Look, we’ve all seen it. The sad background music. The slow zoom on a child’s face. Im a 17 yr old cancer survivor and personally understand misery and financial troubles since ive seen them all around me. Im deeply sympathetic to children‘s health situations. Still, Im not on board with this style of fundraising. It’s manipulative, it’s tired, and It works on approximately nobody under 30 anymore. We just scroll past no matter how kind we are.
I’m an intern at NayePankh Foundation and I’ve been told my job is to fundraise. The problem is I have no connections, no budget, and a deep personal hatred of emotional manipulation as a marketing strategy. So here I am. On Reddit. Asking strangers for 10 Rs. The audacity.
Here’s what I have to say. Just read the post. NayePankh is student led, government registered, 80G certified (means donations are tax deductible btw). On their website you see smiling faces cos thats the impact they create. 2 lakh people fed, 1 lakh sanitary pads distributed, 25K homeless animals fed, 1 lakh clothes distributed, 1K people vaccinated and 2.5K children taught. So it doesnt matter what cause u support - NayePankh is doing its best to help them all.
Donating ₹10 to a student run NGO on Reddit is genuinely the most 2026 thing you can do today. You’re welcome for the personality trait. No pressure but If you read this far…maybe? Also pls pls pls mention my name - Kavika- as reference. and also plsss dm me the ss of it. (Im a broke student too lol) https://nayepankh.com/donate
