Children and families who live in abject poverty are often forced to give up the very basic necessities of a fulfilled life, such as education, the enjoyment of childhood, and basic comforts in living. This lack of basic needs is felt even greater by people who are affected by catastrophes such as natural disasters, fires, droughts, floods, and even epidemics. People subjected to such cataclysmic activities lose most of their belongings and even their homes. In both these cases, rehabilitation becomes pivotal. The following are some of the items that you can donate directly to a cause in lieu of money. These can be old items that you no longer wish to use, or newly purchased items that you wish to procure and sponsor for the rehabilitation. Please visit our Donate Other Items page for more information on how to send any of the required material.
