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.

In Pudukkottai District, there is a place called Arasadipatti, where the most underprivileged and illiterate people are living. There is a most deprived family of Karuppaiah and Devi are living with 9 children. The mother Devi was died during child birth of their last child. Because of his wife’s death Karuppaiah became drink addict and forgot is responsibility. After some time, he had left these children alone and gone somewhere.Now the children are hopeless and supportless. The first two children were left the home and get married by themselves. Now the third child is also left the home. But the rest of the children are struggling hard for their day to day survival. Their grandmother Logambal, 80 years old lady only taking care of these children with the support of their aunt Selvarani, she is the destitute with two children. All these children are living in the place, which is covered by Thaarpai (plastic cover), they don’t even have hut. There are some broken walls in that they have covered with some plastic cover &amp; living there without any safety. Their situation becomes worst &amp; even more pathetic during the rainy season/ other pandemic times. 
 These children are suffering without proper care and protection. They don’t even have their basic rights of living in a safety place. Their aunt is the only earning member and she is generating income by doing coolie works or selling flowers, which is not at all sufficient for their food and day to day survival. In this situation, they couldn’t build a home. So, we have decided to build them a small house to live safely.Six children, the 80 years old grandmother and their aunt along with her two children, over all 8 children and two adults are in this family now. They are really facing more difficulty for their sustainability. If they have a proper place to live atleast will give them the big support for their life.

These women have completed their training and awaiting for the source to generate income for their sustainable livelihood.           If they get sewing machines, they can start up their own business in their home itself or they can start joint venture. We have also joined them in the Tamilnadu co-operative Society as a member, there they will be getting the opportunity to stitch the uniform dresses of Government school children. So, it could also be the good source of income for them.  For all, they are in need of sewing machine, so that they can generate income and can be self reliable.

Lot of gypsy community and nomadic people are living in Pudukkottai District. Our organization have done the survey and identified the slum area KamarajarNagar, where more than 150 families are living without literacy and not even have the awareness about education and also there is no Government balwadi. So, we have decided to make them aware about the importance of education, we try to begin with early childhood education. There are more than 40 children between the age group 2-5 years are available. If we try to bring the changes from childhood, it gives good impact in their community. These people don’t have standard job or income. They are maximum jobless and living by begging or selling some oosimani/paasimani- fancy items in bus stand or roadways. Spending their life just like that and nurturing their children also in such a way without educating.	 	So, we planned to run a Creche centre (balwadi ) in this village as a right start for their future endorsement. 
 We have thought that make the changes from beginning will give them drastic change in their lives. The early child hood education is not only give them the education but it is also an art of rearing the children by learning and seeding good habits, morales and positive attitudes, good character and well equipped behavior.The programme is on play way method of education. They can learn rhymns, stories, Numbers, Alphabets and etc.,. Also they will be educated to identify the different colours, names of birds &amp; animals through pictures and their voices. Through by this the children’s mind has been motivated for learning and to get education and also it will create school going habits.We will educate the children along with Milk Provision and Lunch. We also do periodical health checkup once in three month. One Teacher and one care taker will be appointed to run this center effectively. After completion of 5 years, we will mainstream these children in Government school for the continuation of their education.
