GWALIOR CHILDRENS HOSPITAL CHARITY
[Regd.Charity No 1063694]

WAYS FOR YOU TO HELP!

A little goes a very long way in India - and there are many ways an individual or an organisation can make a real difference. Sometimes, when we look at the need, the prospect seems daunting. But we carry on, remembering the simple adage that "because you can't do everything, it doesn't mean you should do nothing".

BE A DONOR.

You can be sure that what you give makes a difference --- for these reasons.

• Because money goes a long way, especially in the poorer parts of India, it will buy more.

• Because all running costs are met through the generosity of our trustees. Nothing is deducted for administration costs (unlike most welfare organisations).

• Because we have such dedicated volunteers who contribute thousands of hours transforming your donations into practical care and support, your money works even harder.

Although we operate in one of the poorest and most needy parts of India, the Gwalior Childrens Hospital receives no government support. Not from local authorities. Not from regional or state sources. Not from central government. So we are forced to rely on the generosity of people around the world, like you. Any contribution, however small, is very much appreciated .

Donations can be in Sterling, Indian Rupees, Dollars, Euros or any other convertible currency. All donations in India, UK or USA are tax exempt and, subject to local regulation, may have tax benefits to donors in those countries.

BE A ROVING REPRESENTATIVE

..and spread the word! Small charities such as ours cannot afford advertising or public relations. We rely on the goodwill of volunteers to get our message out to like-minded people who might assist us with our many tasks.. If you can give some time to publicise the urgent needs of Gwalior children or to tackle fundraising, we are ready to offer support for such activities. Please contact us for more information.
