Change your perspective.

There are people who live lavishly on the one hand. On the other hand, there are people who cannot even afford the basics of life. They do not have a place to live, food to eat, or clothes to wear. They lack basic necessities, are fighting for their lives every day, and can't meet their basic needs. To help poor and needy is a noble endeavour. You strengthen their dependency by giving more to poor and needy people. Giving them the chance or opportunity will result in an effective and long-lasting improvement in their lives.  Following are the few ways to help poor and needy people: Bringing moral consolation to the poor is an effective way to help them. It is more effective than just giving them money. The ability to improve their condition on their own would increase their self-esteem and allow them to overcome barriers they face every day. One can raise awareness and create connections to charity organizations and community centres that a...

Income Tax Exemption List!

 Almost all of us have contemplated doing our bit for the community at some point in our lives. Donating to a cause you deeply believe in, and making a difference through that donation, is a commendable act. Because of the noble nature of this gesture, the government extends its full support to charitable causes. Indian Income Tax Act Section 80G allows you to make a tax deduction for donations made to any charitable organization. Donations you make to charitable trusts or organizations registered to offer you tax exemptions may qualify for an 80G certificate that exempts your taxes in part or in full. As an example, the tax exemption under section 80G is available to charitable organizations and trusts registered under section 12A. The maximum allowable deduction is however a criterion. The excess amount will not qualify for a tax deduction if the aggregate of your donations exceeds 10% of your total gross income. The 80G certificate entered the law book in 1967-68 and has conti...

Children, not brides and grooms.

 Adolescent girls and children marry and form informal unions - by choice or by force - for a variety of complicated, interconnected reasons. To bring an end to child marriage, we must first understand the systems, norms and behaviours that drive child marriage, along with what works in different contexts to do so. Listening to those affected by child marriage and working across sectors and with diverse stakeholders at all levels will bring faster and more lasting change. In order to end child marriage, girls must be at the centre of solutions. Positive social norms need to be reformed within the families and the communities that limit girls' options. When we work together to understand how to stop child marriage , we can extend gender equality in the home and in public spaces, allowing girls to achieve their full potential. International bodies, governments, as well as political and religious leaders must commit to putting human rights standards into action all over the world in...

Child Help Foundation = Save the Children

  A foundation that is benevolently involved in redeeming the lives of underprivileged children could be termed as children’s charities . There are countless children’s charities that work to eliminate poverty by educating children and helping them make ends meet, but success is met in only fewer numbers - one of the most crucial reasons being lack of public participation. The more the number of supportive hands, the easier the task of alleviating the burden of poverty that suppresses underprivileged children. Each one of us must unite for the cause and follow a realistic approach towards this concern; we need to start helping underprivileged children as a collective social responsibility. Besides individuals, large corporations too can fund and help individuals or charitable institutions who work towards the welfare of poverty-stricken children. Children are the beginning of this poverty cycle, whose lives must be reformed to break out of its viciousness. We must, therefore, come ...

Malnutrition in India is a serious concern.

 India has been suffering at the hands of many corruptions that it has not been able to fix over many five-year plans. Our nation’s economy has been prospering, but we are not able to say that about many of those who continue to live beneath the poverty line. A 2019 UNICEF report extracted from the Comprehensive National Nutrition Survey released by India’s health ministry recorded 35% of children under the age of five years were stunted, while 17% were wasted and 33% were underweight. This statement ascribed the survey by revealing the “extent and severity of micronutrient deficiencies, information on fat distribution and nutritional risk factors for non-communicable diseases, and links between children’s nutritional status and their cognitive development”.   These statistics particularly show the critical transformation needed wherein children’s health policies are concerned. Hunger and malnutrition in India amongst its children has increased over the last few years at ala...

Come, protect the children of our nation with Save the Children.

  Any form of brutality has long-lasting repercussions on the general development of a child, resulting in potential harm to the child’s health, daily existence, growth, and honor. According to reports from a government-commissioned examination, 53% of children face some form of abuse in India. Additionally, the National Crime Records Bureau reports that the number of children rape and murder cases increase every year. This is why the child protection policy in India needs to be reinforced thoroughly leaving no stone unturned. Growing convolutions of life along with changes in the socio-economic condition of the society often lead to children being exposed to various forms of abuse. Most times, owing to the child’s innocence and state of vulnerability, they do not understand that they have been mistreated or have been taken advantage of. Child abuse, thus, is a violation of a child’s basic human rights. They need to be protected through the child protection policy in India . T...

Come, support an NGO working for education.

  India's leading child right's NGO, Save the Children accepts each and every child, paying no heed to where they come from. They merit the most obvious opportunity for a child's splendid future and are strongly dedicated to guaranteeing that children's privileges are understood, their voices are heard and their necessities are given the first preference.

Save the Children also provides vigorous well-being and sustenance advantages to children from the most underestimated and distraught systems. Well-being and nourishment programmes and activities consist of almost 50% of their programming in India.  At a point when children are forced into labour work, they are mishandled or dealt with; it is our collective moral respo...
