"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.

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.

“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.

“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.

In India education is still a distant dream for millions of children and in our area too. Our target area Villupuram district comes under the Tamilnadu state. In this district, the majority of the people depend on agriculture and agricultural occupation for their income. But India’s agriculture is dependent on rain too much, and in the absence of adequate irrigation facilities, as much as 70% of the cultivation in our area looks to rain for water supply. But rains in India are inadequate, uncertain and irregular. Hence, this makes agriculture an uncertain occupation. The rains keep our target district drought for a decade.People don’t have other opportunities and they suffer a lot with their big families. So in nature, education in these communities has remained beyond the reach of their children. Poverty, family illiteracy, lack of resources and social backwardness are the major contributing factors. In our area, nothing has been done for the improvement and upliftment of the poor Community. So the majority of the people in our target area are backward socially, educationally and economically. So our area people are living in most miserable conditions devoid of essential facilities of life especially they don’t have much education due to the absence of any support system. So, our target area’s illiterate, poverty-ridden Tribal and rural Dalit poor parents do not wish to educate their children, because they think that investment in education for their children is considered a mere waste of time and resources and most worrisome is girls' education.  
 Due to all the above reasons, they are unceremoniously denied the opportunity to get basic knowledge and literacy skills. The majority of our area's Tribal and Dalit children were out of school or working/helping their parents in domestic work/agricultural fields. So, we wish to give education through Door Step School (school on the wheel). It attempts to take education to Out-of-School children who dwell on the very fringes of society, so as to remove/solve the existing problemsPLAN OF ACTION:We have constructed a school for poor Dalit and tribal children in Paravour village, Vannur Taluk, Villupuram district. Tamil Nadu, South India, with the support of M/s Lotus Flower Trust, U.K. We have constructed a school of 10000 sqft with 14 classrooms and one small office room. We are operating the school since the academic year June 2016. Now we have 150 children, and most of the parents are willing to send their children to our school.Aims and Objective of the Project: Ø To improve the literacy rate among Dalit and Tribal children Ø  To identify, mobilize and enrol all the eligible children in the school at the beginning of the academic year.Ø  To initiate the community to advocate for tribal and Dalit girls to have access to education.Ø  To increase the access of Tribal and Dalit children to education.Ø  To change the life condition of poor tribal and Dalit children through education.Ø Enter into the bright future for Dalit and tribal children.Ø  To improve the hygiene in and near the schools 
 The long-term output: The educational status of Tribal and Dalit children to be improved. Short-term outputs:Ø Tribal and Dalit children enrolled in the school.Ø The awareness of the community to encourage and support the Tribal and Dalit children increased.Ø Providing milking goats/milk animals for each child's family for generating income and utilising the money for their children's education.
