Help Laxmi Build A Home For Acid Attack Survivors
"When dreams die, they do not make much noise. When hopes are crushed, the signs are soundless."
Acid corrodes gently. Eating away at her skin, bones and her dreams. The rest of her life begins now. A battle against unending, excruciating pain, deformity, social negligence, ostracisation and an invisible justice system. When a girl is attacked by acid, she is also relegated to the fringes of society, consigned to its dark recesses. Often, forced to hide away from society.
It is these faces that Chhanv Foundation and Stop acid attacks attempts to bring to light, from behind the veil, neglect and fear. Stop Acid Attacks is a call, a campaign against the brutality of acid violence. When we launched on March 8th, 2013, a determined resolve to bring these unseen, unknown stories to the fore, guided us.
Chhanv Foundation works as a bridge between survivors and the society, as the two come to stand isolated from each other when a girl is attacked with acid. The foundation provides them urgent and adequate medical and legal aid, and rehabilitate them by finding alternate sources of income. It also connects them with potential donors and supporters for these urgent needs. Most significantly, the organization's endeavor is to motivate and strengthen the survivors. To reassure them that confidence can be the spring in their step, and faith can fuel their dreams.

Dear Supporters,
Thank you for all your love & immense support, which you all have showered for the cause. Baby Ayesha, who ingested acid few months ago, was going through the medical recovery at Apollo Hospital, Delhi & provided with the accomodation at Sheroes Home has completed the first phase of her treatment, she has been assisted financially to meet up the regular expenses for the treatment as the asking expenses were quite more than the funds raised for her. As the first phase of treatment has been completed, she has returned with her parents to her native place, New AlipurDwar, hopefully the second phase would start three months later.
Please find the more details about her on
https://milaap.org/fundraisers/saveaaesha
For the other survivors we are conducting the soft skill development programme probably in the third week of August, it would be all around the Personal Branding, Verbal & Non-verbal communication, Team management & much more. The training would involve approximately 7-8 survivors. We would be making arrangements for the training, stay & accomodation for the trainees & trainers at Sheroes Home.
Your geniality & mildness is highly appreciated.

Dear Friends,
At the moment we are helping the little girl Ayesha who ingested acid few months ago, going through medical recovery in Delhi. She and her parents feel privileged to stay at the Sheroes Home at Noida while the treatment is going on. Major surgeries which were supposed to bring the girl from the critical stage of injury to safe has already been conducted. Now every week she has to go the hospital for the rehabilitation her operated organs in her stomach. In such cases Sheroes Home has been a project worthwhile to help provide accommodation and assistance when months of treatment is under the process.
Our next objective is developing a team of volunteers who can help the girls with learning new skills. These may be the general skills of craft making, artifacts or the soft skills that can help them learn to respond efficiently in professional environment.
Those of you interested in volunteering for the acid attack survivors, may please mail us at stopacidattacks@gmail.com or contact directly at +919958066951.
We appreciate your concern and kindness that you offer us to work on our cause.

Dear Supporters,
Thank you once again for all the love and support you have shown towards the cause.
The project has been running at a good pace, the trauma relief center is all settled and currently the majority of the expenses are incurred on the survivors' medical and miscellaneous expenses as there are a lot of expenses like travelling, accommodation, etc. incurred during their course of the treatment.
We would like to thank all of you for your generous contributions.

Parth
