Yaashika Charity Society

As I said in my last blog, Access to safe drinking water is not just a basic necessity but also a fundamental human right critical for global public health. Water levels in India are very concerning, and making sure people have clean drinking water is really important for keeping everyone healthy. 

The Yaashika Charity Society in India is a non-profit organization dedicated to various philanthropic activities aimed at serving the underprivileged communities in the city. The society focuses on initiatives such as providing education, healthcare, and basic necessities to those in need. Through fundraising events, donations, and volunteer efforts, Yaashika Charity Society strives to make a positive impact on the lives of marginalized individuals and families in Mumbai. Recently, they have been creating water pumps in underprivileged communities in rural parts of Mumbai and Rajasthan. Their continuous work and dedication to providing clean water inspires me to help too. Although I was born in India, I was primarily raised in the US. Because of that, I have always wanted to connect more with my heritage, and providing for the Yaashika Charity Society will both connect me and let me support my country. 

While I may not be living in India, I have found my own way to help support the cause. On March 8th, my band performed with another local band at a church and raised money to donate to both this charity and a local food bank. In total, we raised $850 and donated half of it to each charity. Raising money for charity brought me a sense of joy and accomplishment because we are helping improve the lives of the underprivileged, both locally and globally. Our bands plan on doing another event like this in the future, and hope to raise even more money this time.
