Your Monthly Giving Guide: September Edition
;by Shweta Bisht - Sept 12, 2025
Giving back is something most of us aspire to, yet it often feels overwhelming. With countless causes and organisations to choose from, it can be hard to know where your time, energy, or money will make the most impact. That is exactly why we are launching a monthly giving guide—a curated list of nonprofits that are making tangible change across India.
Each month, we will highlight organisations that are tackling critical challenges, whether it is education, poverty alleviation, elderly care, or sustainable livelihoods. Our goal is to make giving simple, meaningful, and effective, so that your contribution directly supports people and communities who need it most.
In this edition, we shine a spotlight on three organisations that exemplify commitment, innovation, and measurable impact. By learning about their work and supporting their campaigns, you can become part of their journey and help create lasting change.
1. Let’s Educate Children In Need (LECIN)
LECIN works with children from underserved communities to bridge learning gaps and make quality education accessible. Their current campaign Banana Khayega India, Tabhi Toh Padhega India focuses on nutrition as the foundation of learning. By ensuring children get bananas, they provide the energy and nourishment kids need to stay focused in school. Your support can make a direct difference to these children and their learning journey.
Why they inspire us:
LECIN recognises that education cannot happen in isolation. Their unique approach—tying nutrition to learning outcomes—addresses a root cause of poor school performance that is often overlooked. It’s this fresh, practical thinking that makes them stand out.
2. Trickle Up India
Trickle Up India empowers people living in extreme poverty to build sustainable livelihoods. Through seed capital, training, and mentorship, they help individuals lift themselves and their families out of poverty. Donating to Trickle Up means contributing to long-term change, giving people the tools and guidance they need to create a better future for themselves.
Why they inspire us:
Trickle Up doesn’t just offer temporary relief—it enables systemic change. Their focus on self-reliance and capacity building means that your contribution has ripple effects, helping families break cycles of poverty for good.
3. HelpAge India
With over 40 years of experience, HelpAge India supports older people to live with dignity, health, and security. They provide healthcare services, livelihood opportunities, and advocate for policy changes. Donations help fund health camps, emergency support, pensions, and community programmes, improving the lives of elderly people across India. Every contribution goes a long way in ensuring a safer and healthier life for the elderly.
Why they inspire us:
Ageing with dignity is a universal human right, yet elderly care is often neglected in conversations about social impact. HelpAge India’s consistent, nationwide work fills a critical gap—supporting a generation that has given so much, yet often receives so little.
Stay tuned for our next edition of the monthly giving guide, where we will feature more organisations doing remarkable work across India.
