NGO Operations

Q) What defines an NGO's core principles?

At its core, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) is a compassionate and autonomous entity, transcending the confines of governmental influence. It is like a caring friend reaching out to help and support others without government involvement.

An NGO aims to ignite meaningful change by addressing worldwide pressing social and humanitarian concerns. NGOs work passionately to create a better world for everyone. They focus on various issues that touch our hearts, such as providing healthcare and education, standing up for the rights of the less fortunate, helping the poor, and making our communities safer. Embodying the spirit of benevolence and unity, NGOs strive to create a brighter, more equitable future for all.

What is the mission and vision of Dream Girl Foundation?

At the heart of the Dream Girl Foundation, we passionately believe in the power of compassion and empathy to uplift the lives of underprivileged children, heal their suffering, and rekindle hope in those who feel lost. Our mission is to provide access to quality education for children, life-saving healthcare for those unable to afford it, and share the gift of joy with those in despair. We are grateful to our incredible network of individual supporters and corporate partners who generously embrace our vision, “We only have what we give,” and join us in our relentless pursuit to eradicate illiteracy and ill health, ultimately creating a brighter, more inclusive world for all.

Who has the power and obligation to guarantee that the mission and vision of "Dream Girl Foundation" are fulfilled?

Our NGO’s trustees are Mr Harish Kumar and Mrs Kamlesh Madaan. Mr Harish Kumar founded the Dream Girl Foundation with the goal of providing children with access to quality healthcare and education. With his tremendous help, he has now begun to contribute money from his savings so that children from families with low incomes won’t fall behind due to a lack of resources. He is particularly worried about the emotional and financial needs of girl children’s health. In order for people to take action for the betterment of children, he has organised a number of campaigns to raise public awareness of the requirements of their own children.

Mrs Kamlesh, a teacher in a private school, has always had a soft spot for kids. When she initially started teaching at Dream Girl Foundation with Mr Harish Kumar, she was deeply affected by the situation of the young children. Being a woman herself, she knows the struggles of being a female in our country. So when she saw the condition of  girl child at the NGO, she decided to take action to help them.

What percentage of donations go directly to programs and services?

We believe in transparency in the use of our funds and want to make sure the donations given o us are being utilised for the main cause of our organisation. 

Through the fundraising campaign, we can collect the total amount suggested by the doctors for the treatment of children. We ensure that the funds raised are being used effectively and efficiently to cover the cost of medical treatment. Any remaining amount is used to support another good cause.

 

Can you provide information on the total cost of one month of a child's education, and a breakdown of the different expenses involved?

500 rupees are spent on a child’s education in one month. These funds are divided into three groups:

“Stationary”- refers to the price of the child’s necessary school supplies, such as textbooks, notebooks, pens, pencils, and other stationary goods.

“Refreshments”- refers to the price of feeding the child food and drink during school hours. To keep the youngster nourished and energised, this includes a mid-afternoon meal or snacks.

“School Uniforms”- This category covers the price of buying the child’s school uniform or other attire necessary for school attendance.

How do you ensure that the donation or funds for health projects are used efficiently?

Our organisation does not directly give funds to parents. Instead, we make a demand draft to the hospital or medical facility where the parents’ child is receiving treatment, and the receipt of the same is given to the parents. The hospitals affiliated with us are AIIMS and Sir Gangaram Hospital, but we also provide funding to children getting treatment in other hospitals.

This approach ensures that the funds are used for the specific purpose for which they were intended, which in this case is to cover the child’s medical expenses. By making the payment directly to the hospital, we can be assured that the funds are used for the child’s medical needs and not diverted elsewhere.

Children Education and Healthcare

How many children does your education centre cater to?

Our initiatives are created to give kids who may otherwise encounter learning obstacles like poverty, a lack of resources, or discrimination. We aim to guarantee that every kid has the chance to realize their full potential because we think that education is a basic right for all children, especially girl children.

No. of Children Enrolled Center Location
110 Gurugram Sector-9
150 Gurgram Sector-57
35 Virar East

What is the age group of the children coming to your centre?

Children from 3 to 14 years come to our centre.

Where do all the children involved in your projects stay?

