Computers and e-learning have promised to expand the basic nature of education, such as the ability to link written content with audio and visual material that can enrich the full range of the learner’s senses. The need for e learning is all the more important now. But access to computers and e-learning in marginalized communities and rural areas is either non-existent or very limited. During this pandemic all our classes have become virtual and smart phones are absolutely necessary for continuing education of children. Please help us to provide smart phones to underprivileged children. -
General fund is created and maintained by our NGO to cover general expenses not specific to a project/cause/need. This helps cover expenses vital to the running of the organisation. Expenses such as additional administrative expenses or unexpected overheads are met with such general funds. Most NGOs maintain a general fund to help them meet the donation gap created when donors donate only to a specific project/cause/need or any unexpected expense which may arises during the course of running the organisation.
