Education is a fundamental and every child deserves that fundamental right. In India, millions of children don’t have access to quality education, often due to lack of infrastructure, poverty, and social barriers. Despite the odds, you still want to try. You still want to believe there’s a chance to change the status quo. One way to do that is to support charities that improve access to equal, quality education. Here’s how to choose a charity that fits the bill.
Start with Trust
Choose a trustworthy charity. Research your options. Which organisations have a reputation you can trust? Which charities have a track record for being involved in education campaigns and programs? Consider that information before choosing a charity. That will make it easier to decide where to send your education donation in India.
Look at Their Pages
You don’t need a flashy website. Look at the pages and get a sense of how the charity operates. How do they treat donors? Are they transparent about the way they spend the funds or use them to support their advocacies and the causes they serve? If the charity is dodgy or vague about its processes and how they use the donations, that’s a red flashing flag. Steer clear of those charities and keep looking.
Consider the Impact
Find charities that work on the ground. Does the organisation reach out to those affected by the lack of access to quality education? Do they have programs that address that problem or fill in some of the gaps left by the lack of assistance from the government?
Assess the Charity’s Approach
Organisations have different approaches. But does the charity’s approach align with yours? Do they address root causes of problematic behavior in children? Are they familiar with the education crisis and issues that plague India? Consider that before making your choice.
