Relief India trust - The fighters Among Us

All women of India do not get their proper rights, documented by the government. In some remote areas men force their family women to do the labor and to take the burden of their homes on them. Some people think women as their property and do not treat them well, they do not give them their basic rights and behave in an inhumane way. The Relief India Trust is struggling to fight for the women rights and trying its best to provide equal rights to them as given by the religion. 

Health issues of women

Women belonging to rich families get the better health facilities. Hospitals with modern health facilities are located in most of the cities of India and the rich families are benefitted well. Government hospitals are not enough in numbers and facilities to solve the health problems of large population. Wealthy people can afford the private hospitals and medicine, but poor families can’t. Number of doctors and medical staff are also not enough to treat this large sick population at a same time. Some people die waiting for their number, and do not have the treatment on time. Some women die during pregnancy due to complications and at delivery time due to no or less facilities available to them. The Relief India Trust is also working to provide better health facilities to all the population especially the females. This trust is helping to provide basic facilities in hospitals with the help of non-profit organizations and stakeholders.

Food and water issues

Most of the population living in remote areas does not have the proper food necessary for them and their children too. The food they are provided with is unhygienic and do not have the proper nutritional value. A balance diet is necessary to keep the living being physically and mentally fit. Good or nutritious diets provide the body with the elements required to make the immune system working. For example, iron is required for the production of blood cells, and the blood cells play an important role in the defense mechanism of the body, so if there is iron deficiency the defense of the body will be compromised and people will be more prone to diseases. Due to unhygienic food, people are being trapped in food related disease like salmonella, campylobacter and botulism etc. Some of the bacterial disease spread through water, so the drinking water must be clean and free from pathogens. The Relief India Trust is helping the people of India by providing them clean water and nutritious food.

Help of government

This trust takes it as a responsibility to help the people and provide them with the necessities of life, so that they can live their lives free from miseries and problems. If the people are free from diseases and other financial problems they can play their role in the progress of the country. In this way this trust is also helping the government of the India and facilitating it in providing basic necessities of life for all the people of the country.

How Relief India Trust Helps Victims of Human Rights Violations

What is the human rights violation?

This has become a very vicious thing these days; it is called a human rights violation. The answer is simple, people who treat other people as nothing more than objects to be bought and sold. This is a very sad truth. When one human doesn’t value the life of another or their freedom. They are mere items that can be bought and sold like commodities. This I know many people will tell me that it is a thing of the past and people are educated now and all this has stopped. Unfortunately, my answer to them is that just because we cannot see them doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

  

How we work to protect the victims?

At the Relief India Trust, we have seen many such incidents wherein the human rights are blatantly violated and people are bought and sold like commodities. Well, it may not be done as openly in a market, like it used to happen about a 100 years back, but it does happen. Now it happens in the comfort of a home where no prying eyes can see what is going on. There are many people who earn a livelihood by just trading people; they consider themselves as legitimate businessmen. Unfortunately, by the time we at the Relief India Trust intervene, the main players are long gone.

The people who are left behind are either the smaller pawns of this big game or the people who are bought and sold. They do not have much answer left to give. Most of them tell us that they came from poverty and their parents did not have any money to even feed them, after that they were sold to someone their family knew. They would be sold with the promise of a job; however, when they come over, the story becomes different. The children no matter what their age is, are sold for doing household chores and prostitution.

I remember this one story of a girl who came to us at Relief India Trust. She was sold by her stepfather to a middleman, who then sold her to a couple. The couple was  working for MNC and needed a maid to clean and do household chores. The girl was a little older than 9 and was made to do all the work around the house. And if they considered that her cleaning was not good, then she would be beaten and locked up without food and water.

When we found her it was almost 4 years that she had survived this torture. Now that she was older the women even forced her husband into raping this young girl. She had nowhere to go and so she silently put up with the torture, till one day a friend of the couple found out about this ordeal. He then contacted the police and that was how the girl was rescued. Now tell me does education have anything to do with how people treat each other? It is time that we should take a stand for the rights of people who cannot speak for themselves and help them out.

How Relief India Trust Celebrates Birthdays of Poor Kids

I remember, when I was a kid, I used to wait for my birthday every year. Then I would get a new dress, and many presents for my birthday. I loved the cake and many more delicacies to eat. Then my friends would come over for the birthday party, and I would show them the shiny new toys that I’ve got as gifts, and we all used to play together. In the last 25 odd years, things have changed. Now kids like dressing up every week to go out with friends or family. The specialty of having a birthday is waded off. Now it’s only about giving the most expensive toys to the kids. 

Birthdays of poor children

But there is a section of society which still deals with the birthdays, in a very different way. These are poor children. These are kids living in slums or on the streets. They also should feel special on that one special day. Shouldn’t they? This is why we at the Relief India Trust celebrate birthdays for these poor kids. We may not be able to celebrate for everyone on the exact day, but we at the Relief India Trust chose one day in a month where the birthdays of everyone born in that month are celebrated.

