History

In 2015, Blessings NGO was founded by Nishat Hashmi, who hails from a middle-class family and had overcome various challenges in her own education and career. Her personal experiences inspired her to ensure that the upcoming generation received education and guidance so that they wouldn't have to face similar obstacles. She began by teaching children who were engaged in child labor in her vicinity, gradually imparting education and literacy to them. Over time, more children and women joined her to learn and engage in various small-scale activities.

Initially, her aim was to support those in her immediate community, but as more people joined her efforts, her vision expanded. What started with remedial classes grew into something remarkable over eight years. Blessings NGO won numerous awards and received appreciations during this period, further fueling her determination.

As the founder observed the success of her educated students in various fields, her passion for Blessings NGO deepened. While initially operating in South Delhi, during the COVID-19 pandemic, they extended their reach to provide assistance with ration and medicines to people not only in Delhi but also in areas beyond the city with the help of their dedicated volunteers.

Blessings NGO operates without any specific project or substantial funding. However, the impact they have had so far is commendable. With improved funding, the results may become even more remarkable. Blessings NGO has earned a special place in South Delhi, especially in Okhla, known for its loyalty, professionalism, and the trust it has built within the community. The NGO's activities also include awareness campaigns and significant events, thanks to the support of well-educated individuals who work diligently as volunteers.
