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.

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.

“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.

Access to health services becomes more difficult in tribal areas as the roads are poor or nonexistent. There is a lack of public/private transport and ambulance services and, additionally, the telephone network does not reach many areas reliably. Language/social barriers and the lack of access to money etc.To start with we focus on the following:<ol><li>Cataract surgeries</li><li>Diabetic</li></ol> 
 We have identified 2200 tribal as well as most marginalized elderly who are suffering from cataract for years. We are organizing weekly eye surgery camps with 5 ophthalmologists in Kathikund, Dumka and Nala, Jamtara. We have started surgeries but our funds won't last more, we can serve up to 300 patients. One surgery costs us around 4200 INR around 60 USD. 
 We will be able to bring lights in the eyes of these thousands of people who have already lost their hope of seeing again. It will give them vision, new energy in their life.

Lets bring Vision back in the eyes of needy

Climate Change resilience, declining green coverage, loss of resources and community livelihood along with well being of masses,

Supporting students coming from economically marginalized section of society&amp; studying at different public school in Patna. Disparity in access to a structured and a high quality, well-rounded educational system is one of the major hindrances that India as a country faces. Bihar in particular, has lagged in education outcomes for years. Numerous issues like lack of awareness, clarity regarding the 12(1)(c)[1] implementation, public-private sector loggerheads etc. have only worsened the scenario of access to education in the state.To improve the present situation, Sanmat conducted a massive 100 day enrolment drive in Patna district starting January 2018. The city for the first time witnessed a campaign of such rigor focused on clause 12(1)(c) of the RTE Act with few milestones achieved viz. a) approx. 20000 application forms collected, b) a cohort of more than 150 volunteers mobilized from various academic institutions of the state, c) formation of RTE Alliance - a network of more than 100 small youth lead organizations, d) collaboration and advocacy with policy makers (Road and transport Minister-GoB, Mayor-Patna City, ward councilors), relevant government departments/district level officials (District Magistrate, DEO, BEOs, CDPOs, AWWs etc.), academic institutions (AN Sinha Institute, CIMP, IIBM, Patna university), the association of the private schools and print and electronic media houses, e) a number of meetings organized by the district magistrate with principals/directors of more than 150 private schools and BEOs to strictly ensure implementation of the clause.As a result of the efforts briefed above, a total of 6500 children got enrolled into the private schools of Patna district itself, as against the state total of just 1400 enrolled last year under the said clause. The next immediate challenge is to keep up the retention rate of these kids.   [1] Clause 12(1)(c) of the RTE Act mandates all private unaided schools in the country to reserve 25% of their entry level class seats for students from economically weaker sections (EWS) and disadvantage groups (DG) and to provide free and compulsory education till class VIII. 
 The Post Enrolment Plan A majority of school children in the slums of Patna come from homes where the parents are illiterate. Working in informal jobs, such as construction and domestic works, street vending and the likes, children from these homes rarely go on to complete primary education and often fail to continue their school even after getting admitted under RTE Act. This leads to their dropping out of the education system and one of the main reasons is their difficulty in coping with the curriculum. Children coming from families with lower socio-economic &amp; educational background often find it difficult to understand what is taught in the schools. Some parents send their children to tuition classes while some cannot afford to do so. When the child repeatedly fails in examinations, the parents pull out the child from school assuming them to have low intellectual capacity. In some cases academically sound children have poor study habits due to peer group influence, while others drop out or miss school due to the migratory nature of their parent’s work. Lacking parental guidance, these children often end up doing the same insecure work that their parents do, perpetuating the cycle of poverty. To address these issues Sanmat proposes to establish tuition centres which would aim at providing an opportunity to bridge the gap and develop a habit of regular studies amongst the children. Having served in the domain of education for several years, we propose to establish 70 after school tuition centres which will accommodate more than 6500 children. Sanmat has monitored and run mobile schools for school dropouts in past as well and currently 5 such centres in 5 slums continue to run with 150 kids. Since the number at present has risen to approx. 6500, no less than 70 tuition centres would serve the purpose. Kids aged between 3-7 years will be supported through a two hour engagement after school, 5 days a week. The centers will perform following functions: a)      Help the kids complete their homework assigned by the respective schoolsb)     Orient the kids on basic life skill components - negotiation, communication, stress management etc.c)      Collect and address grievances of children or their parents d)     Act as a vital link between schools, kids and their families in keeping the children in the education system, enabling them to transform their future. These centers will be located within the respective slums and teachers will be mapped from nearby private schools. Interested senior citizens and self-motivated youth too will be considered for helping out the children. All the recruits/teachers/volunteers will be trained on pedagogy and others by organizations like Pratham on a regular basis.   Our campaign have been supported by District Administration of Patna, District education Office, Sarv Shiksha Abhiyan office team, Magic Bus, Pratham, Indus Action, RTE Alliance Bihar, TRY and 60 other youth lead CBOs/NGOs and Civil Society organizations.  
 With the aim of ensuring academic and social integration of children from socio-economically disadvantaged communities in unaided private schools. While immediate support to Enrolment of children is the key objective of this initiative. In the long run, this project aimed to create wider acceptance, among all stakeholders et. the schools, local community, Parents, Children and policymakers/Govt. in holistic systematic manner. It would require sustained efforts on the part of school management, principals, teachers and parents, government, Civil society organizations, volunteers, community seniors to ensure that integrative and inclusive approach becomes a part of routine discourse within our schools. <ol><li>Ensuring academic inclusion of students and parents of economically weaker sections;</li><li>Increasing social inclusion of children;</li><li>Developing a compendium of best practices that can be used to advocate among various stakeholders;</li><li>Impact Assessment of the project to continuously assess the approach.</li><li>Connecting local community with school Teachers</li><li>Bringing examples from community</li><li>Rapport building between existing students and prospective students</li><li>Post admission/enrolment home work support centre</li></ol>
