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.

“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.

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.

Help educate 500 poor children this year.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/6a229775-f59f-42f1-86e7-31c50b89c1b9.jpg" style="display:inline;float:left;margin:0px 1em 1em 0px" width="184" />"She is Prathyusha, belongs to Indigenous community, from Yellavathula village, Kurnool district.

Prathyusha is cared by her aging grand mother right now.  She wants to become a doctor so that she could help people sufferring from HIV/AIDS. She says that she does not want other children to lose their parents to AIDS and become orphan like her. A bright and active girl with a clear vision for her future. Thank you, Pam for your kindness. NCT, remains grateful to you!SUMMARY: While we know well that education is the stepping stone to success, it is extremely difficult for many to be able to afford the same. It is not just higher education, even quality primary education remains a distance dream for many children from the poorest of the poor communities. This fundraising campaign will support NCT's Poor Children Education Projects which ensures children especially girl children from the poorest communities complete quality primary and secondary schooling. Of the total sponsored children, 60% of the children are girls and most of them are orphans. This fund support education of 120 orphan, semi-orphan and the poorest of the poor children. 
 BACKGROUND: The target rural villages on the western region of Kurnool district in Andhra Pradesh is known for chronic droughts and extreme poverty. The villages suffer high ratio of school dropouts and child marriages. Moreover, the impact of COVID-19 has pushed already poor communities into extreme poverty.NCT Poor Children Education project prevents children becoming the victims of poverty and ensures sustained quality education. Besides school fees, the program also provides all school learning materials, uniforms, shoes, medical care, mentor support and supplementary support for children. These families have been hit extremely hard by Covid-19, losing loved ones and jobs, spending too much on medical costs, falling prey to despair, and dropping out of school.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/3289728f-a170-4a27-8ce3-97d69dd619ba.jpg" style="display:inline;float:left;margin:0px 1em 1em 0px" width="250" />CHALLENGE: Without this education support, many students - especially girls - will drop out and will never return. They will be forced into child labor and early marriage, and subjected to violence and abuse. Instead, with your help, they can go back to school and realize their dreams. 
 LONG-TERM IMPACT: This fund aims to ensure that all girls and boys have access to quality early childhood development, care and education.

Mrs. Yananam Lakshmi, a widow, 44yrs, with a son from Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh. Since four years, she has been suffering from multiple fractures on her Left leg, right forearm and her hip requiring bone grafting and implantation. She has become bound to her bed all these years. In simple terms, she is bed-ridden and her son cares even her personal (natural calls) needs. Because of her poverty, she is not able to go through the much needed surgery and hospitalisation. Her son is a daily wage labourer earning around Rs 300 ($ 4) per day earlier. However, he is completely occupied by his mother looking after her. If he finds any daily wage labour near to his house, he goes. This poor family suffers both financially and physically. 
 She needs multiple implantation on her hip, and right forearm. The doctor/surgeon has assured that she would become like any other healthy human being and able to do her works and support her family as usual after the surgery.The total medical expenses towards her surgery is Rs. 350,000 ( $4730). The surgery would be at Kamineni Hospitals, Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, once we are able to collect the required donation 
 Mrs. Yanam Lakshmi would become perfectly healthy woman, able to build her family with a good futureA poor widow would be able to live a normal life with dignity and peace.If we could raise more than the required amount for her surgery, the excess amount would be used towards post-surgery home care and support her family.

Medical Emergency: A widow with multiple fractures requires multiple implantations

Chenchu Lakshmi Gudem is a remotely located indigenous tribal hamlet in Mahanandi Mandal of Andhra Pradesh, India. The hamlet lacks even necessities for a living, including a primary school. There are 150 families in this hamlet. People in this hamlet are illiterate and live on the scanty income they get from selling forest products. Being illiterate and unskilled has made them victims of generational poverty. Children and girls are the victims of poverty and remain child labourers. Moreover, the illiterate marginalized community also reports child marriages. Most of the people in this tribe remain illiterate since they live primarily isolated and remote. There are 57 children, in the age group of 5-14 years, in this hamlet. They deserve a better life and future. Educating them is the best way to break the cyclic generational poverty.  
 This fundraising is to support the education of fifty-seven illiterate Chenchu tribal children. We want to start two bridge course centers in this tribal village. We will employ two trained teachers to educate the children. The children will be divided into groups suitable for primary and upper-primary education. Following the Samagra Sikshya Abhiyan, the children will be educated in this project.Children will learn languages, sciences, mathematics, sports, crafts, and drawing. The bridge course centers will follow play-way methods of learning. This enables the overall development of the child development in terms of emotions, intellect, and skill parameters. The entire learning method will revolve around activity-based learning. This way, the children find learning fun and exciting.NewBeginnings requests your support to buy textbooks and writing books, stationery items such as pens, pencils, drawing items, etc., IEC materials, sports &amp; craft items, illustrating books for the children, and pay for the two teachers.This project is imperative since educating the tribal children is the most important way the tribal community can improve personal endorsement, build capacity levels, overcome socio-economic barriers, and expand opportunities to sustain their well-being. 
 After this bridge course, the children can continue their regular education once we mainstream them in regular schools.The educated Chenchu-children become a source of inspiration for other children in the tribal community and start education. They become the agents of transformation toward the development of their tribal community. With education and skill, the children will help their community break from cyclic poverty.With continuous education and better qualifications, the tribal children become eligible for the government schemes to build a better future and livelihood for themselves and their community.

Gift Education to 57 tribal children

“A child without Education is like a bird without wings” – Tibetan Proverb. Girl children from the poorest of the poor communities remain victims of child marriages/child labour. When a child losses her childhood, she losses her future. When a girl is educated, she builds a better and healthy family. NewBeginnings supports the education of children from the poorest of the poor communities in the Kurnool district. Other than education, NewBeginnings also trains children in crafts and other creative skills at weekends. 
 Your donations will be used for buying textbooks, stationaries, uniforms for each child under our NCT Education programmes. 94% of your donation will be spent on children and 6% of your donation would be spent on children's health care and nutrition.100% of your donation would be spent on children.Each child is followed up personally and ensured children attend schools regularly without break. 
 While NCT gives equal importance to the education of both boys and girls, we strongly emphasize on the education of girl children. Because;Educate her – so she knows how to fight for her rights.Educate her – so she knows what’s good for her life.Educate her – so she knows what’s best for her children.Educate her – so she knows how to build a healthy family and community.
