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.

The Guru Vishram Vridh Ashram has a dedicated rescue team that saves the elderly from the streets and gives them immediate medical care upon their arrival at the home. To tend to the multiple health complications of the seniors, the home has a medical facility with doctors and nurses, a physiotherapy unit, a pathology lab, a digital X-ray monitoring machine and a pharmacy to provide 24-hour care to older adults anytime they require assistance, even during emergencies. Dr. Bhagat prioritizes the health of the seniors and ensures that they receive three balanced meals a day based on their precise health requirements. Need for the fundraiserThe humanitarian mission of SHEOWS is making an impact in the area, as more and more people are being rescued and brought to Guru Vishram Vridh Ashram. To meet the financial costs of running the home, SHEOWS needs support to continue providing the residents with all the facilities that they need. 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. Dr. Bhagat explains that as the number of residents is increasing, SHEOWS needs support for food and medicines. “I request you to help these elderly parents lead a peaceful life.”Donate now to help Dr. Bhagat continue caring for the 500 destitute elderly and giving them shelter, food, medical care and the will to carry on living despite their tragic abandonment by their families. Your support will enable SHEOWS to keep serving abandoned senior citizens and help them recover from the trauma of abandonment and life on the streets. “I have been serving these elderly as if they were my own parents”, shares Dr. Bhagat. “I want only one thing - their tears should vanish and they should have a smile on their faces.” To help Dr. Bhagat achieve this dream, your support is critical. Donate now to help SHEOWS care for more abandoned elderly. Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest online donation platform, to support SHEOWS in their mission to rescue the abandoned elderly from the streets and give them shelter, food, medical care, recreational activities and emotional support.

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.

In India, despite our overall technological progress and a robust developing economy, the quality of education in our schools has always been woefully deficient. There is an urgent need to introduce the concept of holistic education in schools. While academics has to be stressed upon, overall development of children is equally important. Holistic education at the primary school level leads to better self-governance, higher self-esteem, and overall emotional development. . Child Help Foundation is looking forward to support 100 scholarships to underprivileged students of Lal Bahadur Shastri School from class I to class X. 
 Child Help Foundation aspires to provide a framework and support structure for underprivileged children. This project is primarily aimed at providing holistic education to students of the selected school and involves interacting directly with the community and local officials. Child Help Foundation creates the strategies and works towards effective educational development in these areas.The project consists of capacity building, advocacy, and counseling sessions, which will provide hands-on opportunities for students, along with their teachers, to explore the use of modern learning aids and instruments from a team of experienced facilitators and counselors. 
 Child Help Foundation has executed several such projects in the past with a remarkable measure of success. We are proficient at identifying, planning and executing projects in the educational sphere. Education is the pillar of society, it shapes young lives, paves their future and thus the country is benefited in the long run due to the availability of educated manpower. The economic benefits of such a project, in the long run, are immense. Migration to cities can be effectively curbed if skilled manpower and jobs can be created in rural India.

Menstrual hygiene and management is an issue that is insufficiently acknowledged and has not received adequate attention in SDG 3 - Studies that make the problem visible to the concerned policymakers are very much warranted.Adolescence is a vulnerable period in human life cycle characterized by rapid growth and development coupled within numerous physiological and psychological changes (NNMB, 2000) some problems faced by the adolescents in the project area are menstrual disorders, leucorrhoea and psychological issues. The problem in numbers:- •	35, 50, 00,000 menstruating women and girls in India •	71% have no knowledge of menstruation before their first period •	82% of girls use alternatives such as old cloth, rags, sand, or ash. •	Only 18% use sanitary pads•	88% of adolescent girls are unaware of the health implications due to poor menstrual hygiene.Health &amp; Nutrition Status•	56% of Adolescent Girls (AGs) are anaemic•	47% are undernourished with low BMI •	30% of adolescent girls give birth to their first child •	41% of maternal deaths take place in 15-24 yrs•	Dropout rate (I-X): 57.29% •	50% of adolescent girls marry before the age of 18*Source: - Ministry of Women and Child Development, GOI, on SABLA. 
 The Child Help Foundation initiative Swach Vidyalaya Mission will engage multi-sector groups, including governments, corporate CSR and the NGO community to sustain not only a discussion but encourage affirmative action on addressing menstrual hygiene management. 	To achieve the mission, the CHFs theory of change adopts a three-pronged approach by: •	Educating girls, women, boys and men of good menstrual hygiene practices. •	Enrolling citizens and existing menstrual hygiene product users in a supportive, taboo-free environment to create an open forum for discussion and deliberation. •	Enabling the adolescent girls to access the best quality menstrual hygiene products as CSR commitment for Swacch Bharat Swachh VidyalayaChild Help Foundation Swachh Vidyalaya is a campaign in line with Swachh Bharat Swachh Vidyalaya Mission which aims for “at least one incinerator in the girl’s toilet block and niche to keep sanitary napkins. 
 The Benefits to School Children 1.	Girls are particularly vulnerable to dropping out of school, partly because many are reluctant to continue their education when toilets and washing facilities are not private, not safe or simply not available. When schools have appropriate, gender-separated facilities, an obstacle to attendance is removed. 2.	Basic facilities that provide for good hygiene and privacy, along with sensitive health promotion assist girls in staying in school and completing their education3.	The provision of water, sanitation and menstrual hygiene facilities in school secures a healthy school environment and protects children from illness and exclusion. It is the first step towards a healthy physical learning environment, benefiting both learning and health4.	Clean water, sanitation, and menstrual hygiene in schools aim to make a visible impact on the health and hygiene of children through improvement in their health and hygiene practices. It improves children’s health, school enrolment, attendance and retention and paves the way for a new generation of healthy children. This is every girl child’s right.5.	By providing gender-segregated toilets, students are assured of privacy and dignity, a particularly important factor for girls’ school attendance.

