ngo donation for children

  India is one of the highest-ranking countries in the world for the number of children suffering from malnutrition. I have been working for an online news media for the last 2 years and recently I worked on a documentary regarding malnutrition in India. To prepare the documentary I traveled with my crew to different villages in India and after visiting many villages I realized how critical is the condition of malnutrition in India. Poverty is the primary reason for malnutrition and major steps have to be taken to eradicate poverty. More steps should be taken to address the issue of malnutrition by the governments at the center and the state. Mid-day meal as a solution The mid-day meal programme is a major step taken by the government to fight against the issue of malnutrition. Currently, students till class 8 are getting meals at schools. The government has created a menu to ensure that the students are getting nutritious food. Since the launch of the mid-day meal programmer , ...

  I have been working as an accountant under CA for the last 10 years. All these years I have handled income tax and sales tax filings for several people and businesses. From my experience, I would like to share some of the things that you should be aware of before making charitable donations. 1. You should choose the organisation wisely. Ensure that they have the license to function and the government approval to get donations for children . 2. It will be good to check about their previous projects and how successful they were in utilising funds towards the specified cause.  3. Make sure that the modes of payment available are safe and secure.  Things to be noted to get a tax deduction 1. If you are a taxpayer you are automatically qualified to claim a tax deduction under Section 80G. You need to either be a resident Indian or a non-resident Indian (NRI) with an Indian passport. In both cases, you should have a taxable income in India to qualify for an exemption. 2. Make...

  In our everyday lives, we see many homeless people and children who are struggling to get even a single meal a day. While growing up, whenever I saw people at traffic signals or on the roadside as they asked for food, I started feeling a sense of responsibility to do something about this issue. As I grew older and started looking for potential solutions, I realized that there are many NGOs in India that are working to put an end to hunger and malnourishment in the country. Once I graduated high school, I started volunteering over the weekends at one of the  top food NGOs in India  whose primary aim is to eradicate malnutrition and hunger amongst children. At present, we are working to provide food to young students under the mid-day meal scheme. While preparing the food, the kitchen staff at the NGO ensures that students get enough nutrition by adding eggs, milk, and vegetables to the wholesome meals. We also distribute special food on the day of occasions or festi...

  In recent years, the number of donations made towards social causes has increased significantly. NGOs, charitable trusts, and other non-profit organizations have been using these additional contributions to extend their cause and reach more people in need. These small steps taken by individuals across the country can truly help accelerate the process of social and economic development. Besides this, if you donate money to NGOs for a cause you care about, you feel a sense of belonging within your society, as well as great satisfaction that you have contributed to making a positive difference for the members of your community.  Even with the many positives associated with making a charitable donation, a large chunk of the population is inhibited to donate money to NGOs or other organizations because of certain misconceptions. As a frequent donor to different types of NGOs in the country, I would like to debunk some of these myths and give you more clarity about maki...