Celebrating a birthday

A simple gesture, but the smiles that we get in return are absolutely priceless. That’s why we all love the day when this is done. All our volunteers pour out to help decorate the place; people get the cake, the balloons and all the work revolving around a birthday. The children are specially brought in on that day and then told as to why they have been called.

The children who are celebrating their birthdays, get new clothes, toys and so on. All this comes, of course, from our donors. They are the ones who make it such a success. After that we all sing songs for the kids and then play games together. The children, as you can imagine become really happy. They probably have never celebrated their birthday so far, and this was the first time they did. All the work that we at the Relief India Trust do is not for any financial gain. We do it for the smiles that we get from people who we help out.

You can also contribute

This smile is what gets us going and making us do more in life. We live to make them happy and that is all we expect when we arrange any of these events like birthday celebration for poor kids. Anyone who is interested can join us on that day and can become part of our efforts and can share the smiles we get. You can volunteer in any way on that day, no gesture is too small. Like I said the only reason we do it is for the smile and you will also feel that thing in the heart, what you get when you see someone genuinely happy by the gesture that you have just done.

Ending Poverty - Relief India Trust on a Mission to Make This World A Better Place

Poverty is the truth of life; there is half the Indian population out there living in conditions that cannot be considered appropriate for humans. Poverty is the imbalance of funds among the people of the society; it is the entropic state of the society which it attains when some people gather all the funds while others lose all of them and then the rich get richer and the poor get poorer until the balance is reset; which is what the Relief India Trust is here for. We all have something in our brain that tells us to help those in distress and to feel their pain, but unfortunately only a few of men follow this voice in the head and even fewer set out to do charity work

 This World Isn’t Perfect

• You were born in a medically equipped hospital while there are children being born on the streets.
• You were educated and taught to distinguish good and the bad; you were trained by experts to thrive and never to fail while there are children out there who don’t even know what not to drink to remain healthy, nor know how to obtain the healthy water and food.
• You are fully covered, you seldom get a disease, yet you pay visits to the doctor even for the minor itches while there are people out there who might die today due to an infection they had just by virtue of the garbage near their home.
• You are getting healthier every day, fattening up while there are people undergoing cachexia, emaciating to their bones under the effect of the parasites that live inside their bodies.
• There are people getting AIDS and STDs just because they do not know how to avoid them while you will never get any such diseases because you already knew about it.

The World Could be perfect though

Relief India Trustand many other NGOs are working hard to make it easier for the people to live a normal and healthy life. Many measures have been done to change the lives of the people living under the poverty line and it has been estimated that one day, there would be less poor and more people above the line of poverty who would come into the program of further helping the cause and in this way, slowly and progressively, the world would be fixed.

• Relief India Trust is working to educate the children of the unfortunates, giving them a future and a new hope, so they might live among the modern people in the modern houses instead of the slums.
• Efforts have been made by the trust to gather all kinds of medical supplies and manpower to get in a position to treat the people living in the slums, so there would be no more poverty and no more diseases.
• Relief India organization is trying to provide the people with advanced sanitary conditions so they could live parasite-free and in a cleaner, better environment.

Working To Make This World A Better, Relief India Trust on a Mission to End Poverty

Poverty is the lack of funds amongst a population of humans, forcing them to live in conditions unimaginable to the most of us. All the humans are born the same, but seldom live the same lives. For some, the life is a breeze, for others it is a bed of thorns. Some live without worry, others die of worries. But fortunately we all have a feeling we call empathy, something in our brain, which makes us imagine the life of others and put ourselves in their shoes and makes us to care for the unfortunates, makes us to help them. Such is the Relief India Trust; striving to give those a chance on life who never might get one place to live in.

The Tragedy of Life

You were born in a good hospital, you were raised with care, you received great medical care and you were educated so you know the good from bad; but, all are not the same. Around 55% of the total population of India lives below the poverty line today and Relief India Trust is determined to give them a life. It might seem like just a number, a mere statistic, but had you actually seen what the life down there is, you would have realized the luck you had of being born in the right place. It is our fellow humans that live in slums; they drink what we won’t even consider to dip our fingers in, they stay hungry for days and when they do eat, it is never proper food. There are people out there who have lost a limb for the lack of a rupee worth of medicine. There are people who live with their diseases and die of them while the pill that could have saved them sits in our cabinets.

The Chance, the New Hope

Some might be fortunate living in the mansions, some might be unfortunate to die in the slums; nonetheless, we are all humans and we all have the capability to help those who need it, and it is only us who can do it. If we all choose to devote our surplus to them, we can help them through the life. It is the nature of man to feel uneasy when he sees someone uneasy, this is the feeling that led to the creation of Relief India trust, and this is what makes it function.

The Man Who Makes the Difference

The Relief India Trust is like a platform for you, it cannot function without the man who feels for his fellow humans, a common man is the man who makes the difference, who supports a life when he has some extra funds, who grabs the hand of a thalassemia inflicted person, who feeds the one who hasn’t seen food for a week, who helps get clean water to those who were dying of water borne diseases. Just like an NGO, Relief India Trust gets the funds it needs from various sources of which independent help like yours is the major source.
