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.

“I never set foot in a school and I can’t read or write but today when I see my daughter speak in English, it fills my heart with so much joy. I am a rickshaw puller, I couldn’t dream of sending my child to an English medium school”, says Murtuza, one of the thousands of underprivileged slum dwellers who have found hope at Samaritan Help Mission School.After being kicked out of school in class 7th due to poverty, Mamoon Akthar resolved that he would ensure no child was deprived of education the way he was.

Mamoon Akhtar, who grew up in the slums of Tikiapara, Kolkata, has embarked on a mission to break this cycle through education. “My teachers came and told me your fees are not cleared. And if you don't clear the fees you will not be allowed to sit for the exam. It was that day that I had to leave the school. I thought that I will someday create the opportunity for children from slums which I never got” recalls Mamoon.While talking about the deplorable condition of children in slums, Mamoon shared that each year countless innocent lives are destroyed by abusers and exploiters. “For these children for whom school is a luxury, the only option left is rag-picking. The children are misused and pulled into a life of crime. They remain illiterate and the cycle of poverty never ends”, he further says. Support the Samaritan Help Mission and join the movement“I started with just six students in my thatched roof hut in the slums. But I did not even have the money to buy books and copies for the children. I went around collecting waste paper from office buildings and then sold that to provide supplies for my students. Today I am educating over 6,500 students in our school”, Mamoon added.Mamoon says “If we fail to provide these children the education and opportunities they deserve, these children will lose all hope of a future. They will continue to remain in darkness.I urge each one to come and join me in helping thousands of children from the most backward and impoverished families to break free from poverty, illiteracy and generational poverty.”Donate to this fundraiser on Give, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to help Mamoon shine the light of education on underprivileged children from slums and brighten their lives forever.
