"My son used to kick me when he was in my womb. Why make an issue when he kicked me in my old age?" reasons a very forgiving Shakti Dasi. The widow travelled 2300 kms from Tripura to Vrindavan after her only son violently beat her with a burning plank of wood and broke her knee one evening. She had to leave behind the business she had built with her husband who had died a few years back. Shakti ended up on the streets of Brindavan begging for food and shelter. But when Winnie Singh of Maitri saw Shakti in a frail state in tattered clothes, she brought her to the shelter home where Shakti gets food, care and medicines. What more, with Maitri’s intervention, Shakti reconciled with her son - and daughter-in-law, and now travels home to Tripura twice a year to spend time with her grandchildren. But she is not leaving Maitri, as this has become her family.Not every elderly widow who comes to Vrindavan after being abandoned by her family gets as lucky as Shakti. Many of them often end up living a lonely life and begging to survive on the streets. Maitri aspires to take care of every widow in need of help.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/ce101369-528c-4d37-bc1d-1118b9925af3.jpg" />Maitri’s Project Jeevan to the rescueAbandoned, elderly widows are the amongst the most vulnerable in India.

Save abandoned, elderly widow mothers of Vrindavan from begging on streets

For a mother who has spent her entire life loving and raising her child, being beaten and mercilessly thrown out onto the streets by her own son is too heartbreaking to overcome. But this is a common story among the elderly residents of the Guru Vishram Vridh Ashram. “I’ve seen mothers in old and torn clothes, their bodies smelling and their hands and feet rotting and covered in maggots,” shares Dr. G.P. Bhagat, founder of the ashram. These abandoned elderly men and women lay starving on the streets hoping for someone to rescue them from their suffering. But most people walk past them without a second glance. “Like this”, Dr. Bhagat explains, “many elders die on the roads.”Since 2003, SHEOWS (Saint Hardyal Educational and Orphans Welfare Society) has rescued over 10,000 elderly people from the streets and given them a home with care and support. The elderly staying at the ashram have all been abandoned by their families and have nowhere else to live. Your support can give them comfort after their abandonment.

The Guru Vishram Vridh Ashram has a dedicated rescue team that saves the elderly from the streets and gives them immediate medical care upon their arrival at the home. To tend to the multiple health complications of the seniors, the home has a medical facility with doctors and nurses, a physiotherapy unit, a pathology lab, a digital X-ray monitoring machine and a pharmacy to provide 24-hour care to older adults anytime they require assistance, even during emergencies. Dr. Bhagat prioritizes the health of the seniors and ensures that they receive three balanced meals a day based on their precise health requirements. Need for the fundraiserThe humanitarian mission of SHEOWS is making an impact in the area, as more and more people are being rescued and brought to Guru Vishram Vridh Ashram. To meet the financial costs of running the home, SHEOWS needs support to continue providing the residents with all the facilities that they need. This includes constant care and round-the-clock medical attention, nutritious food and maintaining a hygienic environment to keep the seniors in comfort and good health. Dr. Bhagat explains that as the number of residents is increasing, SHEOWS needs support for food and medicines. “I request you to help these elderly parents lead a peaceful life.”Donate now to help Dr. Bhagat continue caring for the 500 destitute elderly and giving them shelter, food, medical care and the will to carry on living despite their tragic abandonment by their families. Your support will enable SHEOWS to keep serving abandoned senior citizens and help them recover from the trauma of abandonment and life on the streets. “I have been serving these elderly as if they were my own parents”, shares Dr. Bhagat. “I want only one thing - their tears should vanish and they should have a smile on their faces.” To help Dr. Bhagat achieve this dream, your support is critical. Donate now to help SHEOWS care for more abandoned elderly. Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest online donation platform, to support SHEOWS in their mission to rescue the abandoned elderly from the streets and give them shelter, food, medical care, recreational activities and emotional support.

In the dark and dingy alleys of red light areas, injustice, pain and suffering run rampant. And the worst affected are the children who grow up in red-light areas and are subjected to constant abuse and violence. “The sight of a 12-year-old girl being gang-raped by a group of men near a house l haunts me to this date. I was filled with anguish and resolved to do something,” says Girish Kulkarni who has made it his life’s mission to rescue children from red light areas and give them a safe and secure childhood. In the last 3 decades Girish has saved over 1100 girls from a life of abuse in red-light areas, giving them a loving home, education and medical care. He has further supported over 20,000 children with a better life.Sadly, 250 of the children rescued from abuse and exploitation are HIV positive. The high cost of medication has left Girish struggling for funds. Your support can help him provide these children with the care and upbringing they need. 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). A movement to protect vulnerable children“Growing up in Ahmednagar, the experiences I had as a child witnessing the horrors of sex trade defined the path of my life. I had even seen my friend’s 15-year-old sister and 70-year-old grandmother being forced to do sex work for the price of a cup of tea”, recalls Girish. “I started by merely feeding and teaching children of sex workers initially with the intention of giving them some respite from the horrors of life of abuse in red-light areas. Gradually more and more mothers started coming to me and asked me to take their children away, even if it was just for a couple of hours,” he further adds.The work that Girish started in his youth gradually grew to become a movement, with many more joining his cause. His NGO Snehalaya to date has transformed the lives of millions. Girish’s work is crucial for the survival and safety of vulnerable children of sex workers. Snehalaya is almost entirely dependent on donations from the public and your support can strengthen his mission to save children most in need. Donate generously.The horrors of life in red light areas“The cruelty and abuse that children as young as 6 or 7 years of age face is something that I can’t explain in words. Young daughters of sex workers are made to watch their mothers being raped, are brutally assaulted and forced into sex work. No child deserves to grow like this, Girish says in anguish.Sad reality of life for children growing up in red light areas is that they are deprived of even the most basic needs like proper food, safety and education. Moreover, a majority of children rescued by Girish are diagnosed HIV positive. The task of securing medication, providing them quality education and much needed nutrition is one that requires constant support from donors. Moreover, the increase in healthcare cost has left Girish struggling to keep his home for children going. But your support can enable him to give his children a loving environment and save many more who still remain trapped behind closed doors.Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to help Snehalaya give hundreds of children rescued from red-light areas a life away from violence and abuse.

