In various locations in Rishikesh, including Tapovan, Laxman Jhula, and Shyampur Khadri, selected families received Diwali kits from the Samoon Foundation. These kits included worship materials, sweets, firecrackers, lamps, and oil wicks, which were prepared and distributed by the Samoon team.

If our small efforts can bring a little more light to the lives of those in need around us during this festival, then we truly understand the significance of Diwali.

Due to unemployment, poverty, and helplessness, three innocent children lost their mother. The poor family appealed to the Samoon Foundation for help in educating and supporting the children.
Poonam Devi, a 32-year-old resident of village Dobari, Bachhelikhal, Tehri Garhwal, suddenly fell ill. Before the family could respond, she passed away. It was reported that Poonam was pregnant, and due to a lack of funds, the family resorted to buying medicine from a nearby pharmacy, but she did not survive the next day.
Living in a wrecked mud house, her ailing husband, Jitendra Kumar Dhyadi, struggled to provide for the family through labor. With Poonam's sudden death, Jitendra, along with their three children (Shivangi, 9 years; Saumya, 7 years; and Vaibhavi, 5 years) and their elderly grandmother, were in shock. Jitendra was unable to work due to the need to care for the children and also because of the pain in his spinal cord, preventing him from seeking treatment or employment. Therefore, the family turned to the Samoon Foundation for help with the children's education and upbringing.
The Samoon Foundation team visited the affected family at their home and assured them of all possible assistance. On October 25, 2023, the Samoon Foundation provided a small assistance amount of ₹16,000 and promised further support for the children’s education.
By helping those in need within our community, we not only bring about positive change in
their lives but also play a vital role in building a stronger society, fostering consensus, harmony, and prosperity. For the past 13 years, members of the Samoon Foundation have been engaged in the noble work of serving humanity and have assisted hundreds of families to the best of their ability.

To ensure that no child is left behind due to financial or social constraints, we all need to come forward to help educate the underprivileged children of our society. For the past 12 years, the Samoon Foundation has been providing scholarships to support poor and deserving students in their education.
Faizan Khan aspires to become an engineer but was unable to pay his B.Tech fees due to his family's financial situation. Upon requesting assistance from the Samoon Foundation, the organization promptly transferred Faizan's entire fee of ₹1,25,019 (one lakh twenty-five thousand nineteen rupees) to his college.
Faizan Khan's complete fees were sponsored by one of our esteemed donors, and we have not only hope but full confidence that Faizan will excel in his studies, improve his family's financial condition, and, as a successful individual, help others in need as well.

Ramdhan Ji, a resident of village Tat, Rudraprayag, is 72-years-old and has no children or family. He lives alone in a small hut in the middle of the forest with his buffalo. Ramdhan Ji mentioned that repairing his house wouldn’t be of much use, but if he could get a box to store his food supplies, it would be a great help, as wild animals like monkeys, rats, and cats often eat whatever food he has.
The Samoon team took immediate action on Ramdhan Ji's request and delivered a box along with rations for the next 2-3 months to his home.
