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. 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).From IIT Kharagpur to Majuli“When I first visited the remote villages of Majuli I was shocked. 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. Donate now.Donate to save future generations“People of the island value education greatly because they know that their children have no future without it. 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.

Help brave soul Shaheen give life-changing surgeries and shelter to acid attack victims like her“I was waiting outside my office one day when suddenly a guy walked up beside me and before I could react, he had drenched my face with acid. I was an ambitious, career-oriented young woman but that day changed the course of my entire life. After the attack I could barely recognise the person I saw in the mirror. My entire identity was taken away from me. The attackers thought they would teach me a lesson and dampen my spirit, but they failed. Through my resilience I fought through financial struggles and began to care for girls and young women like me”, says Shaheen Malik, founder of Brave Souls.

I didn't understand what had happened. The acid had gone into both my eyes. I was rushed to the hospital. By then I had already sight in one of my eyes and could barely see anything from the other. When they splashed water on me each drop felt like a thousand needles,” recalls Shaheen as she narrates events from the fateful day.“Little did I know that the attack was just the beginning of my struggles. Our family did not have enough resources to carry the burden of my treatment. I would go and ask people for funds but would be turned down. I would cry on my way back but would wipe my tears and soldier on. The fight still continues even after a decade. And I am not just fighting for myself but for hundreds of other girls and young women like myself” She further adds.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/8e5b3e32-cd9a-4060-a715-6ceb01ac587b.webp" />Why donate to the fundraiserBrave Souls is in urgent need of funds to be able to provide critical surgeries needed to help acid attack victims.

With a feeling of acceptance and belonging, the Foundation aims to:<ul><li>Provide skilling opportunities to the LGBTQ community</li><li>Sensitize workspaces to accept diversity as a way of life</li><li>Work towards gender neutral policies and benefits</li></ul>These efforts are all centred around one goal—usher the community into the mainstream by putting an end to discrimination.

Why do some people succeed and some do not? Why are some people able to cope with their challenges while some cannot? Why are some people able to lead a life of dignity and fulfilment and some find themselves in the margins of our societies? The answers to these questions are multifaceted and complex.Individual resilience and choices in thoughts and actions are major building blocks in our efforts to lead satisfying and productive lives. They aren’t innate and require a great degree of learning and nurturing. Though leadership programs in formal education settings and beyond help with this, they have traditionally excluded and ignored queer youth and their perspectives, limiting their extraordinary potential.Additionally, today’s India lacks openly queer or trans leadership and representation to set examples and provide guidance to queer youth. In fact, queer youth often use their talents to fight stigma, prejudice, homophobia and transphobia in their communities. The result is that much of India’s queer youth are left with a yearning to develop skills to deal with a society and corporate world that is unaccepting of them, but also a need to deal with the unique complications within their own lives. The history of the queer community has been marked by struggles; social ostracization, bullying in educational institutions which increases dropout rates and cognitive development, no inclusive policies in workspaces, discrimination in formal spaces thus alienating them further. 
 KSF Fellowship programme in association with Toronto Mindfulness Centre, provides transformational support of a global and national network of Queer visionaries – scientists, artists, activists, entrepreneurs, doctors, journalists and inventors – who collaborate across disciplines to create positive change around the world for the LGBTQ+ individuals.With the advent of the 377 verdict, the legality has changed and today it is imperative to start and follow up on inclusive conversations. Few action pointers are:<ul><li>The need for today is representation and access to equal opportunities in all spaces, this means empowering the community by creating livelihood opportunities by education, skill development, and mentorship.</li><li>Also, an urgent priority is empowering queer people in rural areas where conversations are almost negligible, and their pronounced hardships require immediate intervention.</li><li>There is also an urgent need to work on providing mental health support to people from the community where depression and suicide rates are very high due to the countless social pressure they face on an everyday basic.</li></ul>The KSF Fellowship will provide mentorship to emerging queer aspirants, in order to realize their many potentials and break out of the many social obstacles. The mentors will be selected queer leaders who have empowered themselves to stand tall in their respective formal sectors. 
 Participants after the successful completion of the course will receive a Certificate of Fellowship from Keshav Suri Foundation. They would officially be referred to as the KSF Fellows. So many from the community even lack the fundamentals of profession and that’s the consistent aim of the fellowship which is to embrace, empower and mainstream youth from the community and become social leaders. The goal is to build social leaders from different walks of life, who in turn transform into peer leaders for their respective locations and continue the chain of support and empowerment.
