You can be a Godparent to this child
|
Godparent: A godparent is an individual other than a child's
biological parents who commits to take interest in the child's upbringing and
personal development. |
What is Godparents.in ?
We are a non-profit organization with a primary focus on upliftment
of the underprivileged children in India.
Today, several NGOs are active across the country, directly providing children
with basic education, nutrition, sanitation etc, thus empowering them
with the confidence and skills to take control of their future.
Being a scattered and largely unorganized sector, NGOs often find themselves in
a predicament dividing time between raising funds and helping children.
Godparents.in aims at assisting such
NGOs by raising funds for them, and allowing them to concentrate on what they do
best.

How it works ?
- You donate an amount for a child you wish to support
- We collect it on behalf of the child, and pass it to the caretaking NGO
- The caretaking NGO then provides for the child's necessities supported by you
- The transparency of our operations gives you the power to instantly track
exactly where your donations have gone, and to regularly monitor their real
impact on the children's lives.
