Grant A Wish. Make A Seriously Ill Child Feel Better.
We believe a wish experience can be a game-changer. The fulfilment of a long cherished wish not just gives these ill children joy but makes treatment more effective and aids their recovery. It makes them believe that anything is possible—even the future. We asked our customers to be Secret Santa to these children and matched every donation we received spreading joy and healing to thousands of children in the festive season.
About
Make-A-Wish Foundation® of India since 1995 has granted the wishes of 61,458 children across its 10 offices in the country. For these children—between 3 and 18 years—painful treatments and endless rounds of hospitals is a way of life, and the fulfilment of a long cherished wish not just gives them joy but has a therapeutic impact, making treatment more effective and helping their recovery.
Let's Defeat Breast Cancer Together
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer detected in rural India. However, due to lack of awareness and adequate screening programs, many cases are only detected in an advanced stage. The SPARSH Rural Hopsital's outreach program conducts cancer awareness sessions across 48 villages in Maharashtra. During Breast Cancer Awareness month, we asked our customers to join our fight against the disease, matching every contribution we received for the cause. Because together, we are tougher than cancer.
About Sparsh
SPARSH Rural Hospital's cancer diagnostic and referral facilities conduct outreach programmes and early detection cancer awareness sessions across 48 villages in Osmanabad and Latur districts in Maharashtra. The diagnosed women are then connected to different government schemes which further assist them in their treatment at the Nargis Dutt Memorial Cancer Hospital.
Together We Can Help Rebuild Lives
Unprecedented heavy rainfall caused flooding in many parts of the country, claiming hundreds of lives. Lakhs of people lost their homes and were forced to live in emergency relief camps. We wanted to help raise funds to give these flood displaced people a chance at a new beginning by focusing on immediate relief, food, hygiene kits, shelter and child protection. Customers were encouraged to donate to the cause and we matched their contributions doing our little bit to help those in their darkest hour.
