"My son used to kick me when he was in my womb. Why make an issue when he kicked me in my old age?" reasons a very forgiving Shakti Dasi. The widow travelled 2300 kms from Tripura to Vrindavan after her only son violently beat her with a burning plank of wood and broke her knee one evening. She had to leave behind the business she had built with her husband who had died a few years back. Shakti ended up on the streets of Brindavan begging for food and shelter. But when Winnie Singh of Maitri saw Shakti in a frail state in tattered clothes, she brought her to the shelter home where Shakti gets food, care and medicines. What more, with Maitri’s intervention, Shakti reconciled with her son - and daughter-in-law, and now travels home to Tripura twice a year to spend time with her grandchildren. But she is not leaving Maitri, as this has become her family.Not every elderly widow who comes to Vrindavan after being abandoned by her family gets as lucky as Shakti. Many of them often end up living a lonely life and begging to survive on the streets. Maitri aspires to take care of every widow in need of help.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/ce101369-528c-4d37-bc1d-1118b9925af3.jpg" />Maitri’s Project Jeevan to the rescueAbandoned, elderly widows are the amongst the most vulnerable in India. After being thrown out of their often abandoned by their own children and are forced to beg for food and shelter. “Through Project Jeevan, Maitri houses aging widow mothers in two ashrams in Vrindavan and Radhakund (Mathura), providing them with wellness and well-being. The programme also reaches out to widow mothers beyond the ashrams with fruit, milk and healthcare services,” explains Winnie Singh, co-founder and executive director, Maitri India.Save homeless elderly widows from begging on the streetsMost widows who make their way to Vrindavan are abandoned by their families, often after years of abuse. They come here hoping they will spend the rest of their days in prayer and devotion. But most live in impoverished conditions on the streets and in dingy rooms. Since poor living conditions often cause a wide range of health ailments, including respiratory infections and chronic conditions, Maitri comes to their rescue through its Project Jeevan.The project aims to:<ul><li>Provide meals leading to improved health and wellbeing</li><li>Make physical and mental health services accessible</li><li>Offer necessary quality aged care and assisted living support</li><li>Increase awareness on and engagement around the struggles of abandoned widow mothers</li></ul><img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/1abfb906-563b-4747-85b8-8af2071a2856.jpg" />Project Jeevan needs your support to help those in need of food, healthcare and well-being. Donate now.“Maitri urgently needs your support to provide food, clothing and healthcare to sustain these widow mothers who are prone to more illnesses as they age,” appeals Winnie.Maitri believes in a woman’s right to dignity in life and death, more so a mother. Our help will enable Maitri to save hundreds of abandoned widows from a life of begging, and restore the respect, dignity, and identity they deserve.

Save abandoned, elderly widow mothers of Vrindavan from begging on streets

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. But Lalitha needs our support to carry on the mission, to move out of her small facility so that she can rescue more children, house them in a permanent location and give them all the love they deserve.

Imagine, who paid your college fees? Parents, right?Now imagine, who will pay the college fees for students who are parentless and single parented? Many students drop formal education once they finish their school education. They do not join a college due to lack of funds. One of the surveys says that less than 10% of the population in India become graduates. Hence, there is a serious need to help students to become graduates. 
 'I am the Change Scholarship' is a program for 12th pass students from govt Schools in Chennai who are parentless, single-parented, academically strong and financially weak to do their UG degree.Apart from sponsoring their UG degree, we also conduct free employability training program on weekends for all our sponsored students through our 'First Penguin Club' initiative. The students undergo 100 hours of training every year from the first year of their UG degree.During their final year, we also provide them job placement specific training and expose them to various job opportunities.Students are not just beneficiaries. We at Team Everest believe that they are 'change agents' too. Hence, every student who receives the scholarship will also commit to certain number of volunteering hours each month to make a difference in the community they live in. 
 100 parentless &amp; single-parented students will become graduates and will help them find a job for themselves. This will help them and their family in overcoming poverty and living a better lifestyle.

I am the Change Scholarship

Education is just a dream for many children in our country. Statistics say that in India today, only 10% of our children go on to complete graduation. We, Team Everest, believe that education is the only sustainable solution to overcome poverty. 
 Education has the potential to change an individual, a family, and an entire generation. Nothing else in this world has the potential to impact an entire generation. That's why Team Everest calls 'Education' as 'A Powerful Magic'. We wish to gift this Magic to all Children in this world through our various Educational activities. 
 Team Everest has touched the lives of more than 50,000 Children every year through various initiatives. The programs include Scholarship for school and college students, School adoption programs, Rural scholarships, Digital literacy programs and many more.

Be the Change

Blackboards are an essential part of every classroom. But in many schools, they are not maintained properly, making it difficult for students to read from the board. Team Everest gets frequent requests from various schools every year to paint their school blackboards. 
 Team Everest is going to paint 2000 blackboards which will help 1,00,000+ students to have a better blackboard and a better learning environment. 
 Improving the condition of blackboards can help teachers to create a better learning experience in schools. We will be painting 2000 blackboards, an action which shall positively impact 1,00,000 students.

'B' for Blackboard

Many students, especially parentless, single parented and financially poor students dropout after 12th grade without joining the college as they do not have enough money to pay fees. 
 We identify such children and sponsor them for their graduation as part of their 'I am the Change' Scholarship program. 
 <ol><li>Till date, 850 students are sponsored for their college education.</li><li>82% of our scholars are girls.</li><li>They study in 220 different college doing various courses in Arts &amp; Science, Engineering, Medicine, Architecture and Law.</li></ol>
