How do I raise funds for orphanage?
Other than applying to grants, appealing to donors, and doing public presentations here is the Crowdfunding approach.I would go online and raise a GoFundme page or #indiegogo page.Check out a few other crowdfunding websites.How much funds are you looking to raise? If you do not know, set a goal. Factor in just how much money you will need for your orphanage.When it comes to the specific crowdfunding campaign I would include:Multiple pictures of the locationThe children who are at the orphanageWhat the money is specifically going to. (ie fixing plumbing, construction, windows, food, books, etc.)You will need:A computerA camera(possibly editing software if you are making a video)Best of luck!
Does anyone know of any orphanages located in bangalore, whom are doing a REALLY great job at caring for kids?
There is one Rukum School for blinds at CMH. I dont know the address exactly but it is after 100ft Rd, on the road parallel to MK Retail. It is next to Hema Stores. If you want I can get you the phone number, I might be going there soon. They also accept old newspapers, clothes, food. I have no idea about their accounts. We generally donate newspapers & clothes & food items. If you are not sure about the accounts then instead of donating money, you can take some sweets etc & distribute that among children. There is another which is I guess Shishu Bhawan (gosh! it is so close & I dont remember the name but I guess it has got sponsers) I can get you its phone number also. If you have TP Yellow Pages, this orphanage is listed there & a lot more. This one is in Cambridge Layout very close to Cambridge Hospital. Personally, I will advise you to start from home. A friend of mine told me that the Orphanages get lot of donations so may be you can try to help out those people who have no where to go. Your maid or other kids working on the road or may be you can distribute the amount & donate some in Orphanages & some for others.

How does it feel after visiting an orphanage?
Hi,I would give my experience of my connection with orphanages.I still remember my 1st visit to an orphanage on my birthday (5 years back). Me with few my friends had collected few books and some grocery from the amount saved by cancelling my Birthday celebration..! It was one of the most memorable day in my life..!We stayed with those beautiful kids for a very long time than what was planned. On that day we decided to contribute something towards needy part of the society. Since then I have been going to orphanages and being in touch with them regularly.During my next visit (which was a full day planned activity), I observed that the children are burdened with some deep inner feeling which was not exactly sorrow. They didn’t open out immediately. They were not feeling comfortable to speak and enjoy freely with us. We indulged them in various activities which they liked and get much chance to enjoy. For eg watching funny and educational videos on big screen (We had taken projector). We danced on some random DJ songs. We ate some spicy junk food (As they don’t like sweets much). We played various games and outdoor sports. And since our second a small thin bond was created between all of us..!And then these kids were equally eager like we were for our next visits..! So since then we have been going there often..! When you are with them you get to learn many life changing lessons..! Firstly every individual has some tragic story through which they have come. Initially when I use to listen to their stories, It felt like our heart is tearing apart..! In my visit I had a deep sympathy for those children..! But within next visits, my sympathy turned into a strong bond of care, love and affection.!Every-time we went there to teach them something, we ourselves learned many life lessons..! Today due to some genuine reasons I am not able to visit that orphanage regularly..But I still often call them and enjoying talking with them..:-)
What are the most effective ways to raise funds for orphans, particularly in India?
Social media can help maximize fundraising. Through social media, communications can be made with images and videos which help get messages conveyed to target groups effectively. This serves an array of functions like conveying to donors what specifically their money will be used for, along with updates on achievements attained using the funds that have been raised. Such messages will reach a larger group of people, thereby creating a wider impact.According to reports, social media audiences for nonprofits has increased. With 23% growth on Facebook; 50% growth on Twitter; and a whopping 101% growth on Instagram, nonprofits have doubled their audiences in a single year.One of the features should a NGO website have in order to maximize fundraising is Digital paymentsWith the onset of demonetization, payments through digital gateways are on a rise. Various systems are now available like credit/debit cards, e-wallets such as Paytm, Freecharge, UPI, RTGS, NEFT, IMPS, and USSD. It is just a matter of convenience for the user to donate through different channels. Accepting only cash or one mode of payment can make you lose out on potential donors.To know more on this, check here.
What are the reasons people want to start an orphanage?
There are many reasons, but it’s helpful to know that about 80% of the children in orphanages world-wide aren’t orphans and have at least one living parent.There are many who do it for profit, as it can be easy to raise money from Western charities and religious organizations. They people usually recruit children from poor areas and promise their families that they’ll receive an education or other benefits. Then they’ll call the children orphans and solicit funding for foreigners. Many times they’ll have land, buildings, and other donated to them which are then owned by them personally. It’s basically a form of human trafficking and unfortunately extremely common.Then there are people who start an orphanage with good intentions because they want to help orphans or children from broken families, but they aren’t aware of the extremely emotional and psychological harm that orphanages have on children. Orphanages usually focus on meeting a child’s physical and educational needs and unfortunately completely ignore a child’s emotional and social needs. Children need love, affection, and a positive consistent relation with an adult, and most orphanages have way too many children with not enough caregivers to adequately meet the children’s needs.The final category are those who start an orphanage just as a temporary place to take care of children until families can be found to care for them. Experts all agree that long-term institutional care of children is very harmful to their development and should only be used as a short-term solution except in a few circumstances. Family-style care like foster care, kinship-care, and adoption have proven to be better at meeting all of a child’s needs.
