“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.

The hefty cost for cancer treatment is well beyond the reach for poor families that are barely surviving on two square meals a day. Help Nargis Dutt Foundation provide treatment to poor cancer patients and save them from a slow and painful death.Giving hope to cancer patients“I was just 13 when my mother was diagnosed 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.

Dev Pratap and Chandni know what it means to go to bed hungry. They grew up in slums, picking rags and doing odd jobs to survive. There were days when they didn’t know where the next meal would come from. But even then, they chose to share what little they had. With the few rupees they could save, they started feeding children. They worked as waiters in restaurants and took on every possible job to keep their small effort alive.Today, that effort has grown into a full-fledged mission. Their NGO Voice of Slums now feeds over 800 children every single day—365 days a year.They have put together everything from large utensils to a delivery van for distribution, the only challenge they face is to arrange rations in such a large quantity each day. And you can support them in this fight by donating to the cause. Your contribution can feed tens of kids who are in urgent need of nutrition. Donate generously!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)."These children wait for us with plates in hand..."<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/83da1512-1741-44cf-bff2-90e45d1e1275.webp" />In slums, food is not just nourishment, it’s hope. When the Voice of Slums van arrives, children come running with joy.“These children call me didi. When they see a plate full of food, they feel didi is there. She’ll make sure we get a good meal. I can see hope in their eyes.” Chandni says.These are children who have no one to care for them. Many have lost their parents. Others are neglected and forgotten by society. For them, Dev, Chandni, and their team are family—their only source of warmth, nutrition, and safety.A battle against hunger every single dayFeeding 800 children isn’t easy. It takes dedication, organisation, and above all, resources.“We have a full team, an equipped kitchen, and a van for delivery. All we need is rations.”The meals provided aren’t just to fill stomachs, they’re packed with nutrition, designed to help growing children regain strength, energy, and the will to dream again.“At times, I have sleepless nights just thinking how these kids might be surviving. For those who don’t have parents, they are completely dependent upon us. Where will they go?” Dev adds.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/f25b705a-dd73-4ae7-91b5-0bd330008bff.webp" />You can make sure no child sleeps hungryYour donation will help Voice of Slums continue providing hot meals to children who have no one else.

Now they need your support.Voice of Slums doesn’t rely on big grants or government aid. It’s built on the resilience of two young leaders who turned their pain into purpose.

"Girls as young as 14 or 15 become mothers while still children themselves. Small children are forced into labour. It is only through education that things can change," says Asha Bisi, Cluster Manager at Magic Bus India Foundation.In India’s remote and impoverished hamlets and villages, the harsh realities of poverty force countless children into labour or early marriage, robbing them of their chance to dream, learn, and build a better future. Magic Bus is committed to changing this narrative by providing education and opportunities to children who would otherwise be left behind.However, the crucial work done by the NGO depends on public support. Your contribution can be instrumental in changing lives. 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).<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/0e7ae04f-3947-4064-97e0-9514fcb17199.webp" />The endless cycle of povertyChildren are taken to work by their parents, ending any hope of completing their education. Many children face neglect, with parents consumed by substance abuse, leaving them to fend for themselves. As Asha explains, "Bare basics like food, shelter, and clothing are not available. This keeps them away from education."You donations can bring hopeAsha recalls a 7th-grade girl whose parents had arranged her marriage. "She wanted to study but was being forced into child marriage," Asha shares. Magic Bus intervened, rallying the women in the village to stop the wedding. "We told them this girl is a child herself. How can you allow this to happen in your village?" The wedding was canceled, and the girl continued her education.According to Asha, children from villages have a burning desire to study and make a successful life for themselves but very rarely do these dreams come true. "There is a boy in our programme. Despite being alone, he studies, does all the housework, and looks after his younger siblings," Asha recounts. When his parents tried to take him and his siblings to work at a brick kiln, the boy resisted, saying, "I want to study and I want my young siblings to study as well."Why Education MattersEducation is the key to breaking the cycle of generational poverty. Yet, many children remain beyond reach due to lack of resources. "There are still many children in remote villages that we are unable to reach," Asha explains.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/c09b1f42-d4da-4157-a44d-2cbad88750ce.webp" />Your Support Can Transform LivesWithout your help, children who are currently being educated might be forced back into labor or early marriage. "If we don't go to them and show them the way, they might have a bleak future. Their families, their communities will go from bad to worse," Asha warns.But with your support, Magic Bus can:Keep children in school.Prevent child labour and marriage.Provide them with the education they deserve to fulfill their dreams.Join Us in Creating a Brighter FutureYour donation can make all the difference. "We want you to come forward and donate, which will help us reach kids in need and improve their lives," Asha urges.You can ensure that no child is left behind.

