Wow! I think why most people don't donate in India because they think their money doesn't make any impact.

https://open-data.karuna2020.org this is game changer. I wish more NGOs in India would do it.

And good luck!

That's changing. People in India did donate in flying colors in the last one week. To help with Covid19, PM-CARES fund was announced by Prime Minister Modi on March 28th. In a week since then, it has raised almost a billion USD. The super rich did donate well. But so did the common people - via UPI digital payments.
