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.

“What will happen to them after me? I am 80+. I spend sleepless nights,” worries ex-Air Force officer, Group Captain AC Barua while talking about the future of the 28 destitute women under his care. “They have nobody in this world, sometimes they don’t remember their own names. They are absolutely alone,” he informs us as he goes from one room to the other meeting all the women who live at Seneh, the only home where they are loved and taken care of. After fighting for his country all his life, this octogenarian is now fighting to rescue homeless and abandoned women from dying on the streets. But he cannot do it alone. “Everyday I keep on getting calls from here and there. ‘Oh! there’s a woman lying here. Can you help?’ But I don’t dare to go and help because I don’t have the money. I don’t have the resources, our resources are very limited,” explains Gr. Capt. Barua who is lovingly called ‘Sir’ and ‘Deuta’ (father in Assamese) by the residents of Seneh. With your help, 80-year-old Group Captain Barua can fulfill his mission of rescuing abandoned and homeless women from dying on the streets, alone. Donate nowDonate easily through UPI, all debit/credit cards and net banking. All 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).Seneh- a home filled with love, care and hopeThe residents of Seneh often don’t remember who they are, where they have come from. Many times these are women with mental health conditions and considered being a witch due to superstitious beliefs and beaten up as a result. They are victims of domestic abuse or widow mothers who are considered to be a burden on the family. Group Captain Barua has not only rescued them from critical conditions, he has provided them with urgent medical care, food and above all, a free safe shelter where they can live with love and care. Among these residents is Sarala Kalita who fled to save herself from the tortures of her alcoholic husband only to face neglect and trauma from her brothers- and sisters-in-law. “Both my brothers and their wives urged my father to leave me somewhere as they didn’t want to take care of me anymore. One day my brother’s wife didn’t even let me have food at home. She just wanted me to leave and go away. So that’s why, my father got in touch with Seneh through someone, and handed me over to Sir to take care of me,” says Sarita who has found joy in living at Seneh. “Coming to Seneh, it felt like I got a new life altogether. Sir has given me a harmonium. I love singing. It makes me forget everything and takes me to someplace else entirely,” she adds. More women like Sarala can find their way to a loving home like Seneh. All they need is a little bit of your kindness. “It is difficult to make both ends meet”To sustain their daily expenditure, Capt Barua needs approx ₹3 lakh a month and arranging the funds is a mammoth challenge for the NGO. “Our expenses are growing day by day. Residents are growing older, their sicknesses are increasing. At times we have to give them special food. They require more care so we have to get more employees. About half of them require leading around, 1-2 has to be fed also. It will be very difficult to sustain it unless we get help,” he added. One act of your kindness can save these abandoned women, with no one in this world, from struggling on the streets to survive. At 80+ Gr. Capt. Barua cannot sustain Seneh on his own. “With folded hands, I appeal to all. Please come and please help us. Let us help these people, these old people who have nobody in this world. They are dying. They will die on the streets,” he urged. Donate to this fundraiser by Give.do to support retired Air Force officer, Group Captain Barua in his mission to rescue abandoned and homeless women from dying on the streets.

759 families of the Musahar society residing in 25 forest villages of district Chandauli in Uttar Pradesh, India were financially affected in LockDown. 465 children from 0 to 5 years of these families are affected by extreme malnutrition. Because their parents go from home to work in the morning and come back in the evening, due to which children are not able to get food when they feel hungry. Due to which hunger keeps eating the body of children and children become malnourished. According to the survey in 2019, 10 per cent of the children of Musahar society were found to be saviour malnourished and 4 per cent of the children were moderately malnourished. Thus, a total of 14 per cent of the children were found to be malnourished. Due to these reasons, cases of child deaths are more in the Musahar society than in other societies. 
 It is necessary that community participation in the Musahar community of 10 villages should be conducted in a community kitchen called “Sabri kitchen” in which dry grains are roasted and provided to children when they experience hunger, especially in the noon or afternoon. at a later time. Any woman or man present in the village can do this work. For this work, with the help of dry grains like gram, rice, peas, chuda, lai, etc., the community will get a big help in the direction of nutrition of children. Depending on the experiences, this process may also be possible in the future with local help. Based on an estimate, about 36000 rupees would be required for a year in a village. About 360000 rupees will be required for 10 villages.     
 We want to change upto 5% of child malnutrition from 24% currently in the Musahar community.

By the way, the situation of malnutrition / Sukhandi can happen to the child of any society. Still, the condition of malnutrition/Sukhandi is found more among the children of Banvasi/Musahar community. We found in our survey that 14 percent of children are affected by malnutrition. The organization, after making a lot of efforts from its level, found that it is a hunger problem and the problem of hunger can be solved only by timely food. For which the organization provides food to needy children through "Mata Sabari Poshan Kitchen".During the exile in Treta yuga, Lord Rama was given sweet berry by Mata Sabri from her kitchen garden. In Kal Yuga, many followers of Mata Sabri are themselves living life with hunger. There are other reasons for this situation. For which schemes of Government of India and State Government are also going on. Nevertheless, there are many remote areas where the problem of hunger and malnutrition is prevalent among the Banwasi / Musahar society. The organization is running “Mata Sabri Poshan Kitchen” to help the identified malnourished children in such areas to get rid of hunger and malnutrition. Your cooperation is expected for the operation of this kitchen. 
 “Mata Sabri Poshan Kitchen” is a kitchen to provide food to those children at that time. When the children feel very hungry and the parents of the children have gone to work. During hunger, when children do not get food, hunger keeps the child alive by using the nutrients stored in the child's body. If this condition persists regularly then children become victims of malnutrition/sukhandi. In such a situation, if the children do not get proper nutrition, then many diseases affect the children and the life of the child remains in danger. If proper nutrition and care is taken during Malnutrition/Sukhandi, then the child can become healthy and lead a happy life 
 Along with the organization "Mata Sabari Poshan Kitchen", the children's nutrition is monitored every month according to the standard of the World Health Organization, health check-up, treatment of sick children by a pediatrician, nutrition rehabilitation center for serious children. Along with the treatment by getting admitted, it does the work of regular follow-up and connecting the family with government schemes and facilities.
