FACTS: Sandhya Suraksha is a new home started by Nightingales Medical Trust (NMT) to provide safe shelter and take care of 70 homeless elderly women. The costs incurred to take care of an elderly woman is just INR 8000 per month.  

I have started this campaign to raise funds to bring joy to the lives of elderly women who are abandoned and need a home. INR 24000 can fund the stay, care and medical costs of one elderly destitute woman for months. The more we raise the longer we can take care of them.

Read on to discover how. I am doing this crowdfunding campaign in partnership with NMT. The Nightingales Medical Trust (NMT) is a well-established and reputed not-for-profit NGO working for the wellbeing of the elderly since 1998 in Bangalore. NMT is striving to keep family bonds intact through innovative and community-based support systems for elders of all socio-economic groups.

Sandhya Suraksha is a new home started by Nightingales Medical Trust (NMT) to provide safe shelter and take care of 70 Homeless elderly women. They need funding to take care of these women. Donations are eligible for tax exemption under 80G of the IT Act of 1961.


The money raised will be given directly after the campaign ends to NGO. They will then use the funds to support the destitute elderly women. I shall then send you an update about the woman/women who benefitted.

CASE STUDY :

Read on to discover whose life you could be transforming. These are women who have usually given their entire life to bringing up near and dear ones only to be shown the door in their twilight years. Giving them a home will bring joy to their lives and reaffirm their belief in humanity.


ABOUT ME & THIS CAMPAIGN:

My name is Khushi Shetty and am a Grade 12 student at Greenwood High International School in Bangalore. I have started this campaign to raise funds to bring joy to the lives of elderly women who are abandoned and need a home. This is being done in partnership with the NGO named Nightingales Medical Trust (NMT). They take care of the stay, care, food and medical costs of these destitute women in the city of Bangalore

I have been inspired to take up this cause and help destitute women as their plight at the latter part of their life is something terrible. By supporting my cause you are helping me provide the necessary funds to support them. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give and so I urge you to give me your support. A simple act of kindness can have a profound impact on someone else's life and with your help, I can truly make a difference here. After all, no act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted.

As an individual, I am trying to raise INR 25000 to fund the entire cost of taking care of one destitute woman for a period of 3 months. Let us make a difference together. If i collect more funds we can fund their care for a longer period of time.

COST SHEET :

The sheet below shows how the need for funding is just INR 8000 per woman per month. Help me raise INR 24000 or more and we can fund their stay for 3 months or more.

OUR PARTNER :


Nightingales Medical Trust (NMT) is a well-established and reputed not-for-profit NGO working for the wellbeing of the elderly since 1998 in Bangalore. NMT is striving to keep family bonds intact through innovative and community-based support systems for elders of all socio-economic groups. 

The projects include three dementia care facilities with capacity to provide care to 175 elders,  four Day Care and Elders Enrichment Centres; Elders Helpline being run in association with Bangalore City Police, 5 Dementia Day Care Centres(one of which is located at Hyderabad); 2 Centres for Active Ageing ,a project to combat financial insecurity among the elderly and other services like training in lifesaving services , beside assistance and advocacy and awareness programmes  for the cause of age care.

In recognition of their services, they have been designated by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment as the Regional Resource and Training Centre (RRTC) for training and building the capacity of age care organisations in five southern states/union territories in India.


With 20 years of experience in aged care, Nightingales Medical Trust has the confidence to address any challenges in the aged care field. Although care of completely destitute elderly will be a new experience, the Trust has the confidence that it will be successful in its effort.

TAX BENEFITS :

Funding for this campaign is eligible for tax breaks as the NGO is a registered trust and you can avail of benefits under section 80G of the IT act. Foreign funding is accepted too.

FEEDBACK  : 

To ensure that there is complete transparency I shall get a report from the NGO (this takes between 1 to 3 months usually after the funds are raised & transferred to them) telling me who benefitted from the funding. The details will then be posted on the UPDATES section of my campaign and will be in a format like the one below. As soon as I post an update, the platform will send an SMS and EMAIL alert to all the funders - i.e. to you. Click on the link on the email and you can read about who benefitted. That's transparent right.

The below image is an example of the FEEDBACK FORMAT that we will be shared with all my funders.





FAQs

Will we get to know the details of the persons who benefitted?

Yes. After the money has been collected it will be transferred by Fueladream to NGO. It will take from 30 to 90 days after that to get details of who the beneficiary was with details of them. Once I get this information from them I shall upload this on the UPDATES section of this campaign. You will then get an alert & can read details about the beneficiaries.

What are the crowdfunding charges?

There is a payment gateway fee of 3% (for both the Indian and foreign gateway). Fueladream charges 9% as crowdfunding charges. There is a GST component of 2.16%. There is also an initial fee of 3000 INR which is being waived for us. 

When do I get the receipts?

It takes up to 2-3 weeks after the campaign is closed for the monies to be transferred to NGO. The receipts will start getting processed about 4 to 6 weeks AFTER the campaign is closed and will be sent to you directly.

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 a 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

Updates have been committed to after the campaign ends.
This is an open forum for all funders of this campaign.
