“My 8-year-old son was diagnosed with cancer and it left the entire family devastated. I was told the cost of treatment would run into lakhs. I was barely managing to make ends meet and there was nothing I could do to save Swaroop. But the Nargis Dutt Foundation stepped in and took care of all the expenses. I can’t even imagine the consequences had they not been there for my son,,” says teary-eyed Devendra.The helplessness that Devendra felt is not uncommon among low-income families of cancer patients. There are many who helplessly see their dear ones, including children, lose their life in the most painful manner. Nargis Dutt Foundation has ensured that thousands of families don’t see this fate. It’s been a ray of hope for thousands of cancer patients since its inception over 40 years back. You can help save many more patients with cancer.

When I saw my mother struggling for life it left a lifelong impact on me. Her condition had deteriorated to such an extent she was almost unrecognisable. I know how it feels like to lose a loved one to cancer and I am not alone in my grief. There are thousands of people struggling to save their family members,” says Priya, daughter of noted actress Nargis Dutt, who lost her life to cancer, and in whose name the NGO has been founded. Priya has made it her life’s mission to save as many cancer patients as she can, but she can not do it alone. Nargis Dutt Foundation needs your support. Your donation can not only save cancer patients but can give life to entire families.Need for the fundraiserCancer is often seen as a death sentence. But doctors say that if detected early and if a patient receives essential treatment, the illness can be defeated and the person can return to their lives. “Treatment of cancer often depends on multiple factors including the type of cancer and the stage in which it is detected. Some patients require surgery while some can be cured with just chemotherapy or immunotherapy. “Whatever may be the need, our nonprofit supports patients till the time they are cancer free. We not only take care of the cost of treatment but even assist patients with nutrition which is vital in the fight against cancer. Moreover, we ensure that family members who are already facing immense hardships get proper accommodation and food during treatment so they don’t suffer any further,” says the NGO leader. With your support, Nargis Dutt Foundation can help patients win the fight against cancer and save their families from grief of losing a loved one.Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest and most trusted fundraising platform, to support Nargis Dutt Foundation in their mission to give life-saving chemotherapy and care to cancer patients who can not afford treatment.

“The Hummingbird School is my only hope to succeed in life. I feel I am trying to swim out of this place (Majuli) and my school stands as a beacon on the other side of the river. If my school closes down, I feel I will drown in this river. Not just me but every child in villages around here and our families depend on this school”, says Roopjyoti, a bright, young student of Ayang Trust’s The Hummingbird School.Majuli Island, where The Hummingbird School is situated is shrinking rapidly, leaving a majority of its residents struggling to survive. For the children of this impoverished tribal community, education remains the only way out of suffering.Your support to Ayang Trust’s Hummingbird School can ensure that its students can have a future different from their parents who are struggling to get even two meals a day. Donate now.Donate 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).From IIT Kharagpur to Majuli“When I first visited the remote villages of Majuli I was shocked. The extent of the struggles here was beyond my imagination. These villages had no connectivity to the outside world, no healthcare, no education, there was absolutely nothing”, says Bipin Dhane founder of the school. Bipin, who grew up in the small town of Satara in Maharashtra, faced countless financial hardships. Despite his struggles, Bipin secured admission to the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, and then went on to take up a job in Singapore. Owing to his childhood experiences Bipin was always inclined towards helping the less fortunate, and he believed in the transformative power of education. It was in 2016 that Bipin left his lucrative career abroad and moved to Majuli, to provide the children from this inaccessible river island education they were deprived of.“Whatever little money I had saved, I gave it to my parents. I had no money to start the school. It was then that villagers came together to build bamboo huts. Each family donated bamboo, wood, and whatever little they could. It was the parents of our students who erected huts for the school to start”, shares Bipin while talking about the inception of The Hummingbird School in 2017.Help Bipin save underprivileged children of Majuli Island from generational poverty and give them a chance to succeed. Donate now.Donate to save future generations“People of the island value education greatly because they know that their children have no future without it. Parents have vested their faith in The Humming Bird School because they don't want their children to suffer the way they have been”, says Bipin. Bipin says, “Today we have over 280 students in our school and about 90 children live in our hostel. Many of these children are orphaned and have no means of survival. I urge each one of you to come forward and donate to us so we can help hundreds of children escape from the cycle of poverty.”Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to help children of Majuli Island get an education and break the cycle of poverty.

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. Donate now.Deshmane, who has faced the perils of farmer distress firsthand, has made it his life’s mission to come to the aid of children affected by farmer suicides.

