Update on giving options

By Anandhi Yagnaraman | CEO, Catalysts for Social Action

A wholehearted thank you from the children and all of us here at Team Catalysts for Social Action for supporting us through GlobalGiving, especially through the unprecedented times of the pandemic.

Your donations have helped CSA transform the lives of countless vulnerable children in India over the years providing them with quality education, better health, nutrition and pertinent life and work skills to help them get a brighter future.

Unfortunately, our relationship has come to an abrupt end as GlobalGiving cannot disburse funds in India. GlobalGiving through whom you have contributed to our work was placed on the ‘Prior Reference Category’ (PRC) list of donors by the Ministry of Home Affairs, India in 2019. Since then, GlobalGiving has been unable to make disbursements to Indian-banked nonprofit partners, including CSA.

Despite their efforts over two years, the GlobalGiving team has been unable to get off the PRC list or identify an alternative disbursement solution. CSA can assure you that this is not a reflection on us as an organization. We’re a trusted and credible organization working across 4 states in India. GlobalGiving will contact you separately to discuss what happens to the donations you have made but have yet not been disbursed to us. You can reach us at connect@csa.org.in in case you need if further information about Catalysts for Social Action.

Thousands of vulnerable children are still living in India's child care institutions and they need your support. Continue walking with us on this beautiful journey that makes these children's dreams come true! Support us directly on our website.

In hope and gratitude,

Anandhi Yagnaraman, CEO, Catalysts for Social Action

Santa Banke Dekho

By Kinjal Mehta | Asst Manager |Communications & Donor Relations

It’s been a very difficult, frightening year for children, especially those in Child Care Homes where there has been a huge influx of children newly abandoned during Covid or have lost parents to the virus. So our mission was to help them end the year on a cheerful, loving note - by being their best Santa Claus ever!

For children living in shelter homes this season of festive cheer and happiness is just another day in their lives so we thought of making a special effort to make it a fun-filled Christmas for them this year. But with the pandemic resulting in a major crunch in funds and increasing the number of children in homes, buying gifts for each child and giving them special treats like plum cake is a luxury that they cannot afford. We have always worked towards creating and ensuring a brighter future for every child under institutional care. Often abandoned by parents, orphaned at a young age, abused or having parents who are unfit to take care of them, these children deserve a fun end to this hard pandemic year.

“We play Secret Santa with our friends, family and colleagues but who better to give a fun filled Christmas than to the kids under our care. Anyone can be a Santa to them through this campaign and fulfill their dreams,” said Henal Shah, Head Communications and Fundraising, CSA.

All it takes is 1000 to sponsor gifts and a special meal for each child. Together we can make sure these kids are warm, loved and happy so they can end a terrible year on a cheerful note. So we reached out to our Corporate Partners, platofrms like GlobalGiving and various fundraising platforms and made an effort to cheer these children by celebrating christmas, arranging a christmas party and give them happiness and good memories. With all the contributions that were rceieved we arranged christmas party across all our homes.

Our Goal was: Be the Santa Claus they all need, make them feel special at the end of a very hard pandemic year. Donate now
