Why am I doing this? Even though other children may be born less privileged than you, they have the same amount of potential. All lives are equal. But all humans are not treated equal. Because life is unfair. And what Vipla and other NGOs do is bring fairness to a world with no order, by allowing everyone to realise their potential. My goal is to allow children to realize how remarkable they are and to realise how much they can help and change this world. For every rupee donated, a smile will form on someone's face. So let’s be the change we want to see in this world.

Appeal

The United Way Of Mumbai is a marathon run by Tata where you can run as well as donate to NGOs to help make the world a better place.
Here is a list of projects they've worked on: https://www.unitedwaymumbai.org/#

This isn’t just a world. It’s your world. Our world. You don’t have to donate for others, you can donate for yourself too. Because by helping other people, you will be making this world a better and safer place to live in for yourself and your loved ones. And you can go to sleep happily while having faith in the human race and our efforts to mend the wounds that we caused.
There is an <1% chance that one is born into an easy life with the freedom to do whatever they wish. And the chances are if you’re reading this, you’re one of those people. You’re just lucky. So why not spend 2 minutes of your time to help the 99% who aren’t? You have a tremendous amount of power in your hands. With an action equivalent just to just a wisp of your time and money, children will be saying “Thank You” to you their whole life.

About Vipla:
“35 years ago a spirited lady from Mumbai underwent a life changing experience when she saw some children huddled together shivering and clinging to each other for comfort and warmth at a traffic signal in the heavy July rain in Mumbai. Their vulnerability moved her heart immeasurably and went on to inspire the foundation of VIPLA.
Our Founder Mrs. Vipula Kadri, fondly known to her friends as ‘Vipla’, found instant support in her loved ones and began her journey into the world of social development.
Today Vipla Foundation builds on her spirited determination to ensure that nothing stops the children of India from learning, growing and flourishing. This has translated into impacting countless lives of children from vulnerable communities across India. We remain committed to investing more at the very grassroots to bring change. We enable every opportunity that can help children and children with disabilities build dignified and self-reliant lives. In our efforts and interventions, we are abundant, and just like the earth – generous, inclusive and kind.
Save The Children India is now known as Vipla Foundation.?A new name. A renewed commitment to ensure that nothing stops the children of India from learning, growing and flourishing.
At our core lies the intention to ensure that nothing stops the children of India from learning, growing and flourishing.
This is why we build our programs on two major pillars – Early Interventions and System Strengthening. We believe that early interventions not only improve the quality of lives of our beneficiaries vastly, but also save time and stretched resources. To achieve the same effect sustainably and on a large scale, we collaborate with governments, institutions and other non-profit organisations. Our efforts in training, sensitizing and developing measuring systems help policy advocates and stakeholders make timely, effective decisions and changes.
At Vipla Foundation, we strive to achieve our goals with an approach that encourages ownership and makes us impact oriented. Our solutions account for every stakeholder’s opinion, ensuring that inclusivity stays at the heart of every transformation we lead. It is important that we always support each other, because as a collective we can bring change to the lives that need it the most.”