Providing Emergency Medical Support to the underprivileged sections of society still remains a goal that has seen widening economic and social inequalities. Providing Medical support to the weaker sections of the society is sacrosanct to achieving the SDG3 (Sustainable Development Goal of Good Health and Well Being).Our country is home to the largest child population in the world. Under the Emergency Medical Support Programme, we support treatment to those children who require critical medical treatment and whose parents are not able to bear the cost of hospitalization. The Cause for Concern:--1.73 million children die in India every year due to lack of treatment.-30 percent of all premature deaths are due to respiratory diseases-8,40,000 children in India die before completing the first year of their lives-61 percent of total deaths in India were attributed to lifestyle or non-communicable diseases (NCDs) 
 Child Help Foundation's flagship program is to provide Emergency Medical Support to those families who are unable to afford the cost of treating their children. CHF, to date, has provided emergency medical support to 938 children. CHF has supported children suffering from Cancer, Congenital Heart Defects, and several other diseases. Many children succumb to various illnesses because they couldn't get proper medical care. Timely intervention by CHF ensures that children can live their lives and fulfill their dreams.To achieve our objective of providing Medical aid to needy children, CHF-Advises parents of the various government grants that are available as relief funds.-Guides parents to other charitable trusts to raise funds.-Negotiates with Hospitals on behalf of the parents to reduce the cost of treatment.-Raises funds via various internal teams and supporting agencies.-Follow up on the post-operative treatment of the child. CHF has also partnered with several major hospitals all over the country and works tirelessly to ensure that all children admitted to the hospitals are given proper care and treatment. 
 By providing emergency medical support to underprivileged children CHF not only ensures that they get proper treatment but are also looked after post their treatment. Children who receive medical support from Child Help Foundation take many months and even years to recover, during this treatment phase many of them are unable to attend schools. Due to this period of absence from schools and lack of motivation or financial backing, many of them end up as dropouts. And because of this process “Swastha Se Shiksha Programme” was born.We strive to see that the under 5 mortality rate reaches zero and there are no child deaths by 2030.

Emergency Medical Support

Lakhs of children in India, who belong to underprivileged families, are unable to receive the treatments they need in order to fight against the various life threatening diseases. Many poor families from rural areas fail to even diagnose the child with the correct disease to move towards curing it. Understanding this, Child Help Foundation started the Emergency Medical Support Program and has been striving to save the lives of these children and aid them in having Good Health and Well Being.Congenital Heart Diseases (CHDs) are very common in India. Considering the birth prevalence of congenital heart disease as 9/1000, the estimated number of children born with congenital heart disease in India is more than 2,00,000 per year. The warning signs in infants and children may include a heart murmur or abnormal heart sound, cyanosis (a bluish tint to the skin, fingernails, and/or lips), fast breathing, poor feeding, poor weight gain, an inability to exercise, and excessive sweating. According to the National Family Health Survey, the infant mortality rate (IMR) in India stands at 34 per 1000 live births. About 10 percent of these infant deaths can be attributed to congenital heart diseases (CHDs) alone.The treatment for CHDs is expensive for people living on daily wages or belonging to economically weaker sections of society. Late diagnosis because of home births and limited or no screening at birth in the villages also are some reasons that the defect goes unnoticed for some time. The unavailability of specialized medical care and infrastructure in rural areas forces parents to travel with their sick children to cities for their treatments. Lack of safe transport with no medical supervision for long-duration often leads to the children developing complications like hypothermia and hypoglycemia.  
 Child Help Foundation interacts with different medical specialty departments of various hospital partners regularly and tracks down updates on underprivileged children who need emergency medical treatment. We also endorse an appeal from partner hospitals, families of underprivileged patients, and NGOs for Emergency Medical Support. 
 We wish to support as many children as possible whose parents are not able to bear the cost of their child's treatment due to weak financial status
