Hello everyone,

I have started this fundraiser to help a bunch of extremely motivated, strong and inspirational people, mainly women, who have not let an acid attack dictate their life.

The attack destroyed the women both physically and mentally. On an average, each of them has had to undergo around 24 corrective surgeries, and the count only increases. But the women have not given up.

Thanks to the efforts of one woman, Daulatbi Khan, who also has been an acid survivor, these women are finding their voice, slowly yet steadily.

It's extremely saddening to see a lot of people not wanting to sit or stand next to them. Needless to say that they do not even get jobs.

These women are beautiful.

If people come forward and help, these women can enroll themselves in a course on beauty/makeup/hair treatments, etc. and can then open a beauty parlour of their own.

The money raised will go to Acid Attack Survivors Saahas Foundation - http://www.assfindia.com/

This is the breakup of the funds that are required -

Diploma in beauty culture for 3 girls - 4265 USD. The course is for 5 months. They will be given the entire beauty kit, post the course.

Diploma in hair design for 2 girls - 3102 USD. The course is for 5 months. They will be given the hair styling kit, post the course.

Deposit for the parlour - 7750 USD

Rent for 1 year - 14,883 USD (1240 USD/monthly) This is the minimum amount of time required before they can pay their own rent.
