Our next mission

We understand that many orphanages, destitute homes and oldage homes are need of clothes and medicines. SAHYOG therefore decided to open a collection centre for used clothes and unused medicines. Helping Hands would help in sorting and distribution of these to the needy. We, therefore, request all our friends to kindly drop used clothes that are in good condition and also unused medicines (kindly check the expiry dates and ensure that they are not stale) at the following address:
SAHYOG
HIG 1212, 8th B Cross
Yelahanka Satellite Town

Update

Savitha, our first beneficiary is still under treatment at the General Hospital, Bellary. Mr.Mansoor of Helping Hands went there personally with the braces but on reaching there, the doctors had changed their views. They felt she required medicines worth Rs.12000/- for the treatment. Hence, Mansoor used our donation of Rs.7800/- as part contribition towards that cost. SAHYOG trustees felt that Savitha also needed to be homed in some good destitute home after discharge and should not be left on the streets again. Mansoor has also arranged for that. Thus, after her discharge, Savitha will be placed in a good destitute home.

SAHYOG thanks all the donors who have brought some light into the life of Savitha.

SAVITHA, our first case!

Though we decided to help Harinakshi, since she received help from her relatives meanwhile, she did not approach us. Mansoor, our friend, a young social activist referred to us another case through another NGO - Human Values of Hospet.

Savitha, a 19-year-old orphan lady was found on the roads of Hospet in a very hopeless condition. She was sick and unable to move. Human Values admitted her to Bellary Government Hospital and she is still undergoing treatment for various illnesses. During the treatment, the doctors diagnosed multiple fractures in her hip joint, which were all infected badly due to neglect. Right now, the doctors are treating the wounds and also helping Savitha to be on foot by giving physiotherapy. They have prescribed braces and rods to support Savitha to stand. Savitha is being treated free of cost at the hospital but the braces and rods have to be bought from a surgical store in Bangalore and they cost Rs.7800/-. Mansoor contacted SAHYOG and we released funds for the same.

With this small step, SAHYOG has started its charitable activities. Please subscribe to this blog and follow us. Join us in this holy journey.