Not only are they forced to drop out of school, but they are also deprived of the opportunity to achieve their true potential.Pre and Post COVID girls have been facing the following challenges leading to increase in dropout rates which are as follows<ul><li>Education Expense: Due to financial constraints a lot of parents prefer educating their son instead of their daughter.</li><li>Child Marriage: Girls are forced to drop out of school or never sent to school so that they can be married off early.</li><li>Long Distance to School: In rural areas, children often walk long distances to school. Girls are forced to stay at home due to increased risk of violence.</li><li>Gender Inequality: Often girls are denied education because of the staunch patriarchal norms and belief that they will eventually get married and go to a different family, while the boy will stay with the parents and take care of them</li><li>Household Chores: Many girls are denied education to take up household responsibilities and take care of family members.</li></ul>

One of the major indicators of a progressive society is the status of women- their level of engagement in economic activities, access to basic entitlements like health, education, level of participation in socio-political activities and the power they are able to wield to influence the decisions that determine the future of their families, communities and countries at large. However, in India, just like in many other developing and least developed countries, gender inequality has proved to be a major barrier to sustainable development. Along with lack of access to basic entitlements, the declining trend in child sex ratio, that is, the number of girl children (0-6 years) per 1,000 boy children (0-6 years), has led to the creation of a vicious intergenerational cycle of gender inequality across India. Changes in Child Sex Ratio index reflects underlying socio-economic and cultural patterns of the society, especially its attitude towards the girl child[1].There are certain barriers to development of women in Jaipur, particularly the lack of available water mainly owing to the arid climate conditions. The slums in the city are the worst affected by this problem and women and young girls are forced to walk for miles to fetch water, most of which is unfit for drinking. Secondly, the district of Jaipur, following the state trend, has a skewed sex ratio of just 910 females per thousand males, which reflects deeply entrenched cultural and sociological barriers to women's development[2]. Though the literacy rate in Jaipur district is 75.5 percent, higher than the State Average of 66.1 percent, yet the gender gap in the literacy rate, at 22.1 percent, is a major concern[3]. Girl children, especially those hailing from underprivileged communities are deprived of quality education, nutrition, health care and are a target for abuse and neglect due to deeply entrenched socio-cultural traditions. And there is hardly any recognition of the fact that these children have immense potential as individuals and have the fundamental right to access services related to education and health. There are a significant number of girl children who are not enrolled in school. Those who are enrolled are expected to fulfill gender specific roles and responsibilities, like helping with household chores, tending younger siblings, taking care of cattle, fetching water, or engagement in economic activities and they often have to miss school. Several girls are not allowed to attend school after attaining puberty. Child marriages and early marriages are also rampant.These existential experiences, coupled with the lack of effective parental support in nurturing girl children’s education have grossly undermined the standards of female education in Jaipur and thus most girl children’s potential to access quality basic education and / or to succeed at school.

 The proposed project shall be an integrated, intensive and culturally sensitive intervention which aims to enhance educational and skill attainment levels of girls hailing from underprivileged communities and, thus strengthen efforts to reduce the prevailing gender disparity, which is one of the major challenges across the state. The proposed project has two main themes/components- i) remedial education for 80 school going girl (10-15 years) and ii) training on stitching and tailoring for 20 secondary/senior secondary pass out and school drop out girls (16-18 years). The sub-themes/sub-components of the project include training on computer, Communicative English, reading skills, life skills, self-defense, sessions on health, hygiene and nutrition for all the girls. The teaching and training sessions shall be conducted in the Laadli Community Center in Amer town of Jaipur City. Considering the background of the girls, the process shall aim at delivering a child-friendly and gender sensitive education in an environment where the dignity of the girl child is respected and where her rights in relation to education and sustainable development are put on the forefront. Accordingly, the project implementation team will reach out to the girls, their parents/guardians, their teachers in addition to advocating for and preparing an ambient environment for the practice of rights of the girl child, while sensitizing community, decision makers and the public at large. In this connection, appropriate awareness generation material shall be developed in addition to developing suitable teaching/ learning activity modules that will facilitate the delivery of a child friendly and gender sensitive education.
