“They insert a candle in the vagina, fingers are inserted (in the vagina) and tortured, and if children don’t relent even then, they 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 Society for Participatory Integrated Development (SPID), in course of talking about many heart-rending stories of trafficked children in red-light areas.In over three decades, the SPID led by Lalitha, has saved over 3000 children from the red-light areas, many from clutches of sex trafficking.Sadly, many more children need to be rescued and in need of a loving home.

“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. There are many who helplessly see their dear ones, including children, lose their life in the most painful manner. Nargis Dutt Foundation has ensured that thousands of families don’t see this fate. It’s been a ray of hope for thousands of cancer patients since its inception over 40 years back. You can help save many more patients with cancer. 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). The cost of each chemotherapy is as much as ₹15,000 and a cancer patient can require between 6 to 12 sessions. The hefty cost for cancer treatment is well beyond the reach for poor families that are barely surviving on two square meals a day. Help Nargis Dutt Foundation provide treatment to poor cancer patients and save them from a slow and painful death.Giving hope to cancer patients“I was just 13 when my mother was diagnosed with cancer. 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.

Women come to us in dire conditions, being hapless victims of domestic violence, physically bruised and tormented mentally. In most cases, they come with children who are completely dependent on institutional support to heal and come back to mainstream society. Hence empowering women is an indispensable tool for advancing economic development as they contribute a great deal to the health and productivity of whole families and communities. Education, awareness, and vocational training are an important means of empowering women with knowledge, skills, expertise, entrepreneurship, which can greatly enhance their self-confidence and wellbeing to fully participate in the development process.We do our best to seek this objective through our various empowerment initiatives. 
 •	Our main task is to empower the women in distress in every way, be it socially, emotionally, financially, to restore them their rightful and dignified status in society•	 Nurture their inner strength, creativity, and self-esteem and prepare them to face the world with confidence and grace.•	 Prepare them to promote equality through community initiatives and become agents of peace, equality and positive social change.•	 Provide them the knowledge, vocational skills, attitude, soft skills and mentoring, implement enterprise development / Entrepreneurship and train for marketing practices that will empower them to be self-reliant by breaking into higher paid employment and be economically independent.•	 Adopt appropriate measures to improve women’s ability to earn income beyond traditional occupations, ensure equal access to education, healthcare and awareness and ensure their safety and wellbeing.•	 Educate them, as education is a potent tool to progress in life and empower them with knowledge of their legal and social rights 
 Imparting knowledge, expertise, skills and mentoring through our in-house and external vocational training as per their area of interest has impacted thousands of residents of our Swadhar Greh over the years since the inception of the shelter home, and helped them break into a higher paid employment to become economically independent.Training in Yoga and Meditation has created a holistic approach to healing of their battered souls and changed their perspective on life to one of positivity, hope, cheer and seeking independence. By giving them soft skill training we have impacted their personalities to make them self-confident, happy and self-reliant.
