The world’s largest population of blind people lives in India. Over 8 million people, to be exact. The majority of them lack access to even the most basic medical facilities because they reside in the nation’s most underdeveloped regions. But did you know that if they had received prompt treatment, nearly half of them might not have become blind? Sightsavers India realises the importance of eye health and thus through its programmes ensures availability of affordable, quality eye health services in rural districts, urban slums, government schools and to the underprivileged community.

Saw a post being like “if a fundraiser is a scam who cares if some people lose $15 to a scam anyway” and it really has me caught off guard because it’s like ?? Any genuine concern is not for a few people losing out on some money - it’s that people in need, the intended recipients, don’t get the money. And they are not losing out on one donation, they get the cumulative effect of however many donations are instead scooped up by grifters. There’s only so much money people are able to give.

you guys realize that majority of these palestinian donation dms and posts are scams right? no one in gaza right now (which is a warzone with little electricity and internet) is sitting down in front of a computer asking teenagers for money on tumblr- especially if their family member(s) is dying like these messages always state. these people are fighting for their lives dodging bombs. you're giving money to selfish opportunistic scumbags taking advantage of the situation to make a profit. common sense, people. please.

Hello, I'm Mohmmed Akram, This is my brother Ahmed

We live in Gaza, which has been suffering from war for more than 10 months.

I had a lot of ambitions and dreams that I was working to achieve, but all that faded from the start of this brutal war.

10 months of bombing, destruction, suffering, displacement and death.

Our house was destroyed at the beginning of the war on Gaza and I had to flee inside Gaza at the beginning since the third day of the war before I was taken out of it (to the south),

So that all our fortunes, memories and lives will be smarted out before October 7th. The costs now are heartbreak and unspeakable and unbearable conditions, in a tent that cannot be described .

It was one of the worst days in which this cruelty and famine were thrown upon us. On that nightmarish day, a school housing a large number of displaced children and women was targeted in this place. My brother Ahmed was injured in the head as he was trying to make a living during these famines.

My brother Ahmed is injured

Unfortunately, due to the presence of many among them, shocks, cases of fainting, needs, medical care needs, problems and difficult circumstances, but your help, my friends, standing next to Ahmed Kakh, is for you. He and his family need help to enable them to overcome this disaster and suffering.

Thank you for your interest and reading, and I hope you can help, if only a little ❤

So, not only did Harry and Meghan finance this trip with their own resources, their Archewell Foundation just announced three major contributions to support education, culture and community well-being in the areas they visited.

I can’t believe that one simple question of- “hey should I donate to this nonprofit organization that brings happiness to me and others” -has brought such fucking vitriol out of some of y’all…

..,if your cause is driving you to tell people to kill themselves because they thought about donating $5 to a fanfiction website, maybe you should go outside, touch grass, and rethink your morals, yeah?

In the face of the harsh cold this winter, my three children—Toleen (6 years old), Layan (2 years old), and Walid (3 years old), who suffers from a disability that prevents him from walking—are living in extremely difficult humanitarian conditions. We lack even the simplest means of warmth and safety, and my children are in desperate need of warmth and heavy winter clothing. The nights are long and painful, with the sound of the wind filling the air while my children's small bodies shiver from the cold.

Walid, who requires special care and ongoing physical therapy, is suffering even more in this weather, especially with the absence of essential medicines and medical supplies he needs. The simplest necessities, like milk, diapers, and clean clothes, have become a distant dream. Yet, I am doing everything in my power to provide a dignified life for my children.

Any help, no matter how small, will make a big difference in their lives. 💔🙏

negative connotations to Arabic phrase ‘God is Great’ incorrect. average praying Muslim does takbir (says Allahu Akbar) a minimum 95 times a day and should have been counted.

‘I can’t find good clothes in charity shops! I have to buy from SHEIN!’

Brev I just got a slutty as hell top + a chunky bracelet + a carrier bag for £3 in a charity shop smaller than my bedroom. And they didn’t even charge me for the carrier bag.

Maybe the charity shops aren’t the problem. Maybe you just dress like a loser.

Hi, I wanted to ask your thoughts on idols and how there are many cases where excused from doing "controversial" stuff because theyre supposedly ignorant, not all fans do this but they are rarely held accountable for some things. Now I don't agree with attacking people for these things nor do I agree that ALL things I've seen pointed out are controversial, but surely idols need to be globally aware at this point? And have a PR team to filter through their ignorance? Even jimin who was already very cautious on social media said yesterday that he's being extra careful now that he's a soldier.

Hi Anon,

I'd like to ask you a follow-up question: what do you think Korean "idol" celebrities should be held accountable for?

Personally, I don't think "idol" celebrities are best placed to tackle political issues and take stands, first and foremost because they're not able to speak on issues in their own country, let alone ones happening across the world.

I also think a lot of Western fans have very Western-centric viewpoints that have them convinced that a person in Korea has the same kind of cultural knowledge as they do. I assure you they do not. Even people in the UK are very ignorant of sensitive political and cultural issues in Canada and the US, and they speak the same language.

Also, a lot of people who are terminally online have behaviour standards that do not match the real world.

So what do I expect? Let me put this in terms of my fav, Taemin. I expect him to continue making great art and making that his sole focus. And I expect him to listen and be earnest if he makes a public gaffe that may have hurt people — which is what he does, and then some. I don't expect anything more.

Idk who needs to hear this but

Do not send money to that person on Tumblr who says they're going homeless, starving, dying, etc. It is probably not real, ESPECIALLY not if it's in YOUR ASK BOX.

I know it'll make you feel better to help. If you really want to help someone, take the time to investigate their profile for credibility.

Signs of Credibility

Posts are unique with noticable effort put into them - look out for copy pasting

Many original posts unrelated to their struggles, especially interacting with peers and/or communities. Even more credible if they have their own community. - If their whole page is dedicated to their struggle and boosting others, it's probably not real.

Other social medias linked, with activities spanning over a long period of time (unrelated to donation style content)

Does not overshare details about their suffering - they only say what needs to be shared i.e "medical costs, battling cancer, etc."

No set amount of money needed is stated

Photos are unique, not stolen

Grammer is concise and consistent - those who are seriously trying to get help are going to try and present themselves nicely / professionally

Tags are relevant to the post / poster

There are definitely more signs of credibility to be noted, so feel free to add in the comments. PEACE 👌

honestly fascinated by people on here who will spend money to blaze their bad fanfiction that nobody wants to see instead of donating it to any of the dozens of life-saving escape gofundmes undoubtedly circulating on their dash

none of my business whether yall self ship with hazbin hotel characters or whatever, but since im seeing an influx of it (likely because of the new show) i'd like to remind yall to please boycott it (and pirate it if you must). it is being hosted on amazon, one of the BDS's pressure targets in the strike for palestine's cause– while it is acknowledged that you realistically cannot fully boycott targets like amazon (because of their monopoly over shipping), it will still be helpful to drop things sponsored by it that you ultimately do not need.

the self ship community has presented itself as an open and diverse community for years– prove it by being willing to stop giving profit to media that has a stake in hurting others.

support palestinian self shippers.
