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.

“It is not a disgrace to not reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for…”                                                                                      - Dr A.P.J. Abdul KalamIndia, with its immense scientific knowledge, resource diversity, and a powerhouse of youth, possesses the immense unearthed potential to meet future demands. But the huge population in India today is viewed as a burden on society. There is, thus, a pressing need to transform this ‘burdensome’ population into a productive force. However, an area of immediate concern is the unequal access to educational resources, even after more than six decades of independence. To adequately empower the nation, it is essential to facilitate access to as well as share the fruits of education among all sections of society in India, both in rural communities and among the urban poor. Poverty restricts children from vulnerable communities to gain quality education. The poverty circle causes people to live in poverty from generation to generation. Our target group of children come from these uneducated families so they cannot get decent jobs. Finally, they only work as scavengers, beggars, rat pickers etc. Most of the children didn’t have primary education due to inadequate facilities. The literacy level is very low, especially among girls. Parents with a low educational background educate their children according to their background. 
 PAHLI BELL is an educational project for uplifting out-of-school children from socially and economically backward families. We are implementing a doorstep education through the program. The program will impart primary education to out-of-school children. The aim of the project is to provide high-quality primary education to children and then mainstream them firmly in upper primary education. All this will be done through the active participation of the parents and community members. Many girls who are not getting their rightful place in primary education, will be benefited.In the program, all children are guided in a systematic and continuous manner to open their horizons. Selected teachers or facilitators will help children to develop life skills, language skills, and logical and reasoning skills along with imparting primary education. The ultimate mission of the PAHALEE BELL program is to inspire, stimulate and facilitate children to first explore and then transcend the physical, intellectual, and spiritual boundaries of their inner potential, producing individuals with highly ignited minds who can drive an all-around national renaissance. 
 This project will help provide basic education to marginalized children, who want to but are not able to access quality education. The project will bring back out-of-school children to formal schooling and equip children with 21st-century life skills. It will contribute to raising the situation of education in India and the development of the nation. It will enrich and endow students with the following attributes that would be useful to them throughout their life, irrespective of their area of specialization. These would also go a long way in developing them as responsible citizens:<ul><li>Greater Confidence </li><li>Speed Reading and Writing skills </li><li>Sharper Reflexes and imaging skill</li><li>Development in self-confidence</li><li>Sound Reasoning</li><li>Original Thinking</li><li>Analytical Skills</li></ul>

Poverty is a severe issue in North India, where many women-headed families, aged people, disabled people, and orphans struggle to meet their basic needs, including food. These vulnerable populations often cannot access regular jobs and struggle to afford nutritious meals, leading to malnutrition and other health problems. The COVID-19 pandemic has further worsened their situation, and many families are going hungry due to lack of employment opportunities and reduced incomes. They often have limited access to nutritious food and face the risk of malnutrition. 
 The Monthly Ration Kit Project is a charitable initiative aimed at providing basic food supplies to those in need. The project distributes monthly food kits to women-headed families, aged people who cannot go for jobs, disabled people, and orphans in North India. Each kit contains essential food items such as rice, wheat flour, lentils, oil, and spices. 
 The Monthly Ration Kit Project has had a significant impact on the lives of the beneficiaries. By providing regular access to nutritious food, the project has helped reduce malnutrition and other health problems. It has also eased the financial burden on vulnerable households and enabled them to allocate their limited resources to other essential needs, such as healthcare and education. Additionally, the project has promoted community solidarity and strengthened social cohesion by bringing together donors, volunteers, and beneficiaries in a common cause. Overall, the Monthly Ration Kit Project has made a meaningful difference in the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in North India.
