Mahadevi Foundation is an NGO supported by eDominer & the Bansal Family. Under Mahadevi Foundation we help & support the poor and needy by collaborating with global NGOs and a few local/national establishments. We also organize our own social activities at times. We are just doing our bit in a small way hoping it will make a difference.

Chirstmas Celebrations – 2021
Approx 65 million of India’s population are slum dwellers. The less privileged. We just decided to be their Santa and distribute chocolates to the children in a nearby slum. And all of them merrily greeted “Merry Christmas” 🙂

Support Ahmad’s Wife & Son
Ahmad passed away at the tender age of 36, leaving behind his mother, sister, wife & 2-month old son. An unimaginable tragedy. Ahmad was the only earning member of his family (his father had passed away years ago). This fundraiser will support Ahmad’s wife, Shakeeba Javed. She has not yet come to terms with this personal catastrophe. She has to rebuild, almost everything, a monumental task ahead of her. Let’s support her so that she can give quality education & life to their son. Ahmad was very kind-hearted and always willing to help, much loved by the SQL community. It is our turn to support him now. Please contribute whole-heartedly. Please share and spread the word.

Child Sponsorship Continued
We are extremely happy to be able to continue sponsoring Revathi & Hasanur in their efforts to receive an education. For Revathi, 2021 marks the 10th year of sponsorship, started in 2011 – this is overwhelming. Education is every child’s birthright – Let’s do as much as we can. Like, Share & spread the word – it may encourage someone to take up child education sponsorship. If each one of us sponsors one child, it will be a giant leap towards eradicating illiteracy.

Lighthouse For The Blind
Nov 18, 2019. Me and my family decided to celebrate our son’s birthday with an institution titled Lighthouse For The Blind. It is an education centre for the visually challenged. These students are born to parents who are mostly daily wage earners struggling to survive in the slums of Calcutta and remote villages of West Bengal, as a result the guardians cannot bear the educational expenses for their sightless children. We try to support them in multiple ways, and today was a very satisfying experience, once again! And yes, they sang the Happy Bday song too 🙂

Our Sponsored Child #1
Education is every individual’s birth right. Hundreds and thousands of children in India are deprived of basic education due to poverty. We sponsor two children via World Vision India. One of our sponsored child is Revathi. We started sponsoring her from 2011 and as of 2019, it has been 8 years now. When we took her responsibility, she was probably in class two or three. She is now in class twelve. Recently Amit Bansal met Revathi in Tamil Nadu. It was a great moment for us. We met her at WVI project site. She was accompanied by her parents. Just a thought: if each one of us sponsor one child, we can ensure education for everyone.

Our Sponsored Child #2
And here is our second sponsored child, Hasanur, from Guwahati, Assam. He lives with his parents in an urban area. Both the parents are self-employed, but they earn so little, it is impossible for them to provide adequately for their family. We hope our sponsorship will now enhance the living conditions of the child and the community, and also ease the burden of the parents and bring joy and hope into the lives of these people.
