Adopt an NGO..

According to Wikipedia, a non-governmental organization (NGO) is a legally constituted organization created by natural or legal persons that operates independently from any form of government.

There are around 3.3 million NGOs in India as of 2009, which means there is one NGO per 400 people in India. In India NGOs can be established under various Indian laws, and the different legal entities under which civil society organizations can register themselves.There are various organizations for women, children, farmers, artisans etc. Societies Registration Act, 1860 is a central act for registering not-for-profit organizations

Sakshum is one such not for profit organization. It means "being capable". It aims at providing holistic development to children with special needs and help them to integrate with the regular society. "Special needs" includes children suffering from Autism, Down's syndrome etc.

Sakshum has undertaken following initiatives-
*Blood Donor Registration
*Eye Care I Care : Regarding vision problems and treatment
*Light a Life: Eye donation
*Educate a Child
*Adopt a School
*Adopt a NGO

"United we stand, divided we fall."

Sakshum has started this project of "Adopt a NGO". It helps smaller NGOs by strengthening them by providing them with direction and financial assistance.

Sakshum has already taken the following NGOs under its wings.

1) Prekhsa Foundation
2) Organization of Rural Development

It is helping 160 children by providing basic education and by helping them to join a school.

Small steps like this can help many underprivileged citizens of our country. Being responsible citizen of India, we all have duty towards betterment of our country. These initiatives can be a big motivation for us all. Thus I request all those who are reading to make small but effective steps to help our country be a better place.

JAI HIND!
