🛑In Jadugoda, fear of the government silences the cries for justice.

🆘Are you with us in this fight for life? Wildlife is vanishing, crops are dying-there’s hardly anything left to survive in Jadugoda. Every third person here is paralyzed or dying of cancer, simply because they live next to a nuclear plant, waste dumps, and uranium mines.

India proudly ranks as the sixth nuclear power, but behind that pride lies a devastating truth the country refuses to see.

🆘Jadugoda-a small tribal village in Jharkhand—has paid the ultimate price for India’s nuclear ambitions. The uranium mined here fuels our power, but it also poisons the land, the water, and the very people who call this place home.

➡️From the comfort of Delhi to the harsh really of Jadugoda, l’ve been living here for days-breathing the same air that threatens life itself. Because someone has to stand with those who’ve been abandoned and silenced.

🆘Gallons of radioactive waste, dumped recklessly and without safety measures, seep into every inch of land, every drop of water. This isn’t just contamination-it’s a silent genocide. Every sip of water is a step closer to death. Every breath is a gamble with life.

➡️In Jadugoda, even a mother’s tears carry the bitter weight of uranium’s curse. Every hope is crushed before it’s born.
Uranium-the element that gave this nation its nuclear pride-has turned into a curse that eats its own people alive.

🆘Here, spontaneous abortions are not a rare tragedy-they’re a daily horror. Almost every woman suffers through five to seven miscarriages, her motherhood stolen by an invisible killer.

🆘Nuclear waste is dumped into drinking water ponds—recklessly, Uranium ore is transported in uncovered trucks, radioactive dust coats playgrounds, and waste is dumped openly, breaking every nuclear safety law with impunity.

My own mother tried to stop me from coming here, fearing the risks. But standing and helping these people is not just a duty
—it’s an act of humanity. Because someone must fight for the lives stolen by radiation in the name of progress.

➡️That’s what Basta Foundation stands for: to rehabilitate these people, to bring medical treatment to cancer patients abandoned by the system, to demand education for their children, and to build livelihoods where hope was destroyed.

🆘They urgently need large Reverse Osmosis (RO) plants to treat their poisoned water—so that every sip is safe, every child can grow up healthy, and every mother can watch her child thrive without fear. We are working tirelessly to bring these plants to life, doing our best to ensure clean water and a future free from contamination.
