The official GiveIndia blog

Welcome!  We hope that by reading the GiveIndia blog, people who know a little about us will come to know more, and people who have never heard of us will come to know a little; that people who have wanted to give back but weren't sure how or where to will now be confident, and that people who have already placed their trust in us will spread the word.

How do you want to make a difference in October?

October is the month that we celebrate the birth of the Father of our nation -- Mahatma Gandhi.  Let's remember the sacrifices he made for us and let's try and do our little bit to make India a better place.