Dream Girl Foundation primarily serves underprivileged communities by offering education and health support. While children attending our education centres are typically from nearby slums, participants in the health project can come from various locations. Our organisation aims to improve the lives of disadvantaged children and families in need, regardless of their location.

Do you also provide food and clothes to the children?

We offer some refreshments to the children who attend our education centres, and they also distribute in-kind donations such as toys and clothing to the children. Providing access to basic necessities such as food and clothing is essential to ensure that children are able to attend school and receive an education. This support can help to remove barriers that might otherwise prevent children from attending school and help to improve their overall well-being.

Where do you come to know about the medical cases from?

We learn about the medical problems of children through a variety of sources, such as referrals from doctors or hospitals, community outreach initiatives, or our own research and inquiries by surveys. 

When a case is found, we evaluate the patient’s financial and medical requirements to see if they qualify for assistance. If they do, we either start a fundraising drive or use the donated money we have collected to assist them.

In the health project, do you take only the children from Delhi? Or children of other states can also come and seek help?

Children from all states can seek help from our health project, and the project is not limited to serving only children from Delhi. We aim to reach a wider amount of children and help children from all over India, regardless of their state of origin.

How many cases have been dealt with by the funds raised by the organisation?

Our organisation has been working on providing young kids with better education and health facilities. Thanks to the efforts of our hardworking staff and kind donators and volunteers, we have been able to provide help to 40 cases in total. 

You may see some recent cases here: https://dreamgirlfoundation.ngo/recent-cases/

Can you provide some success stories or case studies of the NGO's work?

Surya Vihar, Gurgaon, a destitute and unincorporated region of Haryana, is the house of many families who belong to the labour force. The families here lead a hard and labour-intensive life, labouring all day for only two square dinners per day. They have to put in a lot of effort to survive. This area is an unauthorised area, so there were no schools nearby where young children could be sent to study. Many parents felt that spending money on their offspring’s education was a loss of money and did not even do so. The only choices left to the kids were to remain at home or go against their wishes and labour. Another generation of illiterate people would have resulted from this.

We performed a poll to identify the children who did not attend school in order to break this cycle and assist the kids. After that, we chatted with their parents and persuaded them to enrol their kids in school. At our facilities, we gave the kids a basic education, and once they had finished, we enrolled them in an accredited school. Our endeavours enabled the kids to integrate into society and lead normal lives filled with possibilities.

We are also currently undertaking a project called “Project Zindagi” for the welfare of children.

                                  The teachers working for our NGO are paid a salary for their services. However, we do also have teaching volunteers who offer their time and skills on a voluntary basis at our centers.

These activities may consist of sports, music, art, and other fun and engaging recreational activities. We welcome anyone who is interested in participating or volunteering in these activities to contact us for more information. Both the children and our team would greatly appreciate your time and contribution

                                  Is the project place on rent? Or do you own it?

                                  Our project place is on rent, which means we do not own the facility where our projects are conducted. We rent the space to provide our services and programs to children in need.

                                  Can I visit the NGO's offices or project sites? If so, how do I arrange a visit?

                                  Certainly, we invite visitors to come and observe our work in progress and learn more about our projects and programmes at our project centres.

                                  Does the trustee also provide funds for the projects?

                                  Our trustees are dedicated to the accomplishment of our organisation’s initiatives and frequently provide money to help us out. Yet, in order to guarantee the sustainability of our projects, our trustees are equally aware of the significance of getting money from a variety of sources. So, even if our trustees may offer financial assistance, we actively look for money for our programmes from people, foundations, businesses, and governmental organisations.  Please get in touch with us if you have any further questions regarding how we raise money or how we handle our finances.

                                  Is the NGO functional on Sundays as well?

                                  No, unless any donor has any reservations about meeting children at our Center. Our Center remains closed.

                                  Is it possible for you to arrange a meeting with the children?

                                  While you are welcome to visit our project centres and meet the children, we are unable to bring them to you. It’s important to consider the safety and well-being of the children when organising visits or activities involving them.

                                  We need to follow certain legal and ethical considerations while organising meet-ups like these. This may include obtaining consent from parents or legal guardians, ensuring that appropriate safety measures are in place, and adhering to relevant laws and regulations related to child protection and welfare.

                                  Ultimately, the safety and well-being of the children are always our top priorities.
