The Prize

In the Autonagar slum, aspirations for a better life are almost always destroyed by a present that resembles yesterday and gives no hope for a different tomorrow. It is one of the many slums inhabited by untouchables, broken families on the margins of society. People living below the poverty line. As if all this were not enough, Covid19 has decimated the Autonagar community due to overpopulation and poor protection measures. Now many families have lost one of their parents, almost always the father.

Light for the Future is the campaign that Care & Share has set up to assist families affected by Covid19 and in the case of Autonagar with the supply of food packages that allow families that have been impoverished by the crisis not to have the worry of food to let them concentrate on the chance of getting back to work.

When you donate € 500 you are giving 10 families a month of guaranteed food supplies.

The purchase of unique items through an auction house requires careful evaluation by the buyer. We invite you to personally examine all the information and material at your disposal, including our returns policy, before proceeding with purchase.

The Cause

CARE TO ACTION is an Italian non-governmental organization that operates in India to support children, women and vulnerable and marginalized communities. It was founded in 1991 and since then over 22,500 Indian children have had access to education.

Today it operates in the urban suburbs and in the rural and tribal areas of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, two of the poorest states in India, carrying out projects to support children and young people excluded from school, in support of women's emancipation and working with marginalized communities, for economic or caste reasons, providing services and the renovation of meeting spaces, for sustainable economic and social development.
“The light of women” is the most heartfelt event of CARE TO ACTION, an opportunity to promote greater awareness of the problems that the female gender in India has to face every day, to raise funds to support the projects of the rights NGO of women and to celebrate the progress already made by girls and women supported by CARE TO ACTION.

Women, especially in India, are often underestimated and underrepresented, but their contribution is invaluable. They are mothers, daughters, sisters, friends and leaders, and their impact on the lives of those around them is enormous. This is why CARE TO ACTION, thanks to its donors and through the projects it carries out, supports the female gender by supporting education, awareness of their rights and economic independence. For CARE TO ACTION, supporting female empowerment is a fundamental objective to build a more just and sustainable society.
