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.

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.

Hunger and malnutrition have become a reality for thousands of elderly parents abandoned by their own children, in villages and slums across India.

We have seen people picking food from the garbage out of extreme hunger.”, recalls Ayesha of Mitti Cafe, while talking about the extent of hunger faced by senior citizens. According to Ayesha, there are thousands of elderly who have been either chucked out of their homes or have been left behind in villages by their children. “Our elderly don't deserve this life and it is our responsibility to come to their aid.

They have also distributed over 1 lakh packets of dry rations. ”They overlook their own struggles and suffering just to reach the elderly and provide them with the food they need,” says Ayesh.

But with your support, we can collectively end starvation,” she says.

“A blind child is seen as a curse or as a burden to the family. These children are left on the street. I have picked up children from roadsides myself. I also lost my eyesight as a child but today I am a senior officer in a public sector company. What would I have done, had I not been taken care of?” asks Veena Mehta Verma who was once a beneficiary of National Association for the Blind, Delhi (NAB) and now works with the NGO to protect and care for blind children like herself.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/1c273b6d-eee3-4799-98aa-74efcde92177.webp" />Today, hundreds of blind children supported by NAB, Delhi have found something that they never had before–hope for a better tomorrow. Without Veena and NAB, many of these children would be at the risk of going back to the streets or spend a life of neglect and even abuse. Your support to the NGO is crucial. This Christmas, you can help her children get warm clothes and other essentials. Donate generouslyDonate 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).A life of uncertainty &amp; sufferingEven if a blind child is not abandoned they are often trapped in their homes deprived of education or any way of making a living. According to the nonprofit leader, “For a blind kid, employment is impossible without education. The (blind) kids need to learn Braille or they need ‘talking computer’ aids. Many of these kids are deprived of such facilities”.  <img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/7bfa3cb2-b09d-4518-862f-a0bbf653cbe8.webp" />Illuminating young lives “At NAB Delhi there are around 200-250 blind kids. There are around 180 kids in the hostel of NAB. We teach Braille, we teach arithmetic Taylor frames. To work towards a brighter future for the blind, we need your support. Please come forward and donate towards our mission”, says Veena. Students for whom NAB Delhi has cared for are today placed in some of the most prestigious organisations across the world. While some have gone on to make a name for themselves in the corporate world, others have taken up art and music as a profession too. Many blind children are bright, academically gifted, and waiting to shine, all they need is an opportunity.

Students from urban slums do not have the conducive atmosphere to study. We are running 70 Community Learning Centers in urban slums of Pune &amp; Mumbai City. 
 Samutkarsha is overall development of children by establishing and running a center called as CLC in the seva wasti. Seva Sahayog Foundation, at each CLC is engaged in providing long-term benefits such as education, health, cleanliness and self-dependence. Boys and girls gather at the CLC after their routine school. Apart from school curriculum, other subjects like general knowledge and personality development are taught to these students. We have observed that this generates positive attitude as well as increased self-confidence among participants. This activity has substantially reduced school dropouts. 
 Continuation of the education. Reduce dropout.

Menstruation is a commonly seen natural problem in each house, but never talked openly due to lack of knowledge or some kind of awkwardness. In under developed communities or in vastis women even don’t get sanitary pads properly. They don’t know how to dispose the things etc. 
 To overcome this problem Seva Sahayog started a project URMI, which tried to provide a proper information and been a source to women and young girls. Through this programme we arranged different workshops in schools and under privileged communities for girls and women. URMI also provides sanitary pads and reusable cloth pads at very affordable price. Since 2018 Project Urmi has provided more than 2,63,500 sanitary napkins to around 11000 women and girls, through 113+ awareness sessions all over Pune. URMI also takes workshop on how to make Red-Dot Bags to avoid improper disposal of pads. 
 URMI has impacted the lives of thousands of women, and would like to spread its reach all over Maharashtra. Now all the women try to maintain their surroundings clean and healthy.

URMI – ALL ABOUT MENSTRUATION

India is a fastest growing economy. And youngsters are getting opportunities in different industries from manufacturing, software, service industries etc. To grab these opportunities there is a need of key factor “Education”. But still many youngsters from rural area or underprivileged communities are unable to afford education as it is much expensive or out of reach. Some parents are unaware of the importance of education. 
 There are many students from this community who have fervency towards education. To support these students Seva Sahayog Foundation started a project named as” Shiksha Sahayog”. The main aim of this project is to support students from financially weaker section of society. We assess the student and provide them funds for their course. We guide the students under this program in choosing the correct course. 
 By taking advantage of this program students can pay their fees. There are so many students who took advantage of this program and completed their graduation, post-   graduation and vocational courses as well and became self-sufficient, to suport their families. Near about 500+ students took the advantage of this program.
