    1. The Non Government Organisations and the Charitable Institutions in the nonprofit sector cannot take the complete responsibilities of the task, without a collective help and commitment of many like minded people like you. They cannot cure the ills and apathies of Society by themselves.

    Social change is a collective product of commitment and endeavour of you and me. All of us, together - can make a difference, even if it is in a small way, in our own sphere, and can find ways to help that will make our efforts worth the time and the concern we show toward them.

    A glaring example could be the American house holds who donate an average of 3.1 percent of their annual income to Charities. This constitutes to about 89 % of the people.

    People who have contributed money to a charity - report that they get back in satisfaction and joy  more than they ever expend in inconvenience or effort - what you get back is immeasurable. You’ll also receive these benefits:
    1. Giving back to the society for fulfillment of your obligation to the mankind and society. It gives you the highest sense of contentment and achievement.
    2. Giving others enhances your self esteem.
    3. Giving lets those who have more, share with those who have less. It makes you the contributor in shaping the lives of others who are talented but economically under privileged.
    4. Giving encourages more giving - you can set an example for others.
    5. Financial donations and contributions give tax exemptions

We are responsible citizens. We do realize our sense of responsibility towards the society and share a great concern to contribute to shape a better world. We need to create better citizens, for shaping a better world. This is a great mission in each of our minds, but we need to come together to accomplish our mission.

Take an initiative; you can derive immense happiness when you see the smiling eyes of the beneficiaries, in what ever the way you extend your hands of help.

2. You might be thinking, "The little bit that I/We can do will never help much!" or "What in the world can I/we do?" If you've ever spent ten minutes reading a book to a lonely child, you know that even that small amount of compassion and attention can make a world of difference.

No one  person can solve the world's problems, but what little you and I do can make our little corner of the  world-or one far away from us a happier, healthier, safer place to live for those who need our  help. Each of us can right a wrong, fill a plate, visit a shut-in or clean up a park - and that does make a difference for us all!

SAHA endeavours to light the knowledge of the persons and extend a helping hand to save the talented students from heading to perish.

We need not be too rich to help someone to change his or her life, for tiny drops of water (the smallest contributions that you and I make will shape up as great rivers and oceans). These drops of water turn to pearls when they are into a right place – the shell. These tiny drops of help are precious pearls.

Can I choose to donate for a particular purpose? What if I don’t give such choice?

You Can choose the way your money be utilized. The ‘Donor’s Information page’ will give you  various options to choose from financial donations, knowledge donation or donations in kind to  students in the form of books and computers or software programmes. You may like to sponsor Infrastructural facilities too or feeding the students at the hostels.  You may also suggest your own way for utilization of the money given by you, in any areas of the project being implemented.

We send you a report on the way the donations are utilized either by an email or snail mail, which ever you may prefer.

In case of no specific choice made, we would utilize the funds as a corpus for the general purposes of furthering the academic pursuits by SAHA.
