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.

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.

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.

The joy of an elderly seeing their granddaughter’s face for the first time or being able to see sunlight after years of visual impairment is invaluable. Our NGO partner, Nanritam, has given such priceless moments of joy and the gift of sight to thousands of underprivileged seniors who could not afford surgeries.

Donate now to provide life-changing surgeries.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).Giving the elderly gift of sight“The extent of illiteracy and poverty in the villages of Purulia is shocking. These villages are so remote that not even one eye-care institution has ever reached here. Blindness leaves the elderly so helpless that they are even unable to care for themselves and lead normal lives”, says Ranjana Sengupta, Secretary, Nanritam who has been at the forefront of the NGO’s operations. Nanritam is an organisation of several eye doctors who treat patients for free in far-flung areas.Due to limited livelihood opportunities in backward areas, able-bodied persons often migrate to urban areas for better prospects, leaving their elderly parents behind to fend for themselves. Compounding this situation, many seniors grapple with visual impairment caused by cataract, leading to partial or complete blindness. Ranjana emphasises, "The elderly may not be aware that a quick 5-minute cataract surgery has the power to transform their entire lives."Donate to Nanritam now to provide free cataract surgeries to the elderly and change their lives.Why donate to the fundraiser?“We are in urgent need of funds to purchase modern equipment and to cover operating costs to give vision to the elderly who can't even afford basic treatment and medical care.

Despite the fact that more than half of India's population is under 25, the country has struggled to get enough representation or make a worldwide influence in sports. To improve and develop their skills and athletic abilities, a sportsperson is required to play a minimum of 100 match play experiences each year, according to FIFA regulations. Children in India, on the other hand, only play in 5–7 tournaments each year, which is just 7% of the necessary minimum. Even the fortunate few who do have the opportunity to participate in competitive sports cannot excel beyond a certain point. Difficulties are paramount for Children from low-income families who have an especially tough time even participating in sports.     The Victory Sports Foundation, which offers regular mentorship and coaching in football and boxing to such children through Victory Sports Hubs, has identified a significant difficulty in terms of enhancing their game-play due to the lack of opportunities to participate in sports tournaments. Despite the fact that the children in these centers are routinely coached, they are unable to frequently put what they have learned into practice. Unless they are exposed to more matches and tournaments, even their coaches are will be unable to assess their on-field strengths and weaknesses. It is therefore critical to organize and participate in multi-level tournaments that will help these kids in improving their gameplay.    
 Victory spots foundation organizes and encourages their children to participate in special sports tournaments to address this gap- thereby enhancing and refine their game skills. These tournaments are simple to organize, cost-effective while providing children with the necessary match and game experiences they require to hone their abilities. Victory conducts these tournaments at three levels.   1. Sports Talent Enhancement Program (STEP) tournaments (Intra-City): These are regular matches that are conducted once a month between clubs in the city.  12 such matches are conducted a year and approximately 100 children participate. The cost of organizing one STEP tournament is Rs 11,000. The total cost for a year is Rs 1,32,000.    2. Outstation (Inter City /State/District Matches): It is important players participate in tournaments outside their cities and districts because they will be exposed to players from different backgrounds and skill-sets. The challenges are more and the competition is higher, offering them more scope to enhance their skills and move up in the skill ladder. This year, we are planning to take our teams to participate in 6 such tournaments. The cost for the Victory team participating in these matches (including their travel and accommodation) is Rs. 44,000 per tournament. The total cost for a year is Rs 2,64,000.  3.  Vivekananda Tournament: This is Victory Sports Foundation’s flagship tournament, impacting clubs from over 10 districts in Tamil Nadu. The program reaches out to over 1000 children youth across the state, giving them a platform to participate in a State level tournament. Conducted once a year, the total cost for organizing the tournament is Rs. 4,00,000.   
 Tournaments are significant in the area of sports. They are important not only for the participants but also for the coaches and football managers. Some of the outcomes are listed below   1. Skill Development: Participating in competitions allows athletes to improve not only technical but also tactical abilities in their sport.   2. Helps in Scouting: Tournaments may be used to identify strong players and new talent by monitoring their performance.  National scouters also scout for talented players from such state and district tournaments. 3.Promotes sports popularity: Tournaments aid in the promotion of sports. It piques people's interest in that particular sport.    4.Entertainment Source: Sports competitions give plenty of entertainment for spectators and creates sports culture among public. 5.Enhances social skills: Sports competitions help players develop social qualities such as tolerance, compassion, collaboration, and group cohesion.   6.Promotes cohesion: Sports competitions aid in the development of national unity and brotherhood as well as international unity and brotherhood.   7. Alignment with GOI objectives: Through its Fit-India program, the government has reaffirmed its commitment to a fitter nation. Practicing in tournaments do just that.   8. Alignment with UN SDG- Tournaments also helps contribute to UN SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and UN SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities by providing a level playing field for children from all backgrounds.  Our aim is to ensure that all our students who come from diverse and underprivileged backgrounds have access to quality sports via tournament participation which will help them in their game play, overall health, fitness levels.  Some of the measurable indicators include.   <ul><li>Improved sports performance.   </li><li>Increase in child’s involvement in sports.   </li><li>Locally run, grassroots tournaments.   </li><li>Improvement in endurance, stamina, flexibility, and mental well-being.   </li><li>Increase in the number of underprivileged children accessing sports.   </li></ul>

India has the world's largest youth population with over 356 million people under the age of 25. Sadly, despite over 50% of its population falling under this category, India has been unable to garner adequate representation or make a mark on a global scale in the world of sports. In a country where complexities are rampant, sports in India offer something exceptional and remarkably refreshing. The effort towards representation and equality in sports will take time and resources. Sport therefore remains a luxury at best. Children from underprivileged backgrounds are therefore at a great disadvantage and mostly spend their life in miserable conditions while undergoing a lot of frustration. To add to this, the growing rates of metabolic illnesses is on the rise in India. Sports is a good way to incorporate a healthy lifestyle in children. Ingratiating a sports culture at the grassroots level and reaching out to the most marginalized is of primary importance for a fitter and healthier youth population. Our Sports 4 Health program aims to solve this issue. 
 Sports 4 Health is an initiative to promote the concept of sports among children from all backgrounds and to engage them in sports; especially football and boxing as a means to fitness. Improving health through sports is the key agenda of this project. Overseen by professional coaches, the program aims at a happy, healthy and fit India. So far, we have reached out to over 2500 children through the Sports 4 Health program. Additional support provided is in the form of football and boxing sports kits, diet, special camps, sports equipment, medical assistance, local and outstation tournament, higher education support for deserving students to enable them to play to their fullest potential. We have identified 100 children from Vellore and Krishnagiri districts of TN. We are providing them with sports coaching, mentor-ship, counselling, sports kits, yoga, meditation, awareness programs nutritional support and any additional support that they would require to lead a healthy life and become quality sports-people who are also socially conscious. 
 Through this program, we aim to raise awareness on the importance of incorporating sports into daily routine. Identified 100 children (50 from Krishnagiri and 50 from Dharmapuri) will be provided with Sports Kits (1 per person comprising football shoes, jersey, bag, t-shirts), nutritional supplement (healthy porridge comprising millet and nuts based food) and personal kit. 100 students will be capacitated through this program.
