“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.

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.

“The Hummingbird School is my only hope to succeed in life. I feel I am trying to swim out of this place (Majuli) and my school stands as a beacon on the other side of the river. If my school closes down, I feel I will drown in this river. Not just me but every child in villages around here and our families depend on this school”, says Roopjyoti, a bright, young student of Ayang Trust’s The Hummingbird School.Majuli Island, where The Hummingbird School is situated is shrinking rapidly, leaving a majority of its residents struggling to survive. For the children of this impoverished tribal community, education remains the only way out of suffering.Your support to Ayang Trust’s Hummingbird School can ensure that its students can have a future different from their parents who are struggling to get even two meals a day.

The extent of the struggles here was beyond my imagination. These villages had no connectivity to the outside world, no healthcare, no education, there was absolutely nothing”, says Bipin Dhane founder of the school. Bipin, who grew up in the small town of Satara in Maharashtra, faced countless financial hardships. Despite his struggles, Bipin secured admission to the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, and then went on to take up a job in Singapore. Owing to his childhood experiences Bipin was always inclined towards helping the less fortunate, and he believed in the transformative power of education. It was in 2016 that Bipin left his lucrative career abroad and moved to Majuli, to provide the children from this inaccessible river island education they were deprived of.“Whatever little money I had saved, I gave it to my parents. I had no money to start the school. It was then that villagers came together to build bamboo huts. Each family donated bamboo, wood, and whatever little they could. It was the parents of our students who erected huts for the school to start”, shares Bipin while talking about the inception of The Hummingbird School in 2017.Help Bipin save underprivileged children of Majuli Island from generational poverty and give them a chance to succeed.

Parents have vested their faith in The Humming Bird School because they don't want their children to suffer the way they have been”, says Bipin. Bipin says, “Today we have over 280 students in our school and about 90 children live in our hostel. Many of these children are orphaned and have no means of survival. I urge each one of you to come forward and donate to us so we can help hundreds of children escape from the cycle of poverty.”Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to help children of Majuli Island get an education and break the cycle of poverty.

Time stood still for 12-year-old Shrikant when he got the news that his father, a debt-ridden farmer from Beed, had taken his own life. Shrikant’s village was one of the worst hit areas during devastating drought in 2015 and his mother, a daily wage labourer, was finding it hard to feed the family of three. The family was penniless and could not feed itself, and debtors were knocking on the doors. Had it not been for Ashok Deshmane and Snehwan, Shrikant would have slipped into the bottomless pit of child labour.Deshmane needs your help to rescue the children of drought-hit farmers taking their own lives. Donate now.Deshmane, who has faced the perils of farmer distress firsthand, has made it his life’s mission to come to the aid of children affected by farmer suicides. He left a successful career in IT and founded Snehwan to provide food, shelter, and education to orphans of farmer suicides. There has been a steep rise in farmer suicides following Covid-19 and fresh droughts in Maharashtra. The number of kids that are in dire need of support is growing almost every day.Snehwan is building its second shelter home to take in 200 more children and needs your urgent help to complete it. Help orphans of farmer suicides find their feet and fresh hope in life. <img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/8c3923fc-52f9-4732-9088-0174a4553718.jpg" />Ashok’s missionAshok, son of a farmer himself, braved his way through abject poverty to educate himself and build a career in IT. During a visit to his village in 2015, he was overwhelmed seeing the orphans of farmer suicides starving, and decided to take 18 children into his care.“I just could not remain a mute spectator while children starved in drought-struck villages. I had to do something” says Ashok, and Snehwan was conceived in 2015. Swami Vivekanand Dnyanalay, a ray of hopeAshok says that his responsibility is not merely to provide food and shelter to children but to provide them with holistic development. He aspires to raise them as socially aware, skilled, and responsible citizens of the country who can then carry his work forward.The shelter home which started with 18 kids is now a ray of hope for more than 50 children who call it home. Situated in a village near Pune, the Swami Vivekanand Dnyanalay not only provides food, shelter, and quality education to these kids but gives them a family. Ashok and Archana’s plea“Drought and climate change is worsening and we are in urgent need of funds to extend our efforts and expand the shelter home to bring in 200 more children under our protective wings. We cannot let these kids have a fate similar to their parents”, pray Ashok and Archana. Only you can help Ashok and Archana save the future of these children. Donate generously.

