10 causes to support as a New Year’s resolution for 2025!

A New Year’s resolution has become a part of our Decembers. Each year, as we wind down after a long and eventful twelve months, we scribble down our hopes and dreams for the coming year. It is an opportune time to reflect on what we want to achieve and how we want to grow as individuals. For some people, this includes travel to a new place, getting another degree or reaching health and fitness goals. A New Year’s resolution also includes the impact we want to make in the lives of others by spreading happiness and compassion. There are many ways to do this, such as reaching out to the people in our lives, deepening our friendships with them and even being more generous and sowing in the lives of the less fortunate. 

 

Making a New Year’s resolution is the perfect way to wrap up the year and make sure that the coming one makes us feel better about ourselves and gives our lives more purpose and meaning. Making an impact on this world is something we all strive toward and if one of our New Year’s resolutions can be uplifting other people and helping them live better lives, that impact would last for generations and change entire families and communities. In states across India, there are millions of people who are in desperate need of a helping hand from people who can afford to give them a fresh meal, warm clothes for the winter or take care of their children’s school fees. For them, a little goes far and wide.

 

The power of becoming a monthly giver

Each month, when you pledge your support to a charitable cause, you help people who are suffering and in need of constant care. While giving once makes a massive difference in the lives of people, giving a small amount each month ensures that people receive a constant stream of support to help them come out of their miserable circumstances and improve their futures. For example, helping a girl child go to school for a few months will change her life. But once that support stops, she will not be able to afford her fees, books or uniforms and will have to drop out of school. When you support her each month, you can make sure that she stays in school until she graduates. This is the power of monthly giving. 

 

Here are 7 causes you can make a pledge to support this 2025!

 

Mission: No Child Orphaned

For reasons such as being born disabled, babies are abandoned by their families. These innocent children are left on the streets or dumped on the roadside, where they are vulnerable to animal attacks or abuse from criminals. Mission: No Child Orphaned takes in these children and gives them a safe and loving home, regular meals, medical care, an education and a better future for the rest of their childhoods.

Mission: Protect Abandoned Elders

Elders are often kicked out onto the streets once they become “too old to be of use to their families”. There, they starve without food, suffer without medicines and are often attacked by thieves and criminals. Mission: Protect Abandoned Elders rescues these elders from the streets and gives them a home, proper nutrition and medical care and reunites them with their families or cares for them for the rest of their lives.

Mission: Feed The Hungry

Without regular meals, people suffer from malnutrition and debilitating health conditions. There are two groups of people who are most vulnerable: children and seniors. Mission: Feed The Hungry provides nutritious food rations and fresh meals for underprivileged children and elders. In doing so, NGOs make sure that they are strong enough to go to school, access employment and improve their futures.

Mission: Every Girl in School

Girls from poor and disadvantaged backgrounds whose families cannot afford to send them to school are at risk of falling prey to social evils such as child marriage or child labor which keeps them trapped in the cycle of poverty. Mission: Every Girl in School covers the cost of a girl child’s school fees, school books, uniforms, stationery and other related expenses to help her have a better and self-sufficient future.

Mission: Stop Animal Cruelty

Street dogs and cats suffer on the streets. Without food or shelter, they are malnourished and emaciated. But worse than that, people hit them with their vehicles, throw stones on them and beat and kick them until they are maimed or dead. Mission: Stop Animal Cruelty rescues stray animals from the streets and treats their injuries, gives them healthy food, a forever home and lots of love and care.

Mission: Save The Environment

We have all learned that trees produce the oxygen we breathe. But trees also remove harmful pollutants from the air and absorb water so that natural disasters such as floods and landslides do not happen. Mission: Save The Environment works with grassroots NGOs to plant trees across India which will clean the air we breathe, cool the temperature and make the planet healthier for future generations.

Mission: End Period Poverty

Menstruation is a normal function of female human bodies. But because of the stigma, girls and women lack access to period products such as pads and are forced to use leaves, cow dung and even ash instead, causing diseases and death. Mission: End Period Poverty distributes free sanitary pads to underprivileged girls and women and raises awareness to break the taboo against this natural occurrence.

Mission: Safe Water For All

To be in good health, access to clean water for drinking and cooking purposes is essential. But in many communities across India, there are no safe sources of drinking water and people suffer from diseases and even death. Mission: Safe Water For All restores and rejuvenates water bodies such as lakes and rivers so that people will have access to clean water for their homes and have better health.

Mission: Manage India’s Waste

The garbage we throw away is one of the worst contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. When we don’t recycle, a mix of wet and dry waste rots in landfills and releases dangerous and toxic gases into the air we breathe. Mission: Manage India’s Waste works at the household level to help people segregate their waste, compost their waste and raise awareness on our role in mitigating climate change.

Mission: Break The Cycle of Poverty

Poverty is a crippling condition that shuts each door and cuts off access to improve life. The lack of access to finances means that entire families cannot educate their children or seek decent employment, keeping them trapped in the cycle of poverty. Mission: Break The Cycle of Poverty gives a sum of ₹65,000 to underprivileged families to help them with housing, land, livestock and debt repayment.
