Suryodaya Welfare Association - Request and Give (SWARG) is a platform where people can form socially-conscious communities and self-sustainable groups. You can share resources when you can spare anything that is needed by less-privileged people in your surroundings.

What are we trying to do?
In the words of our founder, we want to build Swarg (heaven), a place where everything is in harmony. To create this heaven, we are looking for angels.
The problem
The problem
Today, when we look around us, there is a huge inadvertent socio-economic gap in our communities. When we dig deep into the causes, we can see a wide range of issues such as:
Historical origins of unequal treatment
Lack of accessibility, awareness to certain groups
Differences in perceived value of skills and contribution.
But one this that keeps on coming up is the lack of equal opportunities. This discrimination is prevalent even today because of gender, ethnicity (religion, caste, color, race), social hierarchies, prejudices, and regressive thoughts.
The solution
The solution
Rome wasn't built in a single day. We can't solve everything in a snap of finger (even though we badly wish!), but, taking one step at a time in creating a balance in the opportunities provided to everyone, is the right way to tackle this problem.
Some of us are "lucky" (read - privileged) to have enough to lead a comfortable life, and then some. What if we could restore the balance by giving a surplus of the resource we have to someone who is in dire need of it? Driven with this altruistic thought, we decided to build a platform that can get people to request and give.
People can request for resources which can range from tangible assets like food, groceries, clothes to intangible skill-based assistance which involve the time and energy of the helper.
At this point, you must be thinking, is this scalable? Will anyone also offer help or only keep requesting it?
Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.
Although our model is built on the pillars of compassion and altruism, we have taken steps to incentivise the people into helping others; just like in real life, by earning "Good karma".
How can you help?
How can you help?
Not everyone can donate money, we know that. But, time and energy are more valuable than money when passionately working towards a cause.
We are looking for helping hands that are truly motivated towards the mission. Read below about how you can play a part!
You can always contribute actively, by being socially-conscious towards your neighbourhood and community.
On SWARG platform, you can do your part by donating whenever you come across a request for resources like food, items that you can spare or help by providing pro-bono services whenever you can.
We understand when people say that they really want to help, but just can't make time from their busy lives.
You can support the cause by making any small contribution to our accounts. The donation will be used for running the programs smoothly.
