It most certainly will. A small amount goes a long way. In fact, individual contributions form almost 90 to 95% of our income. Taken together, it is these seemingly small contributions that collectively add up to a large amount needed to affect change. Stand N Stride Foundation provides the opportunity to help children in whatever way you can. You can contribute money, materials, time or skills. When everybody comes together and pitches in, no task is impossible. This collective action has an impact and brings about change. Every individual’s contribution is important.

Do you disclose the name,address and complete family details of any child todonors?

We believe that the work we do gives children what is rightfully theirs. Beneficiaries must not be made to feel obliged for the support they receive. Hence, rather than supporting individual children, we pool the resources we raise and disburse them to the programs we support. This is done to ensure that there is no differentiation between children. And while the names of children are withheld, we encourage you to visit the projects we support, so that you can see the various ways to which your resources are being put.
