Due date of project report : Apr 3, 2020 : Report sent on Mar 12, 2020

Funding goal : $20,000 / Funds raised to date : $2,408

An unseen humanity survives among the abandoned mining town of Kolar Gold Fields with a society full of children with profound disabilities. Most of them suffer from Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation, Epilepsy, Autism and need lifelong care . These children generally have a single parent , mostly mother. As the child is severely disabled the mother cannot leave the child alone in order to go to work. Hence, most of the time the children are either starving or at the most get one meager meal a day.

We had identified about 20 families in similar circumstances and we started providing these children with monthly food provisions, which included rice, wheat, oil , dal , sugar and other basic daily need items . The average monthly cost for providing provisions to each child amounts to USD 100 per month or $1200 per year.

Ever since this project started it has helped sustain the lives of these poor disabled and neglected children and has been providing them with nutritious meals, preventing malnutrition and sickness . It has brought great amount of happiness in their lives as they know that they are being cared for and thought about.

Balajothi thanks YOU, DONOR, for your kind and generous donation of $2,282 to date.  This support will bring some hope to the lives of these children and their families in despair.

Balajothi thanks GlobalGiving for their support in terms of guiding, educating and raising funds through their fund raising platform from across the globe.  Thank you GlobalGiving !!
