Dev Pratap and Chandni know what it means to go to bed hungry. They grew up in slums, picking rags and doing odd jobs to survive. There were days when they didn’t know where the next meal would come from. But even then, they chose to share what little they had. With the few rupees they could save, they started feeding children. They worked as waiters in restaurants and took on every possible job to keep their small effort alive.Today, that effort has grown into a full-fledged mission. Their NGO Voice of Slums now feeds over 800 children every single day—365 days a year.They have put together everything from large utensils to a delivery van for distribution, the only challenge they face is to arrange rations in such a large quantity each day. And you can support them in this fight by donating to the cause. Your contribution can feed tens of kids who are in urgent need of nutrition. Donate generously!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)."These children wait for us with plates in hand..."<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/83da1512-1741-44cf-bff2-90e45d1e1275.webp" />In slums, food is not just nourishment, it’s hope. When the Voice of Slums van arrives, children come running with joy.“These children call me didi. When they see a plate full of food, they feel didi is there. She’ll make sure we get a good meal. I can see hope in their eyes.” Chandni says.These are children who have no one to care for them. Many have lost their parents. Others are neglected and forgotten by society. For them, Dev, Chandni, and their team are family—their only source of warmth, nutrition, and safety.A battle against hunger every single dayFeeding 800 children isn’t easy. It takes dedication, organisation, and above all, resources.“We have a full team, an equipped kitchen, and a van for delivery. All we need is rations.”The meals provided aren’t just to fill stomachs, they’re packed with nutrition, designed to help growing children regain strength, energy, and the will to dream again.“At times, I have sleepless nights just thinking how these kids might be surviving. For those who don’t have parents, they are completely dependent upon us. Where will they go?” Dev adds.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/f25b705a-dd73-4ae7-91b5-0bd330008bff.webp" />You can make sure no child sleeps hungryYour donation will help Voice of Slums continue providing hot meals to children who have no one else. With food in their stomachs, these children can smile, play, study, and dream.“I can’t allow a child to sleep hungry. I can’t see a child unable to even play just because of hunger” Chandni says. They’ve built everything with love. Now they need your support.Voice of Slums doesn’t rely on big grants or government aid. It’s built on the resilience of two young leaders who turned their pain into purpose. They have the kitchen, the van, the team. What they need now is rations, and a community that believes no child should be left hungry. Donate today. Help feed a child. Together, we can keep hope alive.Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s most trusted online donation platform, to support Voice of Slums in its mission to feed and care for children from slums.

“Preeti (name changed) was just six when she was brought to Mumbai and only nine when she was sold into Kamathipura’s red-light area. We rescued her a few years later, but by then, she had already endured unimaginable trauma. Her stories broke my heart. That’s when I resolved to dedicate my life to ending the trafficking and exploitation of children,” says Aaboo Varghese, who left a successful corporate career to take up this fight. “Preeti tragically lost her life years later to HIV, a result of the abuse she suffered as a child,” Aaboo sharesAaboo has dedicated his life to saving children from the horrors of red light areas, but he can not do it alone. With your support, he can bring freedom and light into the lives of many more unfortunate victims of child trafficking. Support him now!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).<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/e761cdec-04ae-4d1a-be56-19669a0dc71e.webp" />A crisis of mammoth proportionsThe scale of human trafficking is something most people cannot even imagine. “Every day, about six children are trafficked. This is a fast-growing business because unlike anything else, a human being can be sold over and over again. It is alarming and heart-wrenching,” Aaboo shares.But no matter how daunting the task might be Aaboo has made it his life mission to see the fight against human trafficking till the end. Living in a hell on earth“The abuse young girls face in red-light areas is beyond comprehension,” Aaboo shares. “These young girls are robbed of their innocence and their childhood. Traffickers beat them with rods, burn them, and mutilate their private parts just to break them. Children are kept in separate apartments where multiple men abuse them and get addicted to substances”, Aaboo says. Through his NGO Purnata, Aaboo is on a mission not just to rescue the victims from red-light areas but also to rehabilitate them and give them a fresh start in life. To date, he has saved 85 children and 60 women from red-light areas, but for him, the job is far from over. Aaboo has dedicated his life to this cause. Your contribution can strengthen his efforts. Donate generously!  <img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/1c8534fc-4b77-4389-9b5b-3c0dba0dd4d2.webp" />What your donations can doYour support can enable Aaboo to strengthen Purnata’s on-ground outreach programmes so that they can save a child as soon as she is brought to red-light areas. The NGO will also be able to invest in their rehabilitation programme, which provides training and education to rescued victims of trafficking. You can also play a critical role in bringing to an end second-generation trafficking so that the cycle of exploitation can come to an end once and for all. Donate to this fundraiser by give.do, India’s most trusted online donation platform, to support Purnata in its mission to rescue and rehabilitate victims of human trafficking.

