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.

Help Dr. Bhagat care for 500+ elderly parents rescued from abuse and homelessness

“The abusers insert a candle or fingers in the vagina of children torture them. If the children don’t relent even then, the abusers 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 the Society for Participatory Integrated Development (SPID), while talking about many heart-rending stories of trafficked children in red-light areas. In over three decades, the team of SPID led by Lalitha, has saved over 3000 children from the red-light areas in Delhi, such as GB Road, and many from clutches of sex trafficking. While Lalitha has also helped many women escape the clutches of being forced into sex work, the SPID is focused on rescuing children and giving them a better life.Sadly, many more children need to be rescued and need a loving home. SPID needs your support to carry on the mission, to move out of the small shelters that are subject to arbitrary rental increases or landlords’ whims, to permanent locations where she can rescue more children and give them all the love they deserve. Your support will give these children the care and upbringing they need. 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).“I have limited funds and very limited space, and if I had the funds, I would be able to rescue many more children and provide them with more comfort. With folded hands, I plead with you that you help us with funds in large numbers and support us in providing us children with a decent life. Become a part of the mission,” pleads Lalitha. Lalitha plays a vital role in the survival and safety of vulnerable children in the red-light areas.

In the dark and dingy alleys of red light areas, injustice, pain and suffering run rampant. And the worst affected are the children who grow up in red-light areas and are subjected to constant abuse and violence. “The sight of a 12-year-old girl being gang-raped by a group of men near a house l haunts me to this date. I was filled with anguish and resolved to do something,” says Girish Kulkarni who has made it his life’s mission to rescue children from red light areas and give them a safe and secure childhood. In the last 3 decades Girish has saved over 1100 girls from a life of abuse in red-light areas, giving them a loving home, education and medical care. He has further supported over 20,000 children with a better life.Sadly, 250 of the children rescued from abuse and exploitation are HIV positive. The high cost of medication has left Girish struggling for funds. Your support can help him provide these children with the care and upbringing they need.

I had even seen my friend’s 15-year-old sister and 70-year-old grandmother being forced to do sex work for the price of a cup of tea”, recalls Girish. “I started by merely feeding and teaching children of sex workers initially with the intention of giving them some respite from the horrors of life of abuse in red-light areas. Gradually more and more mothers started coming to me and asked me to take their children away, even if it was just for a couple of hours,” he further adds.The work that Girish started in his youth gradually grew to become a movement, with many more joining his cause. His NGO Snehalaya to date has transformed the lives of millions. Girish’s work is crucial for the survival and safety of vulnerable children of sex workers. Snehalaya is almost entirely dependent on donations from the public and your support can strengthen his mission to save children most in need. Donate generously.The horrors of life in red light areas“The cruelty and abuse that children as young as 6 or 7 years of age face is something that I can’t explain in words. Young daughters of sex workers are made to watch their mothers being raped, are brutally assaulted and forced into sex work. No child deserves to grow like this, Girish says in anguish.Sad reality of life for children growing up in red light areas is that they are deprived of even the most basic needs like proper food, safety and education. Moreover, a majority of children rescued by Girish are diagnosed HIV positive. The task of securing medication, providing them quality education and much-needed nutrition is one that requires constant support from donors. Moreover, the increase in healthcare cost has left Girish struggling to keep his home for children going. But your support can enable him to give his children a loving environment and save many more who still remain trapped behind closed doors.Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to help Snehalaya give hundreds of children rescued from red-light areas a life away from violence and abuse.

Almost 21% of the population in India lives in poverty. One of the most important need is education. The children are the direct victims of lack of education which is the only weapon that would help them come out of the mire.Many of them lose their parents at an early age, some are left deserted and some due to poor socio-economic conditions cannot afford to go to school. One of the most important causes because of which parents don’t send their child to school is economic problems. Irrespective of how much they work, the wages are not enough for them to afford the cost of education of their kids. For them education of their child is not a primary need at the first place, even the children are forcefully engaged in some form of labour due to unavoidable circumstances. This ultimately leads to many health problems as the child is deprived of all nutritional requirements in the developmental stages which results in stunting, wasting, malnutrition, etc.The termination of the chain of poverty is very crucial to enable a child to develop holistically. 
 To end this mire, we are working in the education and healthcare sector to bridge the gap. On the basis of our survey, we came to the conclusion of many reasons why the parents refrain from sending their child to a school and chalked out a road map to ensure that we do our best to provide the basic right of education to these deprived children. We have established two non-formal education centers - Surya Vihar, Haryana and Virar, Mumbai where children are given quality education free of cost.We have also funded many health campaigns, where children suffering from many deadly diseases have seen a new ray of hope. We have been continuously engaged in providing health treatment to many children.In the first place, we are working on a grass-root level to convince the parents to send their children to our NFE Centres. After the completion of elementary education, we assist parents to enroll their child in a nearby school leading to an increase in the gross enrollment ratio. Furthermore, we monitor that there is a minimum dropout rate by convincing parents to send their children for secondary education and then for higher education. We accomplish minimum dropout rates by providing economic help- paying their fees and set up awareness camps to highlight the importance of education 
 With the help of our program, we have envisaged creating an environment where a child has all the avenues to develop socially, psychologically and financially so that they become self-reliant and self-sustaining.Education is the light of life. We, at Dream Girl Foundation, would like to create an impact as to what a “Guru” has on a“Shishyas’ ” life. In Sanskrit, “Gu” means darkness and “Ru” means destroyer, so by providing education we want to help the children destroy the darkness. We would like to play the role of Guru and help the children to acquire quality education and good health to enable them to be a better person and live a hale and hearty life.Another important aspect of our work is the empowerment of the girl child to help her conquer all the obstacles by providing education. We are determined to remove the inequality experienced by a girl and provide her with all the opportunities to enable her to excel in her life. Hope is what keeps us going and we intend to provide hope to the children in the form of education and health.

Life is precious and cannot be put a price tag on. Noone will ever be able to evaluate what the life of one person is worth but in life, we are often faced with circumstances where there is a price attached to saving someone’s life.Poverty is one of the worst evils known to India today and many are falling into its grip day by day to such an extent that even two square meals are too much to ask for. For people living under such circumstances, a life-threatening disease like cancer, brain tumor or a hole in the heart can mean the end of an era. For people who can barely afford food, filling hospital bills is unfathomable.Even as we are as a country progressing towards being a developed country, according to recent statistics two million children die in India every year due to lack of funds while every day almost three thousand are encountered with the same. 
 At Dream Girl Foundation we try to bring relief to such families by providing financial assistance and taking responsibility of the money involved in the treatment of children suffering from such diseases. Our project called “Project Zindagi” aims to provide life to many. We consider ourselves lucky that we are given an opportunity to offer a new life to someone and transform it for the best but we cannot do this alone. We need equal support from you.For those of you who are well off and have not been kicked hard by the fatal leg of poverty, we request you to come forward and assist us in this endeavour of ours so that no lives are lost due to a lack of financial resources. We organise crowdfunding campaigns to help raise funds for the children so come ahead and be a part. Remember, the shortest corpses are always the heaviest. 
 Over the years, our foundation, with the help of hundreds of kind donors, has been able to save many children's precious lives. From toddlers to teenagers, suffering from life-threatening diseases like Cancer, Hole in heart, Tumor, etc., have been cured and provided with a healthy future. They say, "Money can't buy happiness," but in our experience, Money donated to the needy can get them a happy life. All it takes is little empathy and kindness to bring light to someone's life.