Education

Work for Equality is a registered non-profit organization working since 2010 to empower girls from marginalized communities in India. Founded by Prabha Vilas, the first-generation learner from her community, the organization is driven by the belief that every girl deserves education, health, and the chance to lead her own life.Through girls’ clubs, educational support, and community initiatives, we help girls stay in school, challenge gender biases, and build confidence to make their own choices. Our programs address critical issues such as child marriage, school dropouts, gender discrimination, and lack of access to health and hygiene. We promote menstrual hygiene in schools, access to public transport, environmental conservation, and awareness against violence toward women, ensuring girls grow up in safe, supportive communities.During the COVID-19 pandemic, we supported 6,935 people from marginalized communities by providing food, medicine, and awareness, while also helping children continue their education with study materials and classes. For 100 days during the lockdown, we maintained regular contact to support their mental health and even created online books to ensure continued learning.For vulnerable families, especially in tribal areas, we promote kitchen gardens, providing nutritious and healthy food, while helping adolescents continue their education up to Class 12. Life skills and leadership training prepare them for future livelihoods and meaningful participation in society.Over the past 15 years, Work for Equality has empowered 64,854 girls to stay in school, build confidence, and pursue their dreams. With continued support, we aim to reach thousands more girls, protecting them from child marriage, enabling them to exercise their rights, and giving them the tools to create dignified, empowered lives.

🌸 Girl Child Day – A Promise for the Future 🌸 In the villages of Khed and Phaltan, Girl Child Day was celebrated for the very first time 🤝 with the Gram Panchayats. It wasn’t just an event — it was a moment of recognition, respect, and acceptance ❤️. Girls stood tall 🎤, speaking about their right to education 📚, safety 🛡️, and equality ⚖️. Laughter 🎭, music 🎶, and powerful words filled the halls, leaving parents inspired and elders proud. For the Panchayats, it was a lesson 📝: when communities work with girls, they build a stronger, brighter future 🌈. For the girls, it was proof they are seen, valued, and celebrated 💫. This day became a promise 💖 — that girls are here not just to be part of society, but to lead it forward. 🌟

🌟 "When girls rise, communities shine—celebrating their strength, voice, and future." 🌟

She dreams of dancing, laughing, learning, and choosing her own path — yet, in many villages, even these take courage.At Work for Equality, over 5,000 girls across Pune, Satara, and Parbhani are turning courage into change. They’re learning, leading, and rewriting what’s possible for girls everywhere.This International Girl Child Day, we celebrate every girl who dares to dream differently — and everyone who stands beside her.✨ The girl I am, the change I lead. ✨

🌸 💜 “The Girl I Am, The Change I Lead” 💜

When I met Anita, she was only 10 years old.Despite living in extreme poverty — with ill parents, an elderly grandmother, and a disabled uncle — she carried a spark that could light up a room. She worked to support her family but never gave up on learning. She attended our community learning sessions whenever she could. Her words still echo in my mind:💬 “I will study and one day build a house on this footpath.” I helped her get admitted to a hostel, hoping her life would change. But a sudden family crisis displaced them. Without my knowledge, her uncle withdrew her from school. At just 15, she was married to a man twice her age. That moment shook me deeply.It made me question — why are girls like Anita denied the right to dream, to study, to live their childhood? Anita’s story mirrors that of many girls — my mother, aunt, sister, and the friends I grew up with — all victims of child marriage. I couldn’t change their past, but I can fight for the present and future. That’s why I started #DareToStopChildMarriage, a campaign under Work For Equality, to ensure every girl completes her education and chooses her own path in life. 🌸 Together, we can stop child marriage.Your support can help one more girl escape a lifetime of injustice. 💜 Contribute here: https://give.do/fundraisers/help-prabha-end-child-marriagesupport-girls-education-donate-today #DareToStopChildMarriage #WorkForEquality #SocialImpact #GirlsEmpowerment #Leadership #EducationForAll #EndChildMarriage #GenderEquality #NonProfitLeadership #DaanUtsav #JoyOfGivingWeek
