Poverty is the lack of funds amongst a population of humans, forcing them to live in conditions unimaginable to the most of us. All the humans are born the same, but seldom live the same lives. For some, the life is a breeze, for others it is a bed of thorns. Some live without worry, others die of worries. But fortunately we all have a feeling we call empathy, something in our brain, which makes us imagine the life of others and put ourselves in their shoes and makes us to care for the unfortunates, makes us to help them. Such is the Relief India Trust; striving to give those a chance on life who never might get one place to live in.
You were born in a good hospital, you were raised with care, you received great medical care and you were educated so you know the good from bad; but, all are not the same. Around 55% of the total population of India lives below the poverty line today and Relief India Trust is determined to give them a life. It might seem like just a number, a mere statistic, but had you actually seen what the life down there is, you would have realized the luck you had of being born in the right place. It is our fellow humans that live in slums; they drink what we won't even consider to dip our fingers in, they stay hungry for days and when they do eat, it is never proper food. There are people out there who have lost a limb for the lack of a rupee worth of medicine. There are people who live with their diseases and die of them while the pill that could have saved them sits in our cabinets.
The Chance, the New Hope
Some might be fortunate living in the mansions, some might be unfortunate to die in the slums; nonetheless, we are all humans and we all have the capability to help those who need it, and it is only us who can do it. If we all choose to devote our surplus to them, we can help them through the life. It is the nature of man to feel uneasy when he sees someone uneasy, this is the feeling that led to the creation of Relief India trust, and this is what makes it function.
The Man Who Makes the Difference
The Relief India Trust is like a platform for you, it cannot function without the man who feels for his fellow humans, a common man is the man who makes the difference, who supports a life when he has some extra funds, who grabs the hand of a thalassemia inflicted person, who feeds the one who hasn't seen food for a week, who helps get clean water to those who were dying of water borne diseases. Just like an NGO, Relief India Trust gets the funds it needs from various sources of which independent help like yours is the major source.
