DONATE

I have made contributions to PRASAD for many years and have been impressed by their sustained activities to: (1) promote the health and self-reliance of individuals in the rural Tansa valley region of Maharashtra, India; (2) provide cataract surgery to individuals in the Tansa valley and in Mexico; and (3) operate a mobile dental clinic in a high need area in the Catskill mountains of upstate New York. In addition to efficiently providing much-needed services and programs, PRASAD also does a great job of providing regular updates on its program and transparency regarding its finances. I had the good fortune to spend a day a few years ago helping with the delivery of milk to elementary school children in the Tansa Valley and was able to see how they make the most of every penny of donations and provide services in a way that promotes the self-respect of those they serve. I appreciate that they also act as a conduit for donations to address natural disaster relief efforts - I know I can trust them to partner with organizations that will be thoughtful and efficient in providing services.

It is with a happy heart that I write to you in recognition and gratitude for the wonderful humanitarian projects PRASAD provides to communities around the world. In particular the relief to many communities affected by floods, earthquakes and other natural events, offering food, shelter and emergency services at these crucial times.

Further, the on-going medical and nutritional health programs in India, the restorative and preventative dental health program to children in need, receiving an award from the New York State Dental Foundation as well as the eye surgery camps providing restored vision of thousands of adults and children in Mexico, confirm the commitment and dedication of PRASAD to this global humanitarian mission.

Thank you and may your light continue to expand and shine even brighter.

We have had total faith in the trustworthiness of PRASAD over many years and will continue to donate for many more years to come, to this wonderful cause.

I've followed and supported PRASAD's work in the Tansa Valley of India and in upstate New York for over 25 years. The scope, depth, and breadth of their work is reflected in everything from improvement in a child's dental health to the empowerment of entire communities through self-help agricultural programs. As a volunteer with their health programs in India, I saw firsthand how effective their work is. Well worth supporting.

We have supported PRASAD since it started. A few years ago, we visited India and saw the PRASAD activities firsthand, they go to the root cause of poverty and poor health and educate and train people to take responsibility for their own well-being. This means the donations are used effectively and efficiently, having an enormous positive impact on the communities. I have also seen this firsthand with the dental program in NY. The small team works hard to deliver valuable services cost-effectively. BRAVO - my favorite nonprofit.
