International Activities

1 We request our donors to consider making a donation to Care and Serve to help poor communities in India in areas of health and education. 2 We give these donors a list of those charity organisations about which we have either first hand information ( such as visiting the organisation in person ) or have collected information through our friends on transparency, and effectiveness of the programs. 3 The donor sends money to Care and Serve a/c from which we send this money to that charity organisation chosen by the donor. 4 Before the end of the financial year we ask each charity organisation to send us a report on the project supported by pictures, videos if possible. 5.Before the end of the financial year we ascertain from the charity organisation whether the funds were used in the project identified by the donor and in the best possible ways. This is done either by personal visit or our close friend in India talking to the recipients of the funds.
