Help rural women get smokeless cookstoves (chulhas) and do your bit for their health and for a cleaner environment!

 

Every week 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! "Help me get a smokeless cookstove and let’s do our bit for a cleaner environment!" This week, donate to help rural women get smokeless cookstoves (chulhas) and do your bit for their health and for a cleaner environment! Tomorrow, 16th September, marks a very importantday - World Ozone Day. The protective layer around our planet that saves us from the harmful UV rays of the sun has depleted and left us all exposed to the dangers of climate change. There is increasing evidence that many household energy solutions that are “clean” for health are also clean and beneficial for the environment. Clean-burning stoves can also reduce emissions of methane and carbon monoxide. This Tuesday, by donating to CHINAR, you can do your bit to help save the planet and improve the lives of tribal women too. CHINAR, a GuideStar India Transparency Key certified NGO, works in remote villages of the Himalayan region. Women here still use wood-fired chullahs to cook food. This results in harmful smoke released in this otherwise pristine mountainous region and also poses serious health hazards for the women themselves. CHINAR wants to equip tribal women with smokeless cooking equipment and YOU have the power to make this possible. So, this Tuesday, and on World Ozone Day save the planet and help these amazing women with your act of kindness!

Volunteer to teach English for one hour every week!

Every week 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! With Teacher's Day in India being just 4 days away, have you have been remembering your wonderful teachers and wanting to express gratitude for the gift of education? One of the best things you could do to "pay it forward", would be to join this amazing online community of 1500+ volunteers who connect with their "Sunflower" and "Butterfly" (yes, they love the experience so much that this is how many of them refer to their learners) once a week for an hour of chat over a simple phone call! We all know, just being able to converse in English, significantly improves the prospects of getting a better paid job. It improves access to higher education too. Volunteer to teach English for one hour every week from wherever you are, in India or overseas. The awesome volunteer coordinators (they are super volunteers) connect you with your learner and you identify mutually convenient time slots and get started with the well structured curriculum. Want to get started right away? Just visit https://www.letsteachenglish.org/ In case you wish to sign up learners (youth, elders, helpers, security staff, delivery persons at your home or office), go ahead with filling the sign up form for learners at the same website!   What will you be doing to celebrate your compassion on GivingTuesdayIndia?

Every act of giving has a story. What’s yours?

Every week 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 week, we request you to share your giving story to strengthen the generosity movement!

    Giving is such a personal experience, and leaves us with so many warm memories. Be it an impromptu act of kindness when you helped someone get ahead of you in a long queue, when you shared a meal with a stranger, paid for the takeway for the person behind you... or an incident that moved you so much that you started giving more consistently and thoughtfully, your time/ talent/ money...just reflecting on those moments and sharing them with the world could kindle the spirit of generosity in others!

Your story could be the reason for someone starting or furthering their giving journey!

 

Do tell your giving story! Publish your story at: https://www.givingtuesdayindia.org/my-giving-story.

You can also read and vote for the many stories that are already published there!
