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.

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.

“They insert a candle in the vagina, fingers are inserted (in the vagina) and tortured, and if children don’t relent even then, they 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 Society for Participatory Integrated Development (SPID), in course of talking about many heart-rending stories of trafficked children in red-light areas.In over three decades, the SPID led by Lalitha, has saved over 3000 children from the red-light areas, many from clutches of sex trafficking.Sadly, many more children need to be rescued and in need of a loving home.

Shikshan Ane Samaj Kalyan Kendra was established in 1980 by a group of young, dedicated volunteers to check the prevailing conditions. At that time, people were migrating to other places as agriculture was the main occupation, and water was scarce due to drought. People were illiterate, and their economic condition was poor. Thus, to check migration, the organisation was founded to provide alternative choices of livelihood. Since its inception, the organisation has been working for the betterment of people's status.For the last nine years, we have been training farmers for sustainable livelihoods. We started with 3000 farmers and have reached 22500.

As we know that the education system is damaged due to migrated families. Most children whose parents migrate regularly, again and again, suffer from poor formal education. To reach out to these families Government started so many programmes. The importance of education should be everywhere but migration is one of the factors, which reduces the effectiveness of government programmes for education. The migrant child has the right to develop but due to specific reasons, they are always left. The Supreme Court has recognized the education of children in the 6 - 14 years age group as a Fundamental Right which cannot wait. The efforts to provide access to out-of-school children and ensure their regular participation and completion of primary/elementary level of education with satisfactory levels of learning have to form a part of the overall efforts for achievement. 
 Shikshan Ane Samaj Kalyan Kendra has been working in the field of education since its inception and facilitated several programmes that are promoting education in its field areas. We will spread awareness in the community about RTE Act-2009 and its provision for their children. We will encourage them to participate in the educational development of their village. With extra classes, we will provide basic education to those children who are slow learners or may be behind in the syllabus because of migration. We plan to run Learning Enrichment Program (LEP) for 3rd to 5th class students in 5 villages. We will also reach 6th to 8th class students through our LRC (Learning Resource Centre) programme in 5 villages. We shall improve the quality of education in the other 15 villages through our ‘VIDHYA’ educational program. All other supportive activities like Balmela, SDP and others will run accordingly as per planning. Second Part consist Strengthening of the Community. We will build the capacity of the School Management Community in all our program areas. We will also provide guidance and support to SMC to provide migration certificates to outward migrating children and ensure admission to inward migrating children. 
 Reduce the extent of children migration and ensure that all children of age group 6-14 years attend school for the entire academic year.Create an environment in the area that promotes education and encourages children to continue schooling.Strengthen school governance through community-led solutions, particularly within the provisions of the RTE Act.Improve the learning levels of the children to bring them to their grade level.Ignite and develop the orientation for scientific education in children for promoting innovation in school education.Reduce the school dropout rate among girl students in the villages.

Improving quality of education

In India, there are approximately 230 million boys under the age of 18. We estimate that as adults: 1. 57% justify violence against women 2. 50% will or are likely to use physical violence 3. Such gender based violence also sits at the root of key social issues including education, sanitation, sexual and reproductive health, child marriage and trafficking. Many more men and boys will perpetrate more subtle forms of violence, including financial, emotional and verbal violence. Discrimination and violence against women and girls is universally accepted as a pressing global issue. Achieving gender equality and preventing violence are common goals in this respect; and the empowerment of women and adolescent girls are common approaches to achieving these goals. And yet this narrative excludes one key demographic and their role in the problem. That is the attitudes and behaviours of men and boys that discriminate against women and girls. This gap prevents key stakeholders who are committed to solving the problem from tackling this root cause of violence and discrimination against women, and therefore current efforts are not sustainable nor complete.We propose raising boys to be gender equitable as one the solutions towards preventing gender-based violence and discrimination. 
 SSKK is works to develop a scalable model for engaging boys to prevent violence and discrimination against women and girls. Our primarily focuses on boys in the age group of 13-17 years. It provides boys with knowledge, skills, leadership, peer support to challenge existing gender norms. The programme operates to ensure that just like boys and men, women and girls are free from gender based violence and feel safe from the threat of such violence. The program is facilitated by mentors who are trained to create safe and positive training spaces in which adolescent boys feel supported to learn about and debate issues in their community. Mentors deliver unique training where adolescent boys uncover how gender norms influence and shape specific role division and power relations in their lives. Boys concurrently go through a participatory process to reflect on their own attitudes and behaviour and to become agents of change in their environment. Program ensures boys don’t simply study equality, but that they experience it. One of the key aspects of the programme is at the end of each cycle, boys take collective actions to support women and girls in their community. programme has three parts - Foundation, Action, Leadership  
 To develop community leaders who are able to raise awareness in the community of the gender norms linked to violence against women and girls.To develop community leaders who are able to influence others to identify gender norms linked to violence against women and girlsTo develop as community facilitators who are able to mobilise others to challenge gender norms linked to violence against women and girls
