EVERY PENNY DIRECTLY CHANGING LIVES
India Direct is a small charity rooted in Macclesfield, Cheshire, and now based in Bramhall.
We help those most in need, as identified by our Indian Partners, regardless of race, religion or colour. Our projects are based in Tamil Nadu, India.
At India Direct, we have a simple philosophy: from every penny that we raise or receive in donations we spend 100% on those that matter. We don’t spend money on staff, marketing or plane fares. We audit our accounts and ensure accountability by making regular trips to India paid for by individual trustees, not from the charity.
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE TODAY
Your donation will make a difference. We’ll spend 100% of all donations directly on the causes that matter. Trustees and volunteers give their time, talents and resources freely. All UK administrative costs are kept to an absolute minimum, and these are recouped from the Gift Aid claimed from HMRC.
OUR PROJECTS
Our projects are located in Tamil Nadu India. We spend 100% of your donation on these projects, nothing less.