During a visit to his village in 2015, he was overwhelmed seeing the orphans of farmer suicides starving, and decided to take 18 children into his care.“I just could not remain a mute spectator while children starved in drought-struck villages. I had to do something” says Ashok, and Snehwan was conceived in 2015. Swami Vivekanand Dnyanalay, a ray of hopeAshok says that his responsibility is not merely to provide food and shelter to children but to provide them with holistic development. He aspires to raise them as socially aware, skilled, and responsible citizens of the country who can then carry his work forward.The shelter home which started with 18 kids is now a ray of hope for more than 50 children who call it home. Situated in a village near Pune, the Swami Vivekanand Dnyanalay not only provides food, shelter, and quality education to these kids but gives them a family. Ashok and Archana’s plea“Drought and climate change is worsening and we are in urgent need of funds to extend our efforts and expand the shelter home to bring in 200 more children under our protective wings.

India has experienced tremendous growth in its capacity to produce health workers. However, the country still encounters challenges in terms of availability of human resources for health.The human resources for health, especially nurses, constitute an important part of health systems. It is difficult to ascertain comprehensive information on the availability of health workers globally due to irregular reporting of data from the countries. However, experts have proposed minimum thresholds for achieving certain health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). These thresholds have been used as yardsticks by others for determining human resources for health shortages in their nations.As per the minimum threshold developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), not enough health workers are available in India. The nurse to population ratio in India is even lower than some of the other developing countries in Asia.Even before the onset of the pandemic, India was suffering from a shortage of 2 million nurses (WHO, 2019). The nurse to patient ratio for India is only 1:483, i.e. 2.1 nurses per 1000 population. Countries with a much higher nurse: population ratio such as Italy (5.8) and USA (8.5) are facing dire shortages of nursing staff, especially since nurses are the most vulnerable, given their direct exposure to patients. India has 1.7 nurses per 1,000 population, 43% less than the World Health Organization norm (3 per 1,000). This includes nurses, midwives, women health visitors and auxiliary nurse midwives. Overall, India has 3.07 million registered nursing personnel. (government mentioned to the Rajya Sabha on March 3, 2020.)We at WIT addressing this societal issue by educating and providing employability to unskilled and economically disadvantaged girls and women. At WIT, we believe that educating a woman truly goes a long way in empowering a family, and each of our girls is a standing testament to this. 
 WIT’s mission is to help women to help themselves by providing a platform for advancement and empowerment to unskilled and less privileged girls and women. WIT provides easy access to education, vocational skills training and livelihood opportunities.The focus on nursing education is particularly relevant, as India moves closer to becoming the most populous country in the next decade. With this in mind, the nurses are being provided training that will qualify them to work in a field with many opportunities for employment and potential long -term job securityIn keeping with the objective of providing education and livelihood for the less privileged, the following educational programmes are being conducted. At WIT, education and training to the girls and women are imparted at a heavily subsidized rate. The WIT Nursing School was established in the year 1983 on the WIT Campus to equip girls with certified educational qualifications and to meet the need for trained medical nurses. The Nursing School is an educational institute with strength. It adds value to the communities they live in and gives students access to an exceptional pool of knowledge, experience and qualification. The Nursing School runs four programs:1. Two-year Auxillary Nursing and Midwifery Diploma and2. One-year Paramedical Nursing Care Course.3. Six- Months course in Stoma Care (Value addition course)4. Computer Training and English Speaking for our Nursing studentsLearning English and Computer training has become essential for every educated person. English and Technology in India plays an important role in education, particularly in Health where the instructions are mentioned in English. An adequate command of English is also necessary for getting a good job in the health sector. In view of all these factors, the need for being fluent in English on the part of our needy students is really an asset, when they are to join the mainstream. Thus, an adequate command of English and technology know-how on the part of our students will raise their social status. It will act as an agent of status equalisation for them. 
 The confidence level of the girls will improve with liquid money in hand. The image of the girls will improve in family and society. There will be no need for them to be dependents when they get married. Our 60 students will set examples for other girls.These are just some of the positive impacts that educating girls and women can have on both women and their communities, and here at WIT we believe that we must educate girls and women. This can be achieved by the support of the donor who believe in ‘Giving Back’ to the communities in need. With your donation, we will able distribute books, uniforms and food to the students.WIT is a reputed and award-winning NGO with its credibility consistently assured by Credibility Alliance,and Guidestar India.Let’s Support Jiviksha and follow our passion.
