HELPING the less fortunate is one of the most meaningful ways to celebrate the Christmas holidays. The festive Christmas season is filled with decorations, food and presents. But each Christmas, amidst the cheer, people across the world lift up the spirits of the underprivileged and change their lives for good through a Christmas donation. This Christmas, we are running special Christmas campaigns that enable NGOs to light up the lives of homeless widows, abandoned elders and children who are poor, blind and abused. This holiday season, your special Christmas donation can bring meaning and purpose to the lives of people who have been disadvantaged for so long.
Here are 5 special Christmas campaigns in need of your Christmas donation:
Distribute blankets to the homeless
On the streets of Vrindavan is a sorrowful sight. Entire rows of homeless women sit on the pavement and beg for food from people walking on the roads. These are women who have been left on the streets by their families because they are widows. Once their husbands die, these widows are no longer considered important and are tossed aside. Maitri is an NGO that rescues and cares for these women with a warm and loving home and future filled with love. This Christmas, Maitri is purchasing blankets for the women in the home to provide warmth and comfort. To distribute blankets to homeless widows on the streets, make a Christmas donation to Maitri:
Rescue homeless elders on the streets
Families often abandon their elders when they become too old to “be of use” to their children and relatives. When this happens, the seniors are left on the roads without shelter, food or medicines. Share and Care is an NGO in Chennai that rescues these senior citizens from the streets and gives them food rations, fresh and nutritious meals, basic essentials and personal support to help them recover from the pain of abandonment. This Christmas, Share and Care is putting together care packages for the elders in their care. To rescue and nurture elders abandoned by their families, make a Christmas donation to Share and Care:
Serve fresh meals to poor children
Food is one of the most basic needs, and for children, regular and nutritious meals are absolutely essential for their growth and development. Food is also important for children to be able to go to school and get an education. Annamrita Foundation is an NGO that prepares midday meals for underprivileged children to help build their physical strength, improve their mental capacities and help them have access to other important needs, such as going to school, which is the stepping stone for future employment and better lives. To serve fresh and nutritious meals to underprivileged children, make a Christmas donation to Annamrita Foundation:
Gift warm clothes to blind children
Children who are visually impaired are bright and talented individuals who are capable of accomplishing anything they set their minds to. But too often, people “give up” on these children and write them off as “incapable”. But The National Association For the Blind in Delhi is an NGO that believes in the potential of children and young people with visual disabilities and gives them the educational foundation to accomplish great things. This Christmas, the organization is giving the children warm clothes for the winter cold. To give blind children warm clothes, make a Christmas donation to The National Association For The Blind in Delhi:
Support National Association for the Blind
Gift books and resources to abused children
Children who do not have parents or guardians are vulnerable to exploitation by criminals – and this includes sexual abuse. This is an unthinkable crime, but it happens to innocent children across India. Society for Participatory Integrated Development or SPID is an NGO in Delhi that rescues children from red light districts and gives them a safe home, good food, education to rebuild their lives and the chance to enjoy their futures. This Christmas, SPID is giving the children books and study material to help them with their studies. To give books to children rescued from trafficking, make a Christmas donation to SPID:
Support these 5 NGOs this Christmas
This holiday season, make a Christmas donation to one or more of these NGOs and help the most vulnerable in India: children and senior citizens. When you support an NGO, you help grassroots NGOs serve people who are in desperate need of rescue, affection and care. This Christmas season, make a Christmas donation and spread the holiday love and cheer with the most disadvantaged to make the holidays meaningful for you and millions across India.
