“The abusers insert a candle or fingers in the vagina of children torture them. If the children don’t relent even then, the abusers 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 the Society for Participatory Integrated Development (SPID), while talking about many heart-rending stories of trafficked children in red-light areas. In over three decades, the team of SPID led by Lalitha, has saved over 3000 children from the red-light areas in Delhi, such as GB Road, and many from clutches of sex trafficking. While Lalitha has also helped many women escape the clutches of being forced into sex work, the SPID is focused on rescuing children and giving them a better life.Sadly, many more children need to be rescued and need a loving home. SPID needs your support to carry on the mission, to move out of the small shelters that are subject to arbitrary rental increases or landlords’ whims, to permanent locations where she can rescue more children and give them all the love they deserve. Your support will give these children the care and upbringing they need. 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).“I have limited funds and very limited space, and if I had the funds, I would be able to rescue many more children and provide them with more comfort. With folded hands, I plead with you that you help us with funds in large numbers and support us in providing us children with a decent life. Become a part of the mission,” pleads Lalitha. Lalitha plays a vital role in the survival and safety of vulnerable children in the red-light areas.

“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.

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.

Saajha believes in dignity and potential of all parents and works towards building platforms for them to participate in learning of children. Saajha works with parents, primarily mothers, of children studying in government schools, enabling their participation in learning across the four levels of homes, classrooms, schools and communities. We work on instilling confidence in parents, building capabilities of school staff, and work on creating effective processes and systems to facilitate participation. Our work currently impacts about 75 municipal schools in Delhi and about 1,000 schools under the Delhi government through an indirect intervention model.

About 50% of the children studying in government schools in Grade V are not able to read text of Grade II. Inability of parents to participate in learning of children is a major reason for poor learning outcomes of children in government schools. There are three major reasons which prevent the participation of parents: lack of confidence in parents, inability of teachers and principals to listen and respond to the parents’ desire to participate in learning, and lack of effective systems and processes which can facilitate participation. More than 90% of the slum children attended government schools in Delhi. The urban slums in Delhi are marked by poor learning outcomes, with an average 7 years of schooling in the age-group of 15+ years and income only a fraction of the state average. Thus, the parents of the children often belong to the marginalised and economically weaker sections of the society. 
 Saajha believes in the potential of all parents, and builds platforms for them to participate in the learning process of their children. The interventions focus on enabling participation in four key areas, namely, home, classroom, school and community. The interventions at home focus on enabling parents, especially mothers, to participate in learning through home-based activities and homework. In classrooms, the focus is on workshops for teachers and assessment of learning. At school level, we enable the parents and the school-staff to jointly prepare a school vision plan and monitor the implementation. At the community level, the focus is on community participation and peer learning. We deploy a four-pronged approach for the delivery of the program – 1.	Building capabilities and confidence of parents to enable them to participate in learning2.	Building capabilities of the school staff to enable them to listen and respond to parents’ need for participation3.	Building effective systems and processes to facilitate parental participation4.	Collating necessary school level data for parents and teachers to collaborate and aid in decision making. For the interventions, we leverage School Management Committees (SMCs) which are mandatory bodies comprising of elected teachers, parents and community members. This makes it a potentially transformational force capable of facilitating parental participation in learning. 
 Saajha measures its impact in two major areas – ability of parents to participate in learning, and improvement in reading capabilities of children. The first is measured through a growth rubric comprising of 60 indicators focusing on parental participation. These indicators cover frequency and quality of parent teacher meeting, implementation of annual plans, frequency of joint audits and community participation in learning. The reading level is measured through standard ASER tools which divide a child's learning capabilities into one of six categories, based on the ability to read a letter, word, paragraph, sentence and story. Over the past three years, we have internally collated and analyzed data around our impact. About 96% of the schools we directly work with have now started recording minutes of parent teacher meetings, and 60% have started preparing data based annual plans. Communities have started participating in learning in 72% of the schools, while 60% of the schools analyse data from joint audit of learning. For reading level, an additional 15% of the children in Grade III, IV and V were able to read texts of Grade II competency as measured in our joint audit of learning.
