Help Disabled Children with Shelter & Care

“We received a distress call saying that a blind girl is being held captive by a woman and is being forced to beg. Our volunteers were able to rescue that girl and bring her to the Blind Welfare Society home for girls. We cared for her and educated her. Today that girl is a senior government official”, says Asha Bhola, President, Blind Welfare Society (BWS) as she recalls how her organisation has been able to transform lives.BWS has been a ray of hope for 40 such blind girls, many of whom have been abandoned by their families owing to their visual impairment. Sadly, the care, shelter and education for blind girls come at a cost, and BWS is unable to keep its work going. Your donations can help shine the light of education upon 40 blind girls and change their lives forever. 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). Neglect, Abandonment and StigmaIn various parts of the country, a blind girl is often seen as a curse and a burden for no fault of theirs. According to the nonprofit office bearer, “Many parents neglect their blind daughters and at times even sell them off for begging, etc. Even if the girl is from a well-to-do family, they feel providing education and care to a blind girl is a waste of money”. “What is the fault of an innocent child?”, she asks.Education, the only hope “These girls have no future without education. If they don’t receive education, they will remain uncared for. They will continue to be ignored by not just their families but even by society at large. Whatever I am today is only because of the education I received. But sadly, every blind girl is not as fortunate. Most visually impaired girls are deprived of any care and even something as basic as education thus leading to a life of darkness”, Asha adds. You can be the light in the lives of these 40 blind girls who have not seen anything but darkness. Help support their education and be a catalyst for change in their lives.

“The major problem in society today is the stigma against mentally ill or mentally disabled people. Families feed and care for men who are mentally ill and keep them at home. But no one wants to help women with mental illnesses,” says N Vanitha Rengaraj, chairperson of Sharanalayam.Sharanalaym’s ‘Jothi’ is a sanctuary for over 100 women facing mental challenges. Women with mental illness facing various challenges on the streets are brought to Sharanalayam with the help of the authorities and cared for. <img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/88597e5c-903c-4c84-8cf5-34ba9d96defd.webp" />Donate easily through UPI, all debit/credit cards and net banking. Donations to this fundraiser are tax exempted under 80G of the Income Tax Act (India).The women at Sharanalaym Jothi are provided with necessities like food, clothing and medical care. They also get mental health services, access to psychiatrists and counseling, empowering individuals on their path to recovery.Once lost and vulnerable on unfamiliar streets, the women at Sharanalaym Jothi find solace.By supporting mentally disabled women at Sharanalaym Jothi, you contribute to creating a better world. We can ensure these women receive the care and support they deserve.Over the years, Vanitha has tried her best to run Sharanalayam from her own resources and that of her well-wishers, but the last few years have been harsh. “I normally don’t extend my hand for people to donate. Many have come on their own. But life has become a bit difficult now. I need your support to take care of the women here and also bring more women here in need of help,” says Vanitha.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/e5b9bb35-4261-4187-a4cc-d89ac34d66cc.webp" /> How Sharanalayam came into beingThe NGO started its operations in 2001 from rented premises in Pollachi in the district of Coimbatore. It started with taking care of children in difficult conditions. It slowly started taking care of mentally challenged women. Sharanalayam has come a long way since that time, with hundreds of children and women being taken care of by the NGO in the last two decades. Many women were rehabilitated by the NGO, thanks to its facilities.Sharanalayam needs urgent support to take care of over 100 women. The organisation also aspires to take care of many more mentally ill women in the coming months and years. Vanitha cannot do it without your support. <img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/37ef7f6a-11d8-4a6c-b176-41dd5b51c21f.webp" />Donate to this fundraiser on Give.do, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to help abandoned mentally ill women get care and shelter.

KIRAN literally means ‘ray of light’. It is a center for differently-able children and youngsters. Founded in September 1990 by a small group of people from various social, cultural and religious backgrounds, it has continued to work based on the idea of togetherness, enriching everyone’s talent and abilities.In 1998, KIRAN Society shifted from the city Varanasi to Madhopur, a village near to the famous Sultankeshwar Temple located about 12 kms south of B.H.U. (Banares Hindu University). Today the KIRAN Centre functions as a small village where children and youngster with different abilities receive education, skills and vocational training and physical rehabilitation and where Inclusiveness is giving happiness to all.Most of the children and youngsters we work with are suffering from the consequences of polio, cerebral palsy, rickets or hearing impairments. They have the potential to lead normal lives, if only we can reach them somehow. Unfortunately many such children suffer the fate of being hidden and kept at their homes and getting no access to education or rehabilitation.

Help Children with Disabilities through education & rehabilitation

To promotes skill development for students who are unable to continue down the path of mainstream education by providing training of 2 years in wood workshop (carpentry &amp; IQ toys), tailoring, horticulture &amp; organic farming, arts &amp; design or bakery and food preservation. There is also a program called “Saksham Grihini” that offers basic education and training to young women from rural areas, who did not have the opportunity to finish or follow an education, to be prepared for their role as women and wives by learning household chores and practical life issues (child care, cooking, sewing, health, security and their rights as women).1. Many of our trainees are from rural areas, a population that depends on agriculture and is vulnerable to rural disasters (drought, flooding, locust invasion, etc.), therefore the quantity of their food is uncertain and they do not consume a diversified diet;2. Women and girls are the most affected by food shortages. According to traditional Indian customs, women eat after the men, so they usually eat less and eat the leftovers that do not contain the necessary nutrients. In Uttar Pradesh, about 50 percent of women suffer from iron deficiency, which can lead to extreme fatigue, shortness of breath and the incapacity to complete the training;3. People with disabilities must have proper food to take medication to avoid side effects and to metabolize the medicine effectively.In order to avoid disparities among the trainees and to offer equal opportunities to complete their training, providing meals is a necessary. 
 Improving the working conditions and the health of the vocational trainees, in the long term, by providing nutritious food for lunch at the nearby canteen of Kiran Society. The Sustainable Development Goals are involved in this project are -Universal access to safe and nutritious foodEqual access to affordable technical, vocational and higher educationIncrease the number of person with relevant skills for financial success 
 Improving the health of the trainees such as reducing the number of women with iron deficiency;- Improving the resilience of the trainees during rural disasters and food scarcities;- Learning and gaining skills faster;- Decreasing in the number of trainees unable to complete their training due to health or economic problems.
