In response to my donation, I received a message from Dr. Vikas Amte who serves as the Chief Functionary of Maharogi Sewa Samiti (MSS). An excerpt:
I feel extremely proud to inform you that by the end of last year,our organization had helped 2.5 million marginalized people through its constructive programs. Anandwan today shelters over 2100 differently-abled people (leprosy patients, visually challenged, orthopaedically challenged,hearing and speech impaired, orphans, senior citizens, and socio-economically backward people) and not only provides with basic necessities, but also encourages education and vocational training to help them regain their self-esteem and lead a dignified life. Today, after 64 years of hard work, the leprosy survivors and social rejects are specially independent and live off the land, have set world standards, for rehabilitation and coordinated some of India's most
daring and prominent ecological and social programs.
MSS has always stressed on being self-reliant and all the expenses associated with treatment, training and rehabilitation of the inmates had been met through the income generated by various in-house production units, agriculture produce and the contributions from well-wishers. However, today, despite all their efforts to be self-sustaining, MSS is unable to achieve its goal due to ever-increasing inflow of marginalized people from various corners of the country who want to seek solace at MSS.
Hence in order to achieve stability for its activities, MSS is striving to create a Constructive Social Capital of Rs. 55 Crores. The interest received on this fund will not only ensure adequate financial security, stability and progress of the various projects of MSS but also help expand the reach of its activities across a much larger cross-section of the society.
I, therefore, most hopefully, appeal to interested associates to kindly lend a helping hand to this project as generously as possible and establish a 'Pain-Friendship' with the Loneliest-the Last and the Least on this planet.
