by Kanan James NGO INDIAThere
are millions of elderly in India who are unable to address their health care and
financial needs due to many reasons. But you can always make this world a
slightly better place even with the smallest of donations. While many people have tax exemption as a motivating
factor for donating to NGOs that support the elderly that is not always the
reason you should consider helping the old. Find out how even the smallest
donation from you can contribute to the life and wellbeing of someone else.
Make a Difference with Donations
When
you donate to an NGO that supports the elderly, you are making a contribution in
so many ways. Some non-governmental organizations are dedicated to working for the
wellbeing of the old in so many ways and rely on donations to provide:
- Livelihood security to millions of elderly
in the form of institutions
- Age-based services to millions of old
people in cooperation with the government, civil society and private sector.
- Health security for millions of
elderly
- Contributing to creation of elderly
groups
When
donating for an NGO India, you should look for organizations
that help the elderly in rebuilding their lives. This will ensure that what you
donate will go in helping the old take charge of their lives and build a sense
of confidence and self worth.
Contributions to Different Programs
When
you donate to an NGO taking care of the elderly, you could be contributing to
different programs.
Mobile Healthcare Services
Some
NGOs run programs offering mobile healthcare services to the elderly at their
doorsteps. The service reaches the needy elders with medications and medical
equipment. They visit specific locations regularly and provide healthcare
services to the elders who cannot visit a healthcare facility due to financial
or physical limitations.
Eye Care Camps & Free Cataract
Surgeries
Some
organizations run programs to run eye care camps for the elderly. They work
with reputed hospitals to organize camps and conduct cataract surgeries. The
surgeries are conducted in hospitals and not camps, ensuring that proper and
comprehensive medical care is available.
Supporting Old Age Homes
Some
organizations use your donation to support multiple old age homes in different
parts of the country. The funds are used for providing assistive devices or
developing old age homes. Reputed NGOs can also provide you with information
about the homes they support.
Elderly Livelihood Support
There
are millions of older persons who find it hard to support their livelihood due
to financial constraints. So when you donate to the right NGO, you could also
provide livelihood support to such elderly. Some organizations work with the
elders to create self-help groups so that they can sustain themselves.
Get Tax Deductions
The
government enables donation tax exemption
to people so that more people are encouraged to donate for important causes. So
when you donate to such NGOs that support the wellbeing of the elderly, you can
also get tax exemptions. Thus, even the smallest contributions you make to improving
someone’s life is recoverable in one way or the other.
Thus,
there are many reasons for donating to the cause of elderly wellbeing in India.
It doesn't matter how much you contribute, it is always going to make things better
for someone who is in need of support. Besides, the tax exemptions you get in
return can pay you back, thus allowing you to enrich others’ lives without
actually paying big.