Education

In Government schools so that the children can benefit from the basic necessities often taken for granted by the rest of the world. The programs of Project 511 are broadly classified into infrastructure building and competency building. Infrastructure building covers construction of toilets and providing blackboards and seating to all classrooms. Competency building covers providing the schools with science labs and teaching and learning kits. Project 511 is currently working with 1022 schools and has benefited over 2,00,000 students. Our geographic reach extends from Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy, Medchal, Sangareddy and Vikarabad districts.Hyderabad Round Table 8 is a member of Round Table India (RTI) - a fellowship and community service organisation. One of the oldest and most active organisations in the country, the RTI initiated the Freedom through Education campaign in the early 2000s with the vision to put 1 million children, who would have otherwise stayed illiterate, in schools. RTI has built over 600 schools in India, of which 40 schools have been built in Hyderabad. A few of our infrastructure projects are listed below.Operation Blackboard Education for every child begins on a blackboard. Yet, most schools either lack this most basic medium of education or require repairing. We, at Project 511, refurbish existing blackboards by repairing and painting them and furnish new ones in classrooms that don’t have any. 6809 blackboards in 829 schools.Operation SanitationA hygienic lavatory is as important for a school as an equipped classroom. The truth, however, is very different in Government schools. In most schools, students and teachers go without any toilet facility for more than 6 hours. Under Operation Sanitation we construct separate toilet facilities for boys and girls and until now have constructed or repaired toilets in more than 93 schools, covering 461 units.Operation SeatingLack of benches in classrooms force children to sit in uncomfortable and unhygienic conditions. Sitting on the floor for several hours at a stretch also leads to neck aches, short attention span and bad posture. To make education a convenience instead of discomfort, we introduced Operation Seating. Under this, we provide desks for children to sit and write on. 363 schools 19045 dual desks supplied so far.Additional class roomsProject 511, in 80-20 partnership with SSA, has constructed 16 school buildings and 80 class rooms so far.

Government and NGOs are working towards sending more children to school than to work. Government Schools, are unable to provide quality education nor retain students in school. Schools do not have adequate class rooms, lack furniture, they do not have electricity and drinking water. Classes are held in the open. New buildings are constructed but there is no furniture. Students are forced to sit on the floor. This leads to neck and back pain affecting their posture and growth. Teachers also complain that students get disturbed during a class when they sit on the floor. Space also becomes a constraint as they must place their bags on the floor. Handwriting also gets affected. 
 Project 511 in partnership with Rajiv Vidya Mission (SSA), Corporate & Individual Donors, Round Tables, Trusts and Associations have been providing dual desks with backrest and shelf space to government schools in Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy, Medchal, Sanga Reddy, and Vikarabad. Project 511 support schools by constructing school buildings, additional classrooms, toilets, and providing dual desks. We also provide black boards, mobile science lab kits, note books, library books, stationery, teaching learning material and language development programs. We provide teachers, ayahs, computers. We promote reading skills by donating books.We conduct drawing competitions, sports events, plantation, eye camp, motivation camps. 
 Project 511 is working in Government Schools providing Infrastructure & Competency Building Programs. These Programs aim at providing basic facilities like water, sanitation, furniture and improving learning ability in students studying in Government schools. Project 511 in Partnership with Rotary Club and RVM (SSA) have donated 15676 Dual Desks in 320 schools covering 47,028 students. Project 511 through its projects has reached out to more than 2 lakh children studying in 1022 Government schools. Of these 1022 schools, 551 Schools are in Hyderabad District, 460 Schools are in Ranga Reddy District & 11 Schools in Sanga Reddy and Vikarabad.
