Activity for March 2026: Women Empowerment Initiative, Kopri, Thane

On the occasion of International Women's Day this month, PoB took a giant leap towards empowering women by initiating the first phase of this program. We joined hands with Swayamsiddha Mahila Charitable Trust to launch an all-women papad, sandge and gahu satva making unit, focusing on healthier alternatives. 

Today on the auspicious day of Ram Navmi, we inaugurated this project with a small prayer. PoB donated the essential machinery to kickstart the initiative. The women leaders running this venture were highly motivated and felicitated by us.

Let's all of us wish them success on this incredible journey! 🙌🏽

Activity for February 2026: Support Visually Impaired Centre, Vangni

Visually impaired individuals face countless challenges, but at NFOVIP (National Federation Of Visually Impaired People) Centre in Vangni, they're living with dignity and purpose. This place is a production centre for handmade products like agarbatti, metal scrubbers, plastic baskets, sandalwood powder, flower pots and more...

The metal scrubber making machine here was out of order and the production was at stand still. PoB supported this centre by donating a brand new scrubber making machine.  

And that’s not all. This team also has some skilled massage therapists (both males and females) and they were keen to start a massage centre. Due to lack of sufficient funds, this project was only a dream project for them. PoB has helped them setup a massage centre by providing bed, oil, and other essentials. 

A genuine attempt to empower their independence and skills and to make them self-sufficient! 💪

Activity for January 2026: Support mentally-ill destitutes, Karjat

Several times we might have noticed unfortunate men & women wandering on the roads, lost in their own world, laughing and talking to themselves, with dirty long matted hair, all skin & bones and half naked. They may be just barely surviving on garbage, gutter water and whatever leftovers of food thrown at them. They are on the roads- maybe for weeks, months or years without food, clothing or shelter. They are stripped of all human dignity, but, they are still humans.

PoB, in collaboration with Shraddha Rehabilitation Foundation, has brought warmth and dignity to their lives! ❤️

A generous donation of 200 blankets, 100 bedsheets, 100 half pants, and 150 sets of ladies' undergarments is making a difference. 🙌🏽 Thank you PoB family for being a part of this noble cause! 🙏🏽 Let's continue to bring hope to those who need it most!

Activity for December 2025: Support to selfless work at Shelu Ashram

From last two years this ashram has been quietly serving daily meals to around 25-30 people in need, without cost or any external assistance. This has fostered good community feelings in the entire village. Now some local villagers, generously provide some free vegetables. Additionally, several locals donate rice, dal, and other essential kitchen items. It has become a happy community living with a goodness feeling everywhere.

We supported them this month with groceries. 🙏🙏

POB Activity for November 2025: Supporting Deonar Special Home for Girls

This place homes 29 minor girls (aged 12-18 years) who have been rescued from the flesh trade, assaults, and trafficking. This month, PoB supported this centre with groceries, nutritious food, sanitary napkins, and basic hygiene essentials. We also provided them with sattu to help meet their protein requirements. A big thank you to our kind members for donating sufficient clothes and bedsheets. POB members also volunteered to teach the girls some skills like English speaking, drawing.

Next door, we visited Navjeevan - a centre for women, where we got a glimpse of the products they've been working on. They're hosting an exhibition in December and have extended an invitation to our members to attend. As always, it was a wonderful activity. Thank you, team 🙏🏽

Activity for October: Revive the seed to thread project through Gram Seva Mandal, Wardha

The power supply system at Gram Sewa Mandal needs an upgradation to reliably meet the load requirement of 100 HP. This upgrade involves the replacement of Kit-Kat fuses and cables, installation of new open-air conductors, and   erection of poles for conductors.

This month, PoB supported the Mandal to upgrade the power supply system for their pre-spinning unit at Gopuri Wardha. This helped them revive their cotton seed to thread project again.🙏🙏

Activity for September 2025: Support for  Chembur Children's Home Prathmik School to get their firefighting equipment functional

This month, POB worked with Chembur Children’s Home by getting their firefighting equipment functional. This will help them renew their licence for the next three years and allow the school to function. We also donated storage utensils for food grains. Thanks to one of our members, Srinivas, who donated snacks for the kids. Some of the snacks were distributed today, and the rest will be distributed over the coming few days.

We spent some time with the kids, and a few of them graced us with their talented rap singing.

Thank you for making this activity a success. The happiness of the children made the experience invaluable.

Activity for August 2025: Broadening Humanism- Support to animal shelter home

In line with Neohumanism's principles of extending love, respect, and compassion to all living beings, Path of Bliss supported Freedom Farm, an animal shelter run by Citizens for Animal Protection in Thane's Ghodbunder area. The shelter was struggling due to increased distress cases, torrential rains, and waterlogging. 

PoB donated 10 dog cages to help them accommodate more rescues. One of our kind member also donated rice for the animals.

Thank you to the PoB family 🙏🐾💕

Activity for July 2025: Support Dharavi Learning Centre

Situated amidst the heart of Mumbai's densely populated slums of Dharavi is a remarkable Learning Centre- Dharavi Diaries. It has been empowering underprivileged kids since 2014. 

This month, PoB stepped in to support this noble cause! Our contributions include:

- A laptop to enhance their digital learning experience

- A printer to facilitate creative projects

- Stationery materials, generously donated by our kind members, which includes notebooks, papers, writing essentials, maps, and globes

By providing these resources, we aim to strengthen the educational foundation of these young minds, unlocking their potential to become the next generation of innovators and leaders. Kudos to our members for their kindness and generosity! 🙏🏽

Activity for June 2025: Yoga Day celebration and Science Lab inauguration at PNP school, Karjat

PNP School in Jambrung, Karjat, is a shining example of community spirit - born out of the villagers' unwavering desire for knowledge and built through their collective efforts. This unique school is a testament to their dedication and perseverance. Founded 20 years ago, without any government support, the school has grown steadily, serving students in standards 8-10. The teachers have been working voluntarily for more than 16 years. Today, it proudly educates 110 students, providing them with free education and empowering their future.

1. On the occasion of International Yoga Day, PoB organized a special event promoting wellness and mindfulness. The tribal students were introduced to the basics of yoga sadhana.

2. We also donated a storage cupboard and sports equipments to encourage physical activity and teamwork.

3. Additionally, with the kind help from one of our members, we helped the school to set up a science laboratory to empower students with hands-on learning experiences. The teachers were happy that now the students will be able to perform experiments and won't suffer during their board exams

Heartfelt gratitude to PoB family for your support and trust in our efforts to make a meaningful difference. 🙏🏽
