Children

Ashok Deshmane

<ul><li>The ever-increasing global warming, natural calamities such as droughts and floods are making our farmers’ lives extremely miserable. The hope against hope for a long time has led to dire desperation, resulting in increased deaths of these food, health and nutrition-givers.</li><li>Does this story end here, i.e. with the suicide? What about the families and children the farmers leave behind? They are left to struggle in the darkness, having no hope of a good life or a future! Don’t these kids deserve love, care, and safety? Don’t they have the right to decent education and a normal life?</li><li>Climate change is real, and its effects across the globe are evident. While scientists are looking for ways to minimize the damage, severe drought in Marathwada and Vidarbha regions in Maharashtra, and has affected 90 lakh farmers after a drought was declared in the state in more than 29,000 villages.</li><li>While several public figures and activists have cranked up their philanthropic activities to prevent farmer suicides and create amenities to fix the problem on hand, there’s someone who’s been working silently looking for opportunities to brighten the future of the community of farmers.</li></ul> 
 <ul><li>Snehwan (meaning "Forest of love")is a non-profit organization based near Pune, Maharashtra, India founded by Ashok Deshmane in December 2015. Our aim is to create a nurturing and inclusive learning environment for the less fortunate children of farmers and poor families. Snehwan is a movement for those children who are deprived of learning due to adverse situations and surroundings. We believe education is a gift of life; it is the only way to improve the life of underprivileged children, forever. Along with quality education and schooling, we guide and prepare these children for competitive exams. We ensure they trot on right path, know their rights and responsibilities, seek opportunities, fight injustice and also, develop leadership qualities. We, at Snehwan, think they deserve everything as much as every other child!</li><li>Today, Snehwan supports over 180 children belonging to low-income farmer families, adiwashi families and garbage workers. We run shelter for 50 children and along with accommodation, food, education and heath care of all children. We want the next generation of farmers to do something substantial in the near future, it is necessary to educate them. And just basic education is not enough, we are teaching them various subjects like computer science, music, dance, painting, etc. We believe It is required that children are taught according to their talents.</li><li>We are working in Snehwan to heal the scars of the trauma of losing loved ones and the physical effects of extreme poverty. Alongside, attempts to get them into mainstream society are on-going. However, we propose to help these children realize their full potential and dreams by supporting higher education and providing professional training. But that is for the future. Today is for healing, caring, educating and nurturing.</li></ul> 
 <ul><li>We wish to establish a formal open educational school to teach farming and the technicalities and the science involved. The farmers of today learnt all of this traditionally. We believe that once the children are given knowledge of agriculture and farming formally, they would want to pursue this as a profession and not just follow a tradition by force.</li><li>We also want to increase the size of children and support their family by bringing them in main stream of education. Having seen the same poverty they have, we want them to learn more and most of all, become better human beings. We don’t want to create more Job seekers in society, we want to create Job Creator. We are working on to build the future of India, as we are working for farmer’s children.</li><li>We have started to teach them Agriculture based food processing business from the childhood. So that they can use their education to start their own start-up to support the small village farmers. We have children from 6 districts and 20 villages of Maharashtra in Snehwan. It will help to create the employment and to help the farmers in India.</li><li>In first phase we going to teach them Dairy farming, Preparing Tomato Sauce, Various Masala, Oil, Turmeric Powder, Papad Industry Etc. We need support to setup the machines and all. We have already started Gaushala to teach Organic farming, composting and milk product to children.  </li></ul>

Time stood still for 12-year-old Shrikant when he got the news that his father, a debt-ridden farmer from Beed, had taken his own life. Shrikant’s village was one of the worst hit areas during devastating drought in 2015 and his mother, a daily wage labourer, was finding it hard to feed the family of three. The family was penniless and could not feed itself, and debtors were knocking on the doors. Had it not been for Ashok Deshmane and Snehwan, Shrikant would have slipped into the bottomless pit of child labour.Deshmane needs your help to rescue the children of drought-hit farmers taking their own lives.

Snehwan image update

It is difficult to imagine the plight of young children whose parents perform the unthinkable. A parent is supposed to be a caretaker, disciplinarian, and provider for their child; to the maximum of their abilities and for as long as they are able. But what happens when a child loses their parent, that too in the worst way imaginable? 8-year old Saisha (name changed) knows the answer to that question all too well. Not only was she forced to live through the suicide of her father, but she also had to stop going to school to pick up work as a laborer on a farm just to support her family and pay off her father's debts. In 2023, Saisha was rescued and adopted by Snehwan, who provided her with a loving home. She flourishes in academics, yoga, computer science, and music, and dreams of one day being a successful IT professional. Saisha is a remarkable student who now pursues the second standard. Snehwan has gifted her the opportunity to improve her station in life and create a better future for herself. Just like Saisha, Snehwan has rescued lots of children who would have otherwise suffered severe hardship. It is only through our efforts and our generous donors' backing that we can rescue these children and provide a better life for them. We need to funds to build a new hostel capable of fulfilling the needs of over 100 children and give them the space and resources to mature. Donate now to contribute to a better future and help save more children from a devastating fate.

Beneficiaries are selected based on specific criteria, including an annual family income of less than one lakh rupees. The project offers comprehensive support from the age of 6 to 18+, encompassing education, health, medical care, and livelihood assistance. Snehwan distinguishes itself through sustainable practices, utilizing solar-powered facilities, implementing rainwater harvesting, and converting cow dung into gas. Furthermore, the administration, finance, and operations are efficiently managed by senior beneficiaries. The project boasts a range of facilities, including a library, science lab, and livelihood skills training center, with dedicated teachers providing extra instruction to the children after regular school hours. During our visit, 1st-year BCA students expressed their satisfaction, characterizing Snehwan as a "family away from family." Snehwan is currently in the process of constructing a new hostel for boys and an upcoming one for girls. The smiles on the faces of the individuals at Snehwan are a testament to the power of your giving spirit. Your impact is truly heartwarming! 😊💕
