Most of Pramod’s friends have left their small village in Mandla, Madhya Pradesh and moved to cities to work as daily-wage labourers, a life common for young men here. Pramod too got an opportunity to travel to cities but not as a labourer– As the captain of the Under-17 team of one of India’s most celebrated football clubs–Mohun Bagan.If Priya and Digvijay, founders of Mrida Education and Welfare Society are to be believed, the next generation of football stars that India needs might as well come from villages and tribal communities. The NGO has been able to develop excellent footballing talent from tribal communities and has made a name for itself on the National stage. The NGO founders say, "If we are to play in a football world cup we need to invest in players coming from the grassroots”. <img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/9b653299-558c-4490-8f65-30af22bf5a56.webp" />Your support can make this dream a reality.

Second is that they are malnourished, they have stunted growth and they are underweight” Informs Digvijay. But despite the financial background of these children, they are today proving their mettle against the best in the country, thanks to the NGO.“Despite this, our girls are state champions. We've played the nationals. In terms of the boys, one of our players recently played for Mohun Bagan under-17. He was the captain of the team,” he further adds. Journey of a dream to realityDigvijay and Priya dream of taking football to small villages and ultimately transforming lives through sport. Your donation can make this dream a possibility<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/1dce4f25-fd63-401a-a691-e57d835db0ea.webp" />“We have been working here for so many years but with very few facilities, infrastructure-wise. The football field that we practise on is farmland and that is rented. On a ground like this, our footballs don't last. We need 30 to 40 footballs each month. These are the requirements that we have. Children need boots too. If we can get the support, we need, we can take football to greater heights”, believes Priya.“If we get the facilities and the infrastructure that a proper club has, it will not take us much time to scale our impact to 10x to 20x. Please support us,” add Digvijay.Donate to this fundraiser by Simply Sport Foundation on give.do, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to help develop footballing talent from tribal communities and transform lives through sports.

“There isn't a drop of water in our village. I leave home at 3 a.m. to fetch water. Even the water I can get is so dirty that sometimes we feel like vomiting while drinking it but we have no other option. It's been 30 years since I have been walking day and night for water. My legs don't have strength anymore but I still need to do it for my family,” says Ajiya, one out of thousands of women in villages around Jodhpur, Rajasthan, who have suffered for decades without access to water.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/5e97abc2-b235-4d39-b7fd-6e1092c43fb8.webp" />The solution to their problems is simple. Digging and de-silting of village ponds can help thousands of families collect rainwater, which can last them throughout the year. But today, something as basic as clean drinking water is becoming a distant dream. Karunalaya Social Welfare Foundation is on a mission to help over 30,000 villagers get access to clean drinking water. Your contribution can ease the suffering of women and children who are forced to walk for hours to get water. Donate now to transform their lives.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).The nightmare of life without water“Pregnant women have to travel 15-20 kilometres just to fetch water. This sometimes leads to miscarriages, too. The groundwater level here is 700-800 feet deep and it becomes very difficult to bring it to the surface through hand-pumps and the water is brackish, which makes it impossible to drink. When we don’t get potable water, we are often forced to do with brackish water,” says Poonam Singh, Founder of Karunalaya Social Welfare Foundation while narrating the plight of women in the area. <img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/b3709a74-bc4b-4d0b-a117-afc3beca04e2.webp" />According to Poonam despite walking for hours women do not know if they can find water during peak summers. Unfortunately, there are times when entire families go without a drop of water. “Many times women walk 3-4 kilometres in the hot sun with empty vessels on their heads in search of water and then they come to know that there is no water. They have to return home with their empty vessels,” she says.  Your contribution can help thousands of women from walking in the scorching desert sun to fetch water. Donate now to give them access to clean drinking water.A solution to decades of suffering“There is water in the pond for only three-four months and there is no water after that. As the ponds are not very deep, the water doesn’t accumulate (during the rainy season). We would like to dig deep and take the mud out so that enough water can stay in the pond during the rainy season”, Poonam says. <img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/6e804bba-e3a2-40fb-9d3a-85ef1167be10.webp" />“I would like to request that you donate in large numbers so that we can rejuvenate ponds that have gone dry and help people with safe drinking water,” she appeals.Donate to this fundraiser by Karunalaya Social Welfare Foundation on Give, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to provide access to clean drinking water to over 30,000 people from water-starved villages of Rajasthan.

Neither 8-year-old Sarita (name changed), nor her parents had ever seen the inside of a school until recently. And had it not been for our NGO partner Turnstone Global, yet another generation of the family would have followed in the footsteps of those before. And Sarita would be left with no other option but to remain trapped in the cycle of poverty and illiteracy. Not just Sarita but a large number of children have had no access to education in the extremely backward areas of Purulia district in West Bengal. Turnstone Global’s Daulat Public School has brought in winds of change for countless children like Sarita who are the first in their families to receive formal education. Visually impaired, Dr Kanchan Gaba, head of Turnstone Global, noticed the transformation that education can bring in the lives of the less privileged and started Daulat Public School. Its sole objective is to usher in a brighter future for children of Purulia. But she can not do it alone.Dr Kanchan, strapped for funds, is struggling to expand her school to meet the vast need in the region. Join her in this mission and enable hundreds of children to start their educational journey today. Donate now. 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), &amp; 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (USA). Staggering scale of poverty“Poverty in these areas is such that families are struggling for two square meals a day. Most families are surviving on just rice and salt which is provided by the government. Proper education, which can be the only beacon of hope for children to come out of generational poverty, is well out of reach for tribal families here, Dr Kanchan says. The scale of poverty in these villages is staggering and the need for education is immense. Turnstone Global and Dr Kanchan cannot tackle this challenge alone. With a little support, the NGO can be a catalyst of change for generations to come. Donate generously to make Dr Kanchan’s dream come true. Generations trapped in illiteracyAccording to the head of the nonprofit organisation, not a single member of several families has ever set foot in a school. When ground level workers of Turnstone Global began surveying the area and spoke to families, they were astonished to see that even the concept of education was foreign to many. However, today Turnstone Global is providing quality English education and nutritious meals to over 250 students. “We want to open the door of education for hundreds of more children but the biggest hurdle for us is the paucity of funds. We are in urgent need to expand the capacity of our school so that many more can grow up to become capable and successful members of society”, Dr Kanchan says.Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest and most trusted online giving platform, to support Turnstone Global in giving children from tribal communities and first generation learners quality education and empower them to break the cycle of generational poverty.
