they are loved and taken care of. After fighting for his country all his life, this octogenarian is now fighting to rescue homeless and abandoned women from dying on the streets. But he cannot do it alone. “Everyday I keep on getting calls from here and there. ‘Oh! there’s a woman lying here. Can you help?’ But I don’t dare to go and help because I don’t have the money. I don’t have the resources, our resources are very limited,” explains Gr. Capt. Barua who is lovingly called ‘Sir’ and ‘Deuta’ (father in Assamese) by the residents of Seneh. With your help, 80-year-old Group Captain Barua can fulfill his mission of rescuing abandoned and homeless women from dying on the streets, alone. Donate nowDonate easily through UPI, all debit/credit cards and net banking. All donations to this fundraising campaign are tax exempted under 80G of the Income Tax Act (India), &amp; 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (USA).Seneh- a home filled with love, care and hopeThe residents of Seneh often don’t remember who they are, where they have come from. Many times these are women with mental health conditions and considered being a witch due to superstitious beliefs and beaten up as a result. They are victims of domestic abuse or widow mothers who are considered to be a burden on the family. Group Captain Barua has not only rescued them from critical conditions, he has provided them with urgent medical care, food and above all, a free safe shelter where they can live with love and care. Among these residents is Sarala Kalita who fled to save herself from the tortures of her alcoholic husband only to face neglect and trauma from her brothers- and sisters-in-law. “Both my brothers and their wives urged my father to leave me somewhere as they didn’t want to take care of me anymore. One day my brother’s wife didn’t even let me have food at home. She just wanted me to leave and go away. So that’s why, my father got in touch with Seneh through someone, and handed me over to Sir to take care of me,” says Sarita who has found joy in living at Seneh. “Coming to Seneh, it felt like I got a new life altogether. Sir has given me a harmonium. I love singing. It makes me forget everything and takes me to someplace else entirely,” she adds. More women like Sarala can find their way to a loving home like Seneh. All they need is a little bit of your kindness. “It is difficult to make both ends meet”To sustain their daily expenditure, Capt Barua needs approx ₹3 lakh a month and arranging the funds is a mammoth challenge for the NGO. “Our expenses are growing day by day. Residents are growing older, their sicknesses are increasing. At times we have to give them special food. They require more care so we have to get more employees. About half of them require leading around, 1-2 has to be fed also. It will be very difficult to sustain it unless we get help,” he added. One act of your kindness can save these abandoned women, with no one in this world, from struggling on the streets to survive. At 80+ Gr. Capt. Barua cannot sustain Seneh on his own. “With folded hands, I appeal to all. Please come and please help us. Let us help these people, these old people who have nobody in this world. They are dying. They will die on the streets,” he urged. Donate to this fundraiser by Give.do to support retired Air Force officer, Group Captain Barua in his mission to rescue abandoned and homeless women from dying on the streets.

“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.

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.

<ul><li>Education is the building stone of development and growth, it provides one with the tools to hone their skills and presents people with the ability to break through social barriers and constructs to start a legacy of their own. The United Nations today recognizes Education as a basic human right for the same reason because it gives people a chance at a better life.</li><li>Most children in the villages near Kalagachhia hardly make it to high school and only a handful make it to college. This makes the young population vulnerable. Lack of interest in education and poverty act as a major tool for young children to look for work early in life. Leaving behind education and killing their dreams they take the train to South India to work in Clothes or footwear companies or buses to Kolkata to work in Umbrella companies. If these two options do not work, they are left to work in fisheries making rich richer and poor even poorer.</li><li> Due to poverty, child marriage and child labour is very prominent in this village. A world-class school like Navadha could be a beacon of hope and light for many "kyunki padhega India tabhi to badhega India".</li><li>The aim of Navadha School is very simple. It has to come up in villages with no connectivity, no proper roads,no proper transportation, and basic amenities like clean drinking water and health are still distant dreams of many.</li><li>Navadha school would be a focal point of development for not only kalagachhia but also in and around 10 villages around kalagachia. Navadha school is a child-friendly inclusive school that will provide free education for orphans, differently-abled children, girl children with single parents,s and families lying Below Poverty Line.</li></ul> 
 <ul><li>1. Navadha school aims to be a child-friendly school with quality education and inclusive characteristics.</li><li>2. Navadha school will provide education at affordable prices. It also provides free education for orphans, differently-abled children, girl children with single parents, and families lying under BPL.</li><li>3. We will provide free school dresses, shoes and school bags with stationeries and </li><li>wheelchair facilities for differently-abled children.</li><li>3. This child-friendly school involves a Ramp for wheelchairs, Western Toilet, colorful drawing painted walls, child-friendly corner, and multiple tricky games to attract children's attention. </li><li>4. Navadha school provides free nutritious meals for all the children.</li><li>5. Navadha school is based on Inclusiveness which involves Right to Life, Right to Development, Right to Protection, and Right to Participation.</li><li>6. Navadha school promotes Digital as well as Community Learning. After school, the school premises will be used for community learning center purposes. </li><li>7. School boundary walls will be made up of Eco bricks which would teach the students about 4 R’s that are reuse, reduce, recycle and recover.</li><li>8. Under the Digi-Pal program, Navadha School will provide the Virtual International knowledge Exchange Program where children and their mentors from different countries will interact with our children.</li></ul> 
 We want to build this school as a world-class inclusive school for which every child should look up to and deserves the best.We want to build this school to 12th standard registered under CBSE Board which ensures that every child from nearby villages as well should at least complete his education without any obstacles.The School in the last 6 months has a strength of 60 children. many more are yet to get admitted due to lack of space and equipment in the schoolWe are looking to enroll 300 children in the following 2 years provided enough funds we have to sustain the project To make the school more impactful we are trying a couple of things -<ul><li>1. Use BioGas for cooking.</li><li>2. Use solar panels for electricity in the long run. </li><li>3. Encourage parents and students to plant vegetables to grow their own vegetables to help school become sustainable in a small way.</li><li>4. Our prime focus is to build classrooms for 1 to 5th in the adjacent land. </li><li>5. We started the school with 6 teachers, one administrator, 2 cooking staff, 3 supporting staff, and one security.</li></ul>
