Impact Guru - Help for Young Lives Fund
It is a tragic reality that children, particularly those under 5 years old, are vulnerable to infectious diseases like malaria, pneumonia, diarrheas, HIV, and tuberculosis. These illnesses can be devastating, and unfortunately, often result in the loss of young lives. Even older children face significant threats, such as non-communicable diseases, injuries, and conflict. At ImpactGuru, we understand the heart-wrenching toll that these diseases take on children and their families. We have witnessed firsthand the struggles of those who cannot afford the medical treatment needed to save their loved ones. It is a heartbreaking situation that demands our attention and action. We are committed to bridging the gap between donors and fundraisers, to provide vital support to those affected by these wretched conditions. We urge you to join us in this mission to provide hope and healing to those in need. With your help, we can ease the burden of organ failures, enable patients to access the care they so desperately require, and raise awareness about these diseases and their prevention. It is true that every little bit counts and even the smallest monthly donation can make a significant difference in the lives of thousands of patients. Your generosity can help alleviate the financial strain of post-hospitalization expenses, such as prolonged medication, diagnostics, rehabilitation therapies, and follow-up doctor visits/consultations, which can vary from disease to disease. We implore you to consider the immense impact that your contribution can make toward saving the lives of innocent children who are suffering from multiple diseases. Your support can give them a fighting chance to overcome their illnesses and live the life they deserve. Let us come together to make a meaningful difference in the world, one donation at a time.

Samiksha Foundation - Caring for Children with Cancer Trust Fund
Knowledge Empowers and Happiness Heals Our vision and belief is driven by the high success rate of childhood cancer treatment (nearly 85%). "A creative learning initiative for children with cancer and their caregivers in India, providing educational, spiritual, and creative support to children while they undergo treatment for cancer and other life-limiting conditions, increasing their happiness quotient through learning and creative activity." This helps increase the children’s self-esteem and confidence, allowing them to face the challenges of their medical condition with hope and dignity, improving the quality of life of their families, and empowering them to return to the mainstream without fear or apprehension. Most importantly, we help them return to school in the right grade after their time in the hospital. Our mission is driven by the need for non-medical support and schooling in hospital environments. It is specially designed for children aged between 4 and 16 with cancer or certain non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and life-limiting conditions. At Samiksha, we wish to make the life of the children and their caregivers a fulfilling experience. Our team consists of creative professionals, local teachers, skilled volunteers and a strong committed core team with leadership and focus. Our motto is: “The pursuit of knowledge is key to their pursuit of happiness.”

Impact Guru - Cancer Funds
This project aims at providing financial help to patients in India, suffering from Cancer, Impact Guru identifies these patients who need financial support for their Hospital Expenses, and supports them through crowdfunding and raising grants. Cancer is a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body. Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells. Normally, human cells grow and multiply (through a process called cell division) to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place. Sometimes this orderly process breaks down, and abnormal or damaged cells grow and multiply when they shouldn’t. The estimated number of incident cases of cancer in India for the year 2022 was found to be 14,61,427 (crude rate:100.4 per 100,000). In India, one in nine people is likely to develop cancer in his/her lifetime. Lung and breast cancers were the leading sites of cancer in males and females, respectively. Among the childhood (0-14 yr) cancers, lymphoid leukemia (boys: 29.2% and girls: 24.2%) was the leading site. The incidence of cancer cases is estimated to increase by 12.8 percent in 2025 as compared to 2020. Globally, cancer is the leading cause of death, accounting for 10 million, or one in six, deaths in 2020, according to WHO. In India, too, cancer is the leading cause of death, with 7.84 lakh deaths recorded in 2018, and 13.92 lakh cases reported in 2020. As the cost break-up shows, cancer is an expensive illness to manage. Besides, screening for early detection, diagnostics, and treatment, it involves posttreatment care and rehabilitation. Doctor’s Consultation Fee: General Physician: INR 500 to 1000 | USD $ 7 to $ 14 Oncologist: INR 800 to 3000 | USD $ 10 to $ 37 Diagnostic Tests: Screening: This involves conducting tests regularly to look for cancer before any signs or symptoms appear. These include a wide range of different body parts, such as mammography (breast), Pap test (cervical), colonoscopy (colorectal), dermoscopy (skin), and PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test (prostate), among others. Mammography: INR 1000 to 4000 |USD $ 12 to $ 49 Pap Test: INR 500 to 2500 | USD $ 7 to $ 31 Colonoscopy: INR 500 to 2500 |USD $ 7 to $ 31 PSA Test: INR 500 to 1000 |USD $ 7 to $ 12 Biopsy: If screening has not already revealed cancer, a biopsy is conducted, which essentially involves taking a tissue sample to test it for the presence of cancerous cells. The cost depends on the type of cancer and the complexity of the biopsy conducted. INR 2000 to 4000 | USD $ 24 to $ 49 INR 8000 to 10000 |USD $ 98 to $ 122 Imaging: for further investigations Ultrasound: INR 500 |USD $ 7 CT Scan: INR 1,000 to 15,000 |USD $ 12 to $ 182 (depending on the body part) PET CT Scan: INR 5,000 to 25,000 |USD $ 61 to $ 305 MRI: INR 5,000 to 12,000 |USD $ 61 to $ 146 Fitness/blood test: To find out about the fitness and strength of the body, blood tests are conducted.
