underprivileged students are being supported

by Padakshep. We have disbursed $ 5215 or

approximately Rs. 2.5 lakhs in these three

years.

Fundraising and planning our budget

We understand that the donors’ hard earned money

should be spent on the very purpose that Padakshep

was created for. Our primary fundraiser happens in

March and April as we start supporting more

underprivileged students every year. This year we

raised $ 3177 and supported eleven students. To create

more impact, we will need your continued

support.

We are supporting four new beneficiaries this year. Debasish Paramanik, Sathi, Suman and Ankhijur will receive support from Padakshep in addition to Debasis Mondal, Amit, Shibsankar, Subhadip and Sanjoy. 

Efficient spending

The directors, the officers and the volunteers at Padakshep do not

receive any compensation for their services. In 2011, 91% of the

total expenditure went only for the charitable purpose of Padakshep.

Government fees and other service fees accounted for the rest.

Although a small nonprofit, Padakshep is doing great in every

department of expenditures. Get an idea on how a nonprofit

should manage its expenditure from charity navigator website.

I joined Padakshep thinking its a nice organization which collects money to help poor bright students. I found its much more than that. Padakshep volunteers are a truly dedicated bunch who go way beyond their responsibilities to make a difference in the lives of its beneficiaries.

Padakshep is essentially run by student volunteers from across the globe. These students are studying at various universities or colleges and apart from their studies, they love to work for Padakshep. They are the ones who created Padakshep with a passion for helping out the underprivileged students. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of them. Know them individually.
