What will you be doing to celebrate your compassion on GivingTuesdayIndia?
If you start doing a bit from now, you could make a BiG difference on Oct 6, 2020!

You could gift a cycle for a girl to attend school from money saved on your daily commute = ₹75 x 70 Days = ₹5250.

A bicycle which is a fitness and fun thing for some, is a life changer for many! Sponsor a bicycle for a young girl to continue her schooling!

Mann Deshi Foundation supports young girls continue their schooling by sponsoring bicycles for them. While most villages have primary schools, many don't have secondary schools and girls are often forced to drop out because it is difficult and too far to walk to the nearest secondary school. A bicycle ensures that they can continue schooling. Their education, thanks to a bicycle, can hugely change their lives!

Husbands and Housework!

Husbands and Housework!

Yes, we want you to think about it! What roles are husbands playing in different settings in these pandemic times? Beyond what you see in memes of husbands doing the dishes, cooking meals and mopping floors, husbands are taking on important roles in some homes due to the amazing work #NGOs have done in some communities. In some settings, they pose challenges and need to be engaged thoughtfully.

In Pimpri-Chinchwad, Pune, men are entering kitchens, taking care of kids and helping with housework. Not all men are doing so. Barriers still exist. Rucha Satoor, from Charkha Development Communication Network writes in this article that appeared in the

India Development Review

.

What is the one thing you would do about husbands taking up housework?

National Population Day

Care in the Time of Corona!

Lately, our homes have become our offices. Our colleagues, who were our main source of interaction and our pillars of support during stressful work situations, are now working remotely. For many, the initial excitement of working from home may now be wearing out. In fact, it can be daunting to realize that it is not so easy to maintain the same level of productivity and creativity, working away from vital support systems. Working remotely can present many challenges especially for those whose work involves face-to-face discussions every day in order to arrive at the right choices. Not being able to garner such support can become overwhelming and distressing for them.

So, after several weeks of working alone, battling to meet targets, number crunching, devising strategies in isolation, and keeping up a brave front, help some of the anxiety dissolve and angst diminish. One simple thing you can do is to pick up your phone and call up a colleague or two, and share your experiences of the new work set-up. Become an emotionally intelligent listener, express solidarity and ask about how they and their families are coping. And do not worry about the clock ticking away. It’s time for you to just talk and show that you care. Besides, an informal check-in with your team member can help identify priorities, keep potential obstacles at bay and help keep a healthy work-life balance.

National Doctor's Day - 1st Jul 2020

#EveryTuesday, we share an idea to show your kindness to the people or community around you! We believe your action will help spread generosity to make a better world!

This National Doctors' Day, we feel more grateful than ever for the selfless and heroic efforts of doctors who are working to save every life from COVID-19. Let's send our messages of appreciation and gratitude to doctors everywhere! Let's also do our bit to keep them safe by supporting campaigns for protective gear for doctors.

Let's also make it a day to applaud the services of doctors who have dedicated their lives to care for the needy. Some doctors have set up hospitals in remote areas, several have brought innovative approaches to community healthcare and protection, many doctors waive their fees or subsidise them, some doctors set up fundraisers, some set up daily/ weekly/ monthly slots to treat people in remote areas or public health facilities. Do send your best wishes to them and explore how you might help them!

ARMMAN, a GuideStar India Gold certified NGO, has started a pan-India free Virtual OPD (V-OPD) with the help of volunteer doctors. Pregnant women and mothers can call a toll-free number (1-800-212-1425) to reach obstetricians and pediatricians from Monday to Saturday. The V-OPD has 50+ volunteer obstetricians and gynecologists with 100 average daily inbound calls and a capacity to handle 250. Help them to reach women and children across the country who require medical guidance in these difficult times.Here's an immediate opportunity for you to support the work of doctors at ARMMAN:
