Charity for children by Slumdog Millionaire filmmakers

Guys, I came across this news about Oscar winning Slumdog Millionaire filmmakers announcing an amount of £500,000 to Plan India, an underprivileged children's charity organization. The donation is meant for improving children's lives in Mumbai slums.

Many of us are unaware of what Plan India is; even I didn’t know about this organization. The news startled me. Let me brief you guys about this centre. This charity organization for children has already changed the course of the lives of over a million children including their families in India. It is a 30-year old organization in India, part of the 72-year old Plan International, an international body with presence in 68 countries. It collects donations and utilizes the amount for child protection, child participation, child education india, disaster preparedness, children’s health, water and environment sanitation, etc.

Why can’t we be a part of a developmental program, contributing to charity for children? We can make a difference in the lives of the underprivileged children by supporting them and donating for them. Our charity for children via platforms like Plan India will facilitate a better and developed India in the future. You and even I notice so many underprivileged children on the streets, traffic signals, and slums. By donating to an underprivileged children’s charity organization, we can actively support child development programs over a long period for their complete upliftment till they become productive members of the nation. Guys, I am not lecturing…let us join the movement and support underprivileged children.

Sponsor a child in India

Hello friends…today I am so happy…I donated for a noble cause, for a child charity. I have been planning since long to sponsor a child charity but was not finding a relevant platform. I did meet executives who advertise and attract people for donation at happening places, but I was somehow not satisfied with their authenticity.

The Internet served my purpose. I typed ‘sponsor a child charity’ in the search page. I am surprised to find so many organizations operational online. I browsed some ten pages to know about the child charity activities and about the respective companies. Plan India appealed to me the most. This child development centre functions with the objective to promote child rights at the same time improving the quality of life of vulnerable children. It has an all-India network with presence in 11 states in India. Plan India has a track record of directly contributing the lives of over a million children and their families till date since the year 1979. The three-decade old organization is the India chapter of Plan International, a 1937-founded body functioning in 68 countries. Plan India also takes part in other developmental activities like helping flood affected people and their children, earthquake victims, and the like.

I browsed through the programs, registered myself and paid the amount online. You guys should join the drive too. Why not sponsor a child in India? If you contribute more in amount, then sponsor a child charity. I bet you will feel contented at heart.

Donate for children

Hello friends, it is very saddening to see the plight of children begging at traffic signals or dancing to the tunes of drums for the passersby’s entertainment. I have also seen children working at ‘dhabas’, the roadside eateries and even small factories. Can’t we do something for them; measures like paying for their education, giving them space to live and so on? Donating to charity seems the best option. I browsed through the Internet and found a number of links that stand for the cause of child development. I happened to click on the link carrying information about Plan India. I really wanted to donate for children and I found this organization as a platform for sending some money.

Why I am writing here at this blog forum is to seek a bit of your help. If all of us donate for children, I think there will be no beggar children on the streets. There should also be a drive from the govt. and all existing NGOs to take care of these underprivileged children. Donating to charity will help these bodies take complete responsibility of every child right from their basic necessities to their education and final settlement.

I am truly in favor of donating to charity and creating a positive difference in every child via the charitable organization. I have even registered myself to take part in the activities of promoting the needy children towards the ladder of success. Donate for children and do get started for a ‘developed India’.
