Why You Should Donate To NGO’s India Supporting The Elderly?

by Kanan James NGO INDIA

There 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.
