Sakshi spends over 90% of the funding it receives directly on the projects for the children and communities setting up schools, buying books and medicines, building toilets etc. Average for other NGO's is 40%-60%. We have low overhead costs because:

• We are a grassroots organization with our own centres so we can directly funnel the funds where they are needed without any other intermediary organization layer.

• Our Executive and Board Leadership are well-established professionals in their fields of medicine and business. They work pro bono for Sakshi and are in fact major donors to Sakshi covering main overheads like HQ rent and other costs themselves.

• Spearhead A SAKSHI NGO "Get Involved" Drive: These are just two small examples of how individuals led the people around them in making a difference.

  • A girl from a Scottish School got Sakshi enlisted as one of the three recipients of the school's Sunday collections in Church.

  • A German student who had volunteered with us got together with other German students to create a calendar. The monies she raised were used to buy water filtration systems for the two education centres she volunteered at so children who forgot to bring water bottles did not have to stay thirsty through the day.
