We often unknowingly stock up a surplus of supplies for ourselves, so that we never run out of things that we need. Unfortunately, there are many who struggle to make ends meet and can never have even enough for their needs. As responsible citizens and sensitive individuals, many now realize that resources are to be shared and excess of what they own should go to charity, for others’ well being as well as their own fulfillment.Â
However, with several NGOs and charitable organizations mushrooming all over, it is difficult to differentiate between those that genuinely help the needy and those that don’t. This has made it difficult for those who may want to truly help the lesser privileged but fail to make a move as they believe that their donations might be misused. Â
Have you wanted to do your bit for society but we're not sure how to do it? AASA’s Project Sambhaavna is all about giving, sharing and donating.Â
Whether it’s food, grocery, stationery or clothes, anyone can contribute through Project Sambhaavna. AASA helps you to reach out to the deserving children, youth, women, and senior citizens and ensures that your contribution reaches the right hands and makes a positive impact. Project Sambhaavna attempts to revive humanity and compassion hidden in each individual’s soul and make each one realize what the power of ONE can do.Â
We at AASA coordinate between donors and orphanages, shelter homes, old age homes, etc., to deliver donated items such as rice, pulses, clothes, blankets, shoes, towels and medicines to the needy. As for children, donations of stationery and notebooks, and even donations of old sets of textbooks which are in good condition will be of immense help.Â
AASA proved its efficiency in organizing such resources of contributions when it helped with the rehabilitation efforts during the Kerala floods in 2018-19. AASA’s commitment to avail release of funds for 5-year-old Ayushi, a cancer patient, from the CM’s Relief Fund earned appreciation from all quarters.Â
While there is no limit to the amount that you can contribute, there is no “minimum†threshold imposed for donations either. Even a small contribution can go a long way in helping out the disadvantaged. Apart from monetary contributions, even items of daily use, such as creams, soap and washing powder can be given as donations.Â
AASA also goes the extra mile to extend the charity shown by a few hundred to thousands of rural students who survive on a bare minimum. Their biggest challenge is having a wholesome diet and healthy living conditions, which creates a conducive environment for their studies. Unfortunately, such balance is rarely achieved. Project Sambhaavna aims to spread enough and more awareness about the plight of such rural students and source in contributions that will help build a better lifestyle for them, which will eventually enable them to emerge as healthy, educated and independent citizens of the country.Â
