Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) were drawn from the Millenium Development Goals and were adopted by countries in September 2015 at a historic United Nations Summit. These new Goals apply to all nations that are supposed to achieve the SDGs in the coming 15 years. India, too, has been working fervently toward fulfilling these with the help of Niti Aayog, the Indian government’s apex public policy think tank.
As India’s most trusted crowdfunding platform, Donatekart Foundation’s vision is to build an India in tandem with the SDGs. With more than 7 lakh unique donors and over 1400 partner NGOs, Donatekart is determined to give all those in need a better tomorrow.
While all the 17 SDGs are essential and require equal attention from the government as well as the social sector, Donatekart has focused on the following:
- Quality Education
- Zero Hunger
- Good health and well-being
- Sustainable cities and communities
- Empowering people with disabilities
- Disaster relief
Non-profits are an essential part of the community helping them reach several SDGs. They can be empowered to do more, and an essential component to accelerate this process is to rope in the corporates and their Corporate Social Responsibility.
Donatekart Foundation has had the pleasure to collaborate with several corporates and make a real difference. With Thinkerbell Labs and FirstSource Solutions, we have helped educate hundreds of visually-impaired children in India. Likewise, Amazon and Donatekart Foundation have joined hands and extensively helped the victims through meal kits during the dangerous Assam floods and Bangalore floods. With HDFC Parivatan Bank and partner NGOs, Donatekart Foundation has helped feed thousands of underprivileged kids and given them a better life. A strong believer in women’s empowerment, we have also partnered with the Avni Foundation for the distribution of sanitary napkins to school-going girls to ensure they have a healthy period.
Together with the help of non-profits, corporates, and generous donors, Donatekart is striving hard to build a better and brighter future for the country, closely aligning it with the Sustainable Development Goals.
