As the financial aid we currently received from foundations ended in the year 2009, and considering the scope of our visions, RIDE happily accepts donations. We believe even the smallest donation can go a long way in eradicating child labour and promoting economic self-sufficiency among the rural poor of Tamil Nadu.
We accept donations ranging for Rs.250 / $5 onwards or whatever you can afford.
Indian donors should contribute directly to Rural Institute for Development Education (RIDE) to the address given below in order to receive an 80-G tax deduction.
