Every day, elderly parents are left alone on the streets, at train stations, or even outside temples. Many are sick, struggling with age-related problems, and have no money or family to turn to. Some suffer for weeks or months before anyone notices their pain. The heartbreaking truth? They were abandoned by their own families.Although Indian law requires children and relatives to care for senior citizens, many elders still face neglect, abuse, and abandonment. The problem is only getting worse.But there is hope. Our dedicated NGO partners work day and night to rescue these forgotten elders. They provide safe shelter, medical care, nutritious meals, and most importantly—love and respect. Through old age homes across the country, our partners give these seniors a chance to live their remaining years with dignity, comfort, and peace.You can make a difference.

Help Disabled Children with Shelter & Care

65-year-old Shakuntala completely depends on our partner NGO, Share and Care, for her food requirements, as she has no one else to take care of her. “When my only child was young, my husband Nadesan died. It was just me and my young son. After my son got married, he left me to stay with his in-laws, and I was alone. I am old, have pain in my legs, knees, shoulders and my entire body so I cannot work as I once did. But the food rations such as the nuts, lentils, wheat flour and rice I receive from Share and Care help me tremendously and I can eat well every day,” she says. Share and Care helps hundreds of abandoned grandparents, most of them being elderly women. The senior citizens belong to tribal communities and have limited access to necessities such as food and medicines to stay alive and well. This Shivratri, you can help with food and other essentials. Support them.

They suffer from hunger, sight and hearing failure, diabetes, high blood pressure and other medical conditions. As they cannot work and support themselves because of old age, they cannot afford medicines or even clothing. So, they remain poor and alone. Share and Care’s mission Since 1984, Share and Care has been caring for disadvantaged groups of people, including elderly parents who have been living in poverty after being abandoned by their children. The founders, a couple named Carmel and Arokiasamy, aim to eliminate poverty and the suffering of the poor through social welfare programs and education. To achieve this mission, Share and Care runs a program in Chennai and also a village in Tiruvallur, where the 400 elderly live. This program ensures that every month, the 400 senior citizens have dry food rations, medicines and medical care, clothes, physiotherapy, geriatric counselling and other services to nurture them back to good physical health. Need for the fundraiserOne of the founders, Carmel Arokiasamy, shares that the abandoned elderly parents who live in extreme poverty without food or anyone to care for them constantly think about their children and ask, “Did we do something wrong?” Arokiasamy shares that from the time their children are born, they take care of them in such a special way. But when their children abandon them, they weep and cannot stop thinking about them. While dealing with this emotional distress, they are also suffering from hunger and disease. But cannot afford food and medicines. Donate now to help Share and Care provide the abandoned elderly with dry food rations, medical supplies, a medical and eye camp, counselling, clothes, blankets and recreational activities to live their lives with a positive outlook, despite their circumstances.Your donation can provide these elderly parents with their most basic and urgent needs. “Please support our work because this is for the elderly parents who are in great need. These grandparents are bedridden. They need care, love and support”.Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest online donation platform, to support Share and Care in their mission to provide food, medicines, counselling and personal care to 400 abandoned grandparents living in poverty.

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>
