Hunger and malnutrition have become a reality for thousands of elderly parents abandoned by their own children, in villages and slums across India. Seeing the rampant distress among the elderly, a team of selfless heroes from our NGO partner Mitti Cafe, though disabled themselves, have taken up the responsibility of providing cooked meals and dry rations to over 5,000 elderly in urgent need of support. Setting aside their own struggles, Mitti Cafe’s team, led by Ayesha Alam has been relentlessly fighting to free elderly from hunger and malnutrition through its Karuna Meals initiative. The need for nutrition support is growing with each passing day and Mitti Cafe is struggling to fulfill this enormous need. With your support, the NGO and its team of persons with disability can put food on the plates of hundreds of more elderly parents. 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), &amp; 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (USA). Elderly deserve love, not neglect and hunger“There have been countless senior citizens, in extremely backward villages of the Sundarbans in West Bengal, who had not had a proper meal in days when we found them. We have seen people picking food from the garbage out of extreme hunger.”, recalls Ayesha of Mitti Cafe, while talking about the extent of hunger faced by senior citizens. According to Ayesha, there are thousands of elderly who have been either chucked out of their homes or have been left behind in villages by their children. “Our elderly don't deserve this life and it is our responsibility to come to their aid. If we come together we can ease the suffering of hundreds of people battling hunger and starvation. Donate now Our heroes’ war against hungerPersons with disability who were once discriminated against by society are today at the forefront of the fight to save abandoned elderly and children from hunger. The Karuna Meals team, comprising only of persons with disability has been able to cook and serve over 10 lakh meals. They have also distributed over 1 lakh packets of dry rations. ”They overlook their own struggles and suffering just to reach the elderly and provide them with the food they need,” says Ayesh. But their job is not yet done. “There are still many villages which have many malnourished and hungry seniors and we have not been able to reach them. But with your support, we can collectively end starvation,” she says.

“A blind child is often seen as a curse or a burden to the family, leading to abandonment. I’ve picked up children from roadsides myself. I too lost my sight as a child, but today I’m a senior officer thanks to the National Association for the Blind, Delhi (NAB). What would I have done without their help?” asks Veena Mehta Verma, a beneficiary turned advocate for NAB and its mission to protect and care for blind children like herself.The state of young blind girls abandoned by their families and without education is even worse. “Blind girls have no future without education. Education is crucial to their future. Without it, they face neglect and limited opportunities, ignored not just by their families, but by society at large. What I am today is only because of the education I received. But sadly, every blind girl is not as fortunate. Most visually impaired girls are deprived of any care and even something as basic as education, leading to a difficult life,” says Asha Bhola, President, Blind Welfare Society (BWS).Both NAB and BWS work for the welfare of blind children and young girls by providing them with shelter, education, and care. This Diwali, they need your support to help many more youngsters in need.Donate easily through UPI, all debit/credit cards and net banking. Charitable donations to this fundraising campaign are tax-exempt under 80G of the Income Tax Act (India).A life of uncertainty &amp; sufferingEven if a blind child or young girl is not abandoned, they are often trapped in their homes deprived of education or any way of making a living. “For a blind kid, employment is impossible without education. They need to learn Braille or use ‘talking computer’ aids. Many of these children are deprived of such facilities,” says Veena.Young kids and girls for whom NAB and BWS have cared for are today placed in some of the most prestigious organisations across the world. While some have gone on to make a name for themselves in the corporate world, others have taken up art and music as a profession too.But many blind children who are bright, academically gifted, and waiting to shine, are often neglected or abandoned by their own families. And with your donation, NAB and BWS can give them the future they deserve.As we celebrate the festival of lights, donate to this fundraiser on Give.do, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to help blind children and young girls get shelter, education and care and a shot at a bright future.

“A blind child is seen as a curse or as a burden to the family. These children are left on the street. I have picked up children from roadsides myself. I also lost my eyesight as a child but today I am a senior officer in a public sector company. What would I have done, had I not been taken care of?” asks Veena Mehta Verma who was once a beneficiary of National Association for the Blind, Delhi (NAB) and now works with the NGO to protect and care for blind children like herself.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/1c273b6d-eee3-4799-98aa-74efcde92177.webp" />Today, hundreds of blind children supported by NAB, Delhi have found something that they never had before–hope for a better tomorrow. Without Veena and NAB, many of these children would be at the risk of going back to the streets or spend a life of neglect and even abuse.

In a post pandemic world where 'normalcy' is being reinvented for all, the coronavirus crisis has delivered an additional blow for those with disabilities – a complete breakdown of their cultivated ‘routine’ and the absence of ‘hands on’ attention in a familiar environment.  Since April, our focus has shifted to the development of an online model of training. We have since digitised all our content for the trainees in terms of instructional videos and methodology for live classes conducted in real time. Through this crisis, we have come to recognise that individuals with mild to moderate IDD are more or less amenable to remote learning. We are enhancing this remote learning model, to provide access to our programs for a greater number of individuals with IDD. ﻿ However, most of our students come from financially stressed backgrounds and are thus unable to access facilities to continue with digital learning.Our aim is to use your support to provide our students with the tools they need to continue their learning- internet connectivity, laptop, smartphones, tablets and such other essentials.With your help we aim to train over 500 mentally challenged youth so that they are able to lead their lives with dignity, with independence and be able to contribute to their family financially.
