Our INITIATIVES

1)   I-Help Goa Outreach -

Reaching the underprivileged sections of the society and Orphanages and Oldage Homes all over the Goa and providing them with the basics necessities for the day to day need. We organize many social rejuvenating activities by involving them in those activities in order to make them joyful, happy and active.

2)   I-Help Educare -

I-Educare is a not for profit initiative, with the objective that providing quality education and educational opportunities are one of the best way to empower underprivileged children across Goa, India. Through this effort, the Foundation is committed to raising the level of education and literacy in rural and marginalized section of Goa and to helping disadvantaged children realize their full potential.   
 
The foundation through its I-Educare is a nurturing approach to education among the kids of the underprivileged section of society. I-Educare has also been an active supporter of promoting education among female children in the state. I-Educare aims to provide possibility for the rural and underprivileged children to pursue higher education or find gainful employment and thus build a strong foundation for the future of these children and alleviate themselves out of poverty. I-Educare functions on a grass-roots level, relying on community involvement and the support of innumerable volunteers and donors. Join us in our efforts to empower the rural youth of the State!

3)   I-Help Warriors -

I-Warriors is a self defence techniques workshop for Girls/Women for  their safety and empowerment event organized by I-Help Foundation Goa,conducted in-association with the experts of Self Defence Techniques.   It is a depressing but true fact that a lot of women feel afraid when walking the streets alone at night – all you have to do is ask around to realize just how many of us are fed-up with walking home clutching our keys between our fingers.   Of course, two men can be extremely unequally matched when it comes to strength and size, but the sad truth is that the majority of women can put up little fight against the majority of men purely because of their biological make-up. And that’s a scary thought..   Progress certainly needs to be made to reduce attacks – be they sexual assault or robbery – but as that doesn’t look likely any time soon, learning self-defence is a wise move for women of all ages.   I-Help Foundation believes all women should know basic self-defence techniques because it brings not only safety but confidence too.

4)   I-Help Clean Goa -

Cleaning plays a vital role in our daily lives. Be it personal hygiene, such as washing our hands before we eat or covering our mouths when we cough, or setting a standard for environmental cleanliness, effective cleaning is our first line of defense against viruses and infectious diseases.   Cleaning for Health & Wellness Effective cleaning should be an important part of a greater plan to create healthier indoor environments by eliminating the contaminants that can make people sick. Lack of hygiene and cleanliness is an open invitation to infectious disease.   The importance of cleanliness in our lives cannot be denied. Maintaining a clean environment is for the health of all humans, as their health completely depends on the atmosphere. A bad environment is solely responsible for spoiling the health of the people around. Dirt and disease go together. Pathogens breed and thrive in dirt; and the epidemic diseases which sweep over our country are generally the results of dirty habits and surroundings. Cleanliness is an absolute necessity for one’s self-respect and image – the same can be easily applied to a facility, business or establishment. We must maintain the cleanliness of our bodies, homes, buildings, surroundings and environment to have good health. George Bernard Shaw once said “Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.” How do you wish to see the world for yourself, the future of our generation and our environment?

6)   I-Help Blood Donation Camps & Club -

Blood donation is supreme service to humanity and it saves precious life.   On a daily basis, numerous accidents take place. At times lives may be lost due to shortage of blood. Even though we have blood banks in most cities, right type of blood may not be available. In emergencies, it is very difficult to find the right donor with the matching blood group causing the near and dear ones of the patient to run from pillar to post in search of blood.   Nearly 4 crore units of blood are required in India, but only 40 lakh units (1%) are actually available. More than 38,000 blood donations are needed per day in order to balance this deficit.   To address this issue, I-Help Foundation has started a social networking groups named ‘I-Help Blood Donors Club’ to help people in need of blood across Goa.This unique club has registered individuals who are willing to donate blood when required.   When someone needs blood, they can contact us or update the requirement in our whatsapp groups or can direct message us on our social media platforms and then we will share the requirement amongst the registered blood donors with us and contact them. People from any part of Goa can avail these facilities at any time.For more details, you can contact us at (+91) 8830624193 or mail us at ihelpblooddonation@gmail.com

Support Planting a Tree: 
 
Just about everything that we do – Driving, using computers, cooling cars and offices- increases the atmospheric levels of carbon-dioxide, which constantly affects our environment…for the worse. A single tree removes one metric tonne of carbon-dioxide from the air during its lifetime. Sponsor a tree and we will let you know where it is growing. 
Funding Required – Rs. 100 / $2 per sapling.
