Dear Sir/Madam,
We have one organisation called Rural Environment and Education Development Soceity(India) working for the upliftment of rural poor in andhra Pradesh. We are helping about 5 lakh population in Krishna district who are infected and affected by HIV/AIDS and providing various home based care and support services. Among them there are around 200 orphan children who lost their parents due to HIV/AIDS. for them we would like to start an orphan home. Kindly suggest a donor to help them to lead healty and happy life.
Firstly hats off to the all of you here who are working so actively toward social causes.
There are many people who would like to donate money to NGO's for social causes, however there is the question of accountability as to how and where NGO funds are being utilised. There is a perception true or untrue that most of the money does not really reach the target segment. What is the opinion of members here about this issue?
