Illiteracy and malnourishment are two issues that have creeped into multiple communities across our country, with a large population not even having access to healthy meals or a basic education. India ranks 94th among 107 countries in the Global Hunger Index, indicating the dire situation of our country’s underprivileged communities.
With the support of food donations made by citizens, foodNGOs in India, are working tirelessly to address these issues at the grass root level. They engage in continuous distribution of meal and ration packets to help innumerable members of our society to combat hunger and break free from the restricting chains of poverty.
Food NGOs are constantly looking out for philanthropic individuals to help support their mission and work with them in unison to empower the destitute communities. Donating towards the cause is a kind and selfless act that can help to support a number of struggling communities, but this act can be very rewarding for you as well!
Here are some ways in which joining hands with the food NGOs, and a donation made towards the cause can benefit you:
A feeling of giving back to the society you are a part of:
Knowing that even a small donation towards helping those in need, by providing the very basic requirement of healthy and nourishing food to underprivileged communities will give you an unparalleled sense of satisfaction and positivity. Extending your own hand to provide support to a family in need, will help in the upliftment of the society you are a part of as a whole.
Building relationships and a sense of being connected:
Working towards a similar cause will allow you to reach out to and connect with a number of like-minded, socially responsible individuals such as yourself. A simple online donation can help to spark very important conversations within society, and you can be the responsible spokesperson in developing a community oriented mindset, and influence many others to contribute towards the betterment of our community.
Be a part of India’s growth and development:
You can see the tangible impact that your donation has made, in terms of reducing hunger and malnourishment, which has a positive cascading effect in terms of increased productivity at school, at the workplace and control in the spread of illnesses within marginalised communities.
Rewards in terms of tax exemptions:
Besides getting greatly rewarded in terms of emotional and psychological satisfaction, donating to NGOs and charitable organisations can give you monetary benefits as well. Tax rebates can be claimed under Section 80(G) of the Income Tax Act, by providing necessary documents showcasing proof of donation, which will be provided to you by the organisations themselves.
