What we publish, what we do not, and where your contribution actually goes.
Where Your Money Goes
How donations support our initiatives
Your contribution helps us support community initiatives such as food distribution, educational materials and essential supplies.
In practice, a donation becomes one of a small number of concrete things: rice, dal and vegetables for the next khichdi cook; notebooks, pens and geometry boxes for a school distribution; raincoats bought in bulk before the monsoon; blankets bought before winter; grocery staples packed into kits for families who cannot reach a centre.
We are a volunteer-run organisation. The people cooking and serving are not paid to be there.
What we publish
The impact figures shown across this website are our own totals, counted from distribution records kept at our centres. We update them when they change and we do not round them upward.
We do not publish claims we cannot evidence. You will not find invented beneficiary counts, unverified awards or borrowed statistics anywhere on this site.
Documents
Registration documents, annual statements and other formal records will be published here as they become available for public release. If you need a specific document for your own compliance or reporting, please write to us and we will respond directly.
For the site administrator: replace this block with links to the actual documents once they are available. Do not add tax-exemption, registration or certification statements to this website until the corresponding certificate is in hand.
Your donation, step by step
- You choose an amount and what it should support.
- Our server asks Razorpay to create an order. No payment details are entered on this site.
- Razorpay Checkout collects the payment on Razorpay's own secure interface.
- Razorpay returns a payment reference and a signature.
- Our server verifies that signature against our secret key before recording anything.
- Only then is the donation marked successful, and only then is your receipt emailed.
We store your name, email, phone, chosen purpose and Razorpay's reference identifiers. We never store card numbers, CVV, UPI PINs or banking passwords — those never reach this website at all.
Questions
If anything on this page is unclear, or you would like to know more about a specific drive, please contact us. We would rather answer a question than have you wonder.
