Feel free to ask Campaigner for a new update on this Fundraiser.
Sunil Satpute, though not challenged, was born in extreme poverty. With an alcoholic father, and a mother who worked in domestic help to support her kids, huts and open sewage pipes was a norm for Sunil. But it was up to him to prove himself, with a college degree and joined an NGO to work towards the education of street children. He then took up social work full time.
Determined that no child goes through the same, Sunil decided to give back to the world. He learned that the state of the education and living conditions of the mentally and physically challenged is quite disheartening. Most of them are a burden and a disappointment to their parents. With their potential wasting away, they grow up without the essential help to develop skills as not many agee to invest time and money, especially for the autistic and mentally incapable. Sunil then took it upon himself to provide the necessary care and treatment these challenged children require, and he was successful in his mission.
Sunil Satpute founded Gharkul to take care of the educational and vocational needs of differently-abled children from Mumbai’s slums, who would otherwise spend their lives within the four walls of their homes.
Gharkul is based in Santacruz. With a special curriculum, and vocation, special needs, and requirements, classrooms are rented to provide lessons to children with down's syndrome, learning difficulties, and special needs.
But as Gharkul grew, people became aware, more and more children started coming in. Funding was running out, and additional staff was required to take care of the home. Therapists, special educators, clinical psychologists and more need to be hired. With proper help and care, these children and young adults can acquire skills and make something of themselves.
Groceries and meals are a big part of Gharkul and due to insufficient funding, there's not enough for everyone. They need proper nutrition along with education to grow mentally and physically. Won't you lend a hand?
Donate groceries, help challenged children grow up with the necessary education and help.
