“The abusers insert a candle or fingers in the vagina of children torture them. If the children don’t relent even then, the abusers 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 the Society for Participatory Integrated Development (SPID), while talking about many heart-rending stories of trafficked children in red-light areas. In over three decades, the team of SPID led by Lalitha, has saved over 3000 children from the red-light areas in Delhi, such as GB Road, and many from clutches of sex trafficking. While Lalitha has also helped many women escape the clutches of being forced into sex work, the SPID is focused on rescuing children and giving them a better life.Sadly, many more children need to be rescued and need a loving home. SPID needs your support to carry on the mission, to move out of the small shelters that are subject to arbitrary rental increases or landlords’ whims, to permanent locations where she can rescue more children and give them all the love they deserve. Your support will give these children the care and upbringing they need. 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).“I have limited funds and very limited space, and if I had the funds, I would be able to rescue many more children and provide them with more comfort. With folded hands, I plead with you that you help us with funds in large numbers and support us in providing us children with a decent life. Become a part of the mission,” pleads Lalitha. Lalitha plays a vital role in the survival and safety of vulnerable children in the red-light areas.

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.

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.

We, at ‘The New LEED’ develop, train, help empower isolated, sick and widowed, deserted, single mothers to learn skills by educating and employing and while in Thalir-LEED, we promote these blossoming self help group single mothers, and widows by rebuilding, creating, making confident and independent by employing and marketing their creative products ultimately giving a life of dignity.Our highly concerned marshlands of Kallukottai, Perungudi slum community, one of the largest slums in Chennai spread over 370 acres, slum broken into ‘Nagar’ on either side of the Perungudi elevated train station and housing about 20,000 families. More than 80% of the residents are manual labourers who are located in unhealthy and environmentally unsafe areas.The major factors contributing the development of slums is the lack of employment, daily struggling with lack of street lights, no water supply system which makes sanitation and health questionable, high flood risk chances, 204 unpaved streets not only make it difficult for them to commute out of the slum but susceptible to many diseases, health hazards, a few of households don't have access to any toilets and defecate in open. It has no drainage system, rain or sun, water stagnates always which leads to clogging, high issues of ‘feminism’, ‘equality’ which is a distant and fancy concept to those residents. The abundance of litter and garbage in the area inevitably leads to unhygienic conditions of living which make them go through with everyday struggle of living, even higher education mostly pursued by boys, surprisingly, majority of girls are married at the age of 16. The majority of women living here are mostly unemployed, have numerous social taboos and totally depend on their fathers or husbands for their living. Hence, these women and children are often left in a disadvantaged position by the men who are addicted to alcohol or by men who are less committed to contributing to the family. They often are left to face situations of poverty and lack any form of empowerment that may lead them to live a self sustainable life.  
 The New LEED Trust as worked towards empowering women by providing them with a skill development training program which involves basket making and tailoring. These two projects were dedicated to make the lives of these women and their families better, by offering them a hands-on skill through which they may earn an extra income. Similarly, the children of the community are also looked after. Apart from helping them with school subjects, the organisation is keen on helping them develop holistically, through an activity based supplementary education program. This involves providing the children with spoken English classes, library facilities and classes for extracurricular activities 
 These projects have touched the lives of many women and children. Around 80 women are enrolled in the skill development training program and as many as 100 children are a part of the activity based supplementary education program and are regular recipients of scholarships.The initiatives taken by the organisation have enabled many women and children to better their lives even amidst the difficult circumstances. These projects have brought smiles to many faces and have empowered the women and children of the Perungudi slum.
