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.

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.

“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.

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.

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.

Most of the people with physical disability are being deserted by their families. Due to this, they do not get a proper education, job, livelihood, etc. Most of them beg on the streets for a single meal. So the concern of the organization is to eradicate this situation and support them for a simple livelihood. 
 In this society, the differently-abled are struggling to have a decent livelihood with self-respect. In order to to make this happen we are identifying individuals with physical disability and give them training on how to assemble a cycle or a two-wheeler. After the training, an assembling kit worth Rs. 10,000/- will be given for them to go in the city and start their own business. 
 This sustainable project will enhance the livelihood of the disabled people. They can become self-entrepreneurs and get skilled in this particular field, and hence, earn their chance at a normal life. The number of total beneficiaries for a year shall be around 300.

Skill Training Program on Bicycle Assembling & Servicing

Due to mobility constraints and poverty, hardly 20% of the differently-abled persons get a formal education. The differently-abled are forced to be dependent on family members and have to lead a miserable life. They cannot even dream of dignified living. 
 We have identified ten such not well-educated, differently-abled persons, with an aspiration for a dignified life. We will provide 8 days of fulltime residential training on " cycle repairing" to them. A new cycle will be bought and completely knocked off into components. Then they are trained in assembling the components, rectifying punctures, wheel alignment/positioning etc. They are also trained on moped/scooter puncture remedies.They will also be provided with a basic repair toolkit. They can put a small cycle repair shop in any petrol bunk or on the platform. They can earn Rs. 300 to 500 every day. 
 10 disabled persons shall work at the workshop and will be no more dependent.-They can also support their family with their income. -A liability is now transformed into an asset and pride of the family. - 10 families are now living dignified lives.
