The mission of Sahayta , a non-profit organization based in India, is to provide holistic (financial, emotional and social) support to people afflicted with cancer.
Sahayta means help and support in Hindi, and our intention is to instill confidence, hope and courage in the minds of patients and their family members. Our EMBLEM indicates our efforts to reach out wherever help is needed and light the light of life.

In India, there is no concept of health insurance. Patients, who
can afford it, pay for treatment out of pocket. Those who cannot, die.
|
However, even a few dollars go a long way in an all volunteer
organization . Our operating expenses are less than 10% which means more than 90% of your donation goes directly to people who need it. Consider this. A donation of
|
$5 will put another toy in our toy bank.
$60 will put a child through school for 1 year.
$100 will pay for 1 week of chemotherapy treatment for 1 child.
$500 will fund the entire treatment of a cancer patient.

Sahayta has helped over a 1000 people in the past nine years. With your support we can help a lot more.

Sangeetha, Neha and Karan's mother, was forced into prostitution
by her husband. When cancer incapacitated her, she was thrown out of the
house along with her children. Sahayta sponsored her treatment for a year
but she succumbed to metastasized cancer, leaving behind two children
with no one to look after them.
Sahayta legally adopted Neha and Karan and moved them to a local orphanage.
They are regularly visited by their Sahayta aunts whom they have become very
attached to. Without Sahayta, they would have been left to die on the streets.

8 year old Nitin was diagnosed with a malignant tumor on the left side
of the spinal cord. He underwent chemotherapy but needed additional surgery. His father who makes $100 per month as a salesman, could not
afford the $1000 treatment. Their relatives, who couldn’t afford the
extra financial burden, deserted them in their time of need. The family
was abandoned when they most needed support. As a result even Nitin’s
schooling was discontinued. Sahayta is now sponsoring Nitin’s treatment.
