Save the children

Recently I cam across an NGO "Save the children" through an adv. call. This is their site. Seems to be pretty gud. You can sponsor children through them. I think its a monthly donation of Rs.300 that will go to the child.

But one thing am skeptical abt is that, there are many links in the site that are not working and I dont actually know anyone who is already associated with this NGO. So incase u r interested in sponsoring a child thro' them, pls do ur homework. Am not trying to scare u ppl, but this is just a caution. Incase u know anyone associated with this NGO, please comment in the comments sections so that everybody knows about it.

Incse you want to know more, please contact Elangovan(97888 43681). They say they will come and collect the money from the sponsor personally.

  1. i generally go by word of mouth recommendation, and not thru any websites yaar. I recently joined a firm called OXFAM and they are very good. They send you the report cards of the kids you are sponsoring for the education and you can talk to them directly as well. I liked it so I sponsored for a big batch of 1st std kids :)

  7. Its always good to check the background and see if things are actually going on at the ground level.

  8. Nice thought..I think you cautioned about the right thing.There are Many NGO's which use their activities just as a front to raise money for their own lavish uses.
    It also points to the fact that a country like India where certain NGOS are linked and known for money laundering and supporting anti state activities, should have proper regulatory system to check the genuineness of these NGOS
