Mission Heal: Leading the Fight to Eradicate Poverty

Poverty is said to be the worst experience one can ever go through. With poverty, many other civil evils are bound to rise, including corruption, illiteracy, social-economic injustices, malnutrition and abuse of human rights among others. Mission Heal has come out to fight this challenge so as to help level the society and come up with one society with no social classes. This organization has simply become one of the most comprehensive NGO fighting any kind of social inequality in India today. However, there are major areas that have been considered crucial in the elimination of poverty in the society.


·         Supporting education of the underprivileged

Poverty has resulted in many children dropping out of school at tender ages, which is basically depriving them their rights. Lack of resources is something affecting many households across India today and the only solace they can get is a helping hand from the government or other stakeholders like NGOs where Mission Heal falls in. Poverty puts the future of children at risk, but Mission Heal works hard to ensure this never comes to pass. The organization runs a number of campaigns aimed at eradicating this vice once and for all. Among the activities that Mission Heal conducts includes distributing children with learning materials, free clothes, free food and generally encouraging many people to give a hand in helping the needy in the society.

·         Distribution of food and clothes

Besides children, the elderly, poor and disabled get challenged when it comes to putting food on the table at the end of the day. Mission Heal Trust is going round the country trying to identify various groups of people affected by poverty and supplying them with these basic needs as food and clothes. This campaign is mainly taken to various slums across the country and rural areas where many people live in destitute. Though this is not a campaign to eradicate poverty forever, it helps bring some hope to the needy in the society.

·         Promoting health awareness campaigns

It is during such campaigns that many people have come out in large numbers to help diagnose and treat various ailments many people are suffering from. A healthy individual will tend to work harder to provide for him/herself, thus the need to have a healthy working nation. During this campaign, professional medics and people of good will come out to support the needy in the society in various ways, including supply of food and clothes, free medical checkups and treatment for those in need. During this campaign, awareness on various diseases such as HIV and cancer is insisted on so as people become aware of them and how to fight them.

Mission Heal Trust only depends on the fundraising program to get its resources which are then channeled to the needy in the society. You can also be part of this noble job done by this organization in eliminating poverty and above all bettering lives of the less fortunate.You can donate or simply participate in the activities run by the trust. Be part of the change now!

What types of donors support the Mission Heal NGO financial needs

The operations of any NGO like Mission Heal are solely dependent on the funds that they get. Working for the funds for any NGO is as important as any other thing. The funds generated are solely used for the welfare of the community and nothing else. This is where the NGOs do point scoring and get funds to implement their welfare projects for the betterment of the community. Having a good mission and motive of an NGO is not enough to generate funds. They have to approach the donors in a systematic way. Further, a good relationship with donors should be established in order to get regular funding from them. The Mission Heal NGO has a very sophisticated program for generating funds for sponsoring their charitable and relief work for the welfare of the society. They recruit volunteers, especially for doing the critical fundraising campaigns on their behalf.


Types of funders for NGOs:

The NGOs should always give every donor the equal value no matter how big or small their donation is. They should believe in the fact that every penny counts and collectively small donations can make a difference in the state of the community. According to the Mission Heal NGO, there can be several types of funders for financially sponsoring the cause of an NGO. These funders broadly can be categorized into the following 4 types:

·         Individual donations – 
      A lot of small and some medium scale NGOs as well depend heavily on individual donations given by the generous people interested in the mission of your NGO. They can be big or small donations and there are several small NGOs who are totally funded by one or two individual donors for their entire welfare projects for the welfare of the community. Normally, no third party is involved in the individual donation process and both the parties can conveniently approach each other.

·         State Funding – 
      The state government for most of the rehabilitation, disaster management and in emergency situations, asks NGOs to work in collaboration with them. The state government is always in hunt of good NGOs who are doing the kind of work that the state government is looking for. On the other side, the NGOs too seek financial aid from the state government for their welfare operations in the community. If an NGO is able to convince the government with its proposal, then heavy grants are given to the Ngo. Further, the NGOs are also assured that the government would sponsor their cause in the future as well.

·         Corporate Funding –
      Corporate funding is somehow a new concept in India, but it is working out very well. A lot of NGOs in India approach several big corporate businesses to allocate funds for them.

·         International donations – 
      The NGOs can get a lot of foreign aid as well for their cause. For this matter, all the NGOs are required to get permission from the State of India.
