THE PROBLEM
#Barely 100 km away from Mumbai, in the villages of Wada, Palghar Taluka is a tribal settlement.
#They live in huts made of wood, thatch, and mud. The homes are very flimsy.
#Their washrooms are a structure that has 4 small bamboo sticks that are thatched.
#These homes give way during the monsoons & offer no protection against rodents, snakes, etc.
#Their quality of life and health also suffers.
THE SOLUTION
They need better homes like the one above. Let us come together and make it happen. The cost to make a proper house is INR 2.25L. Net of govt subsidies and funding from Rotary clubs a deficit amount of INR 40000 is needed.
- The Rotary District 3141 has taken up a target to build 500 houses in the village.
- The families will get a concrete house made of brick & mortar and a separate toilet.
- Government of India, under the ‘Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin (PMAY-G),’ has offered INR 1.2L as a subsidy for them to construct houses and toilets.
- The houses will be made with the assistance of the panchayat and the DC's office.

ABOUT ME
My name is Tanvi Sait.
I am 20 years old and a student and Jai Hind College. I am currently in my third year.
I was surprised to learn about the plight of tribals located just 1.5 hours from Mumbai.
They live in poverty and also in extremely deplorable conditions. They are financially not in a position to make proper homes. This was their plight before COVID-19 and now it must be far worse. By building concrete homes, we're ensuring they at least have a proper shelter and a proper toilet for life. This will dramatically change their lives.
What also motivated me was the cost. Just INR 40000 is what is required to change their lives as the balance amount is being taken care off by the govt and Rotary clubs. Let's come together and give them a secure future with a home. Please fund and support my campaign. Pl also do share this on your social media and spread the word - it matters.
Another thing that really motivated me, was to learn about crowdfunding. I watch a lot of Shark Tank and have heard a lot about start ups funding their businesses through Kickstarter, the global crowdfunding platform. Crowdfunding is a really interesting concept, to have people invest in you/ your cause without knowing you or having tried your product/service really amazes me. I would like to know all the key details to make sure I am on the right path here. Besides this, social work really excites me. I would really like to take up a noble cause like this and help people improve their standard of living.
Thank you,
Tanvi Sait.

How does crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding in India is a relatively new concept & is growing very quickly.
It’s a concept that allows a large number of funders (like you) to fund an idea or a cause or event by giving small amounts of money online. Fueladream.com is a crowdfunding platform in India that allows for such pooling of funds. You can fund innovations & ideas on FuelADream and be the first to get these products or make them come true. You can also do a good turn by funding charities and causes through crowdfunding. When you fund a charity it’s more like a donation & you get small innovative rewards like a shout-out on an FB page or a thank you email from the beneficiaries.