“The Hummingbird School is my only hope to succeed in life. I feel I am trying to swim out of this place (Majuli) and my school stands as a beacon on the other side of the river. If my school closes down, I feel I will drown in this river. Not just me but every child in villages around here and our families depend on this school”, says Roopjyoti, a bright, young student of Ayang Trust’s The Hummingbird School.Majuli Island, where The Hummingbird School is situated, faces severe floods and constant riverbank erosion, leaving most of its residents struggling to survive. For the children of this impoverished tribal community, education remains their only path to hope and dignity.Your support to Ayang Trust’s Hummingbird School can ensure that its students can have a future different from their parents who are struggling to get even two meals a day. Donate now.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).From IIT Kharagpur to Majuli“When I first visited the remote villages of Majuli I was shocked. The extent of the struggles here was beyond my imagination. These villages had no connectivity to the outside world, and very limited access to healthcare and quality education”, says Bipin Dhane, founder of the school. Bipin, who grew up in the small town of Satara in Maharashtra, faced countless financial hardships. Despite his struggles, Bipin secured admission to the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, and then went on to take up a job in Singapore. Owing to his childhood experiences Bipin was always inclined towards helping the less fortunate, and he believed in the transformative power of education. It was in 2016 that Bipin left his lucrative career abroad and moved to Majuli, to provide the children from this inaccessible river island education they were deprived of.“Whatever little money I had saved, I gave it to my parents. I had no money to start the school. It was then that villagers came together to build bamboo huts. Each family donated bamboo, wood, and whatever little they could. It was the parents of our students who erected huts for the school to start”, shares Bipin while talking about the inception of The Hummingbird School in 2017.Help Bipin save underprivileged children of Majuli Island from generational poverty and give them a chance to succeed. Donate now.Donate to save future generations“People of the island value education greatly because they know that their children have no future without it. Parents have vested their faith in The Humming Bird School because they don't want their children to suffer the way they have been”, says Bipin. Bipin says, “Today we have over 300 students in our school and about 90 children live in our hostel. Many of these children are orphaned or come from single-parent households, struggling each day without adequate care or resources.. I urge each one of you to come forward and donate to us so we can help hundreds of children escape from the cycle of poverty and build lives of dignity, hope, and opportunity.”Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to help children of Majuli Island get an education and break the cycle of poverty.

Total money collected till date from this drive is 1.6 lakh (Give India) and 6.08 lakh on Milaap (https://milaap.org/fundraisers/support-various-hospitals).

Team Srijan Ka Sankalp delivered and installed Oxygen Concentrators in government hospitals and Covid care centers in several tier-2 and tier-3 cities around UP. The selfless volunteers covered a huge area and served hospitals in Lucknow, Sitapur, Orai, Jalaun, Ghatampur, Bahraich, and Bareilly. If you think you haven’t heard the names of some of those cities, it tells you that our effort is now influencing the rural hinterland of North India where supplies and media attention barely reach. The doctors and hospital in-charges have expressed their gratitude to our campaign, but our biggest achievement was to see our OCs get into use immediately and patients getting treated. Thank you to all our donors and supporters, and thanks to the real heroes – Srijan volunteers. Please keep spreading the word so that our campaign keeps reaching more people. <img src="https://images.milaap.org/milaap/image/upload/v1621323485/production/images/uploader_images/Sitapur_1621323484.jpg?format=jpg&amp;mode=max&amp;width=603" />

Today was a big day, more to come, please see update 2 !

Never before India in its recent history has seen resurgence of support from NGOs, Corporates and Individuals to all those who were affected directly or indirectly by COVID-19 pandemic last year. #SrijanKaSankalp too with its available resources and with the support and help from philanthropic people reached out to the poor people, #healthcare workers, truck drivers in the countryside and helped them in all possible ways not only to sustain their livelihood but also to protect them from Covid pandemic. It has been truly a lifetime experience for us. Our volunteers' overwhelming enthusiasm to reach out to the people rendered jobless because of the prolonged #lockdown in the country has been an amazing experience for all of us. I am happy to share with you all that our Srijan volunteers Without thinking about the risks associated with the pandemic, in the first six months since the outbreak of pandemic and subsequent lockdown reached out to more than 50,000 people in the States of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhatisgarh and Haryana providing them with the ration to eke out their living and also the safety kits against Covid pandemic. We are privileged to inform you all that Srijan Ka Sankalp's prime focus has been to play a key role in making the poor children of rural Bharat "shikshit" (educated), skilled and healthy through our `saksham bharat', `nipur bharat' and `swasth bharat' flagship campaigns. In the past two years we have adopted over two dozen villages in Bundelkhand region, primarily to educate village children through smart classes and making available other academic tools at their disposal. Our NGO in association with our sister concern `Quest for education' has also been imparting free of cost coachings to poor and talented students in the rural areas and we are happy to inform you that many of our students have made through various national level competitive examinations. Recently we kick started `Shiksha Ki Gaadi' drive to provide education and impart teachings to the poor students, children of villages who cannot afford to go for online education in absence of internet connectivity, computers, mobile phones and laptops. The `shiksha ki gaadi' equipped with smart tv and other academic tools chugs from one village to another village to provide education to poor kids in their villages in the vicinity of their homes. After a tremendous response to our first shiksha ki gaadi, we have recently launched another shiksha ki gaadi.  With classroom education continuing to remain elusive for the majority of students in the country, we also launched an online learning platform - isaksham (https://isaksham.org/) through which students from any part of the country are being tutored on different subjects, topics in various streams by our qualified faculties. isaksham (https://isaksham.org/) is a free of cost online education portal designed to teach students from standard one to 12. It has provisions to address queries of students on any of their classroom subjects. This online academic platform of Srijan has also received enthusiastic response.
