For a reason; for love; for humanity; for YOU - Colorss

Forcing people to be generous isn’t humanitarian, effective, compassionate or moral. Only acts that are truly voluntary for all concerned can be truly compassionate.

Colorss Foundation is not a hell-raiser, it is a humanitarian being who has sympathy for mankind in the lump, faith in its future progress, and desire to serve the great cause of this progress, should be called not a humanist, but a humanitarian, and his creed may be designated as humanitarianism. The very only upward mobility of humanity is philanthropic. It is based in Pune, Baroda and Ajmer.

“If you have food in your fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of the world.
If you have money in the bank, your wallet, and some spare change you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness you are more blessed than the million people who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the agony of imprisonment or torture, or the horrible pangs of starvation you are luckier than 500 million people alive and suffering.
If you can read this message you are more fortunate than 3 billion people in the world who cannot read it at all.”

The Journey of Colorss.... thank you for your support!

Colorss Foundation has been setting an example for the humanity by putting love into giving. No one has ever become poor by giving and as Martin Luther King Jr. has stated, “Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.” Click on this link to read more.....http://www.thepunekar.com/2013/08/15/colorss-for-a-cause/

‘See Green’ - determined to be a fine integration of proposed solutions for some of the critical issues in the society! | Colorss Foundation

Every New Year brings in new opportunities for people, avenues to go by their resolutions and ways to achieve their dream. But, unfortunately some people get lost while looking around for such opportunities or probing for avenues and paths. Here, in Colorss we sincerely make an attempt to intertwine the right people with the right opportunity and further go on to create hope and strength in the people who will then pave way for a healthy society. Synonymous to this, starting this January, Colorss is coming up with a project – ‘See Green’ which is determined to be a fine integration of proposed solutions for some of the critical issues in the society. To give it a personal touch, we are creating an opportunity for each one of ‘you’ reading this to contribute in whatsoever manner possible to light hope and give strength to empower someone out there to stand up and live their life themselves. Read on to understand more about See Green. 

The Objectives of the Project:

1.     Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: We are appealing to educational institutions, organizations and individuals to donate old clothes. Thus bringing in, the ideas of 3R’s – Reduce, Reuse & Recycle.

2.     Production of Hand Stitched Bags: The collected old clothes will be distributed among women in rural and underprivileged households of Vadodara, who will then produce hand stitched bags made of these old clothes.

3.     Empowering Women: These bags would later be sold for a nominal price to interested vendors in and around Vadodara. The income earned would be given to the women, thus empowering them and improving their financial stability.

4.     Plastic Free: By encouraging people to use cloth bags, we will be contributing our share to building an eco-friendly environment, free of plastic.

What can you do?

1.     If you are in Vadodara, then do take a casual drive to drop by your old clothes.

2.     For schools, we have a collection drive that has been planned and the respective schools are expected to intimate the same to the students.

3.     If you are not around but still would like to contribute, then do spread the word about this project on twitter @colorss or alternately on G+.

4.     You can go a step ahead to encourage volunteers and like-minded people in your neighborhood to come up with an initiative as this one.

5.     Choose to fund for this project by being a sponsor.

A little action can make wonders. It will lead to mutual satisfaction and happiness and will give a new social meaning to your life. As Stephen Covey rightly said, ‘Life is just not about accumulation, it is also about contribution’. Act now.

As an intern to Colorss, Mr. Aditya Gupta a Doon School Alumnus who had been working on his idea 'See Green' is now a reality.

Colorss Foundation in partnership with Badhai.in; India's premier online gift voucher company

These are some real deserving NGOs with impeccable background and real focus on making change at the grass root level

Badhai.in, India’s premier online gift voucher company, has added another feather to its cap.  After launching various firsts in the industry Badhai.in has now added NGO’s as its affiliates. Now users can not only shop at leading brands but also donate to NGOs. Mr. Ajay Pandey, CEO and Founder, says, “It’s a direction in our endeavour to add goodwill to gifting. These are some real deserving NGOs with impeccable background and real focus on making change at the grass root level”. Given the fact that not all NGO’s have the distribution strength to raise funds, some deserving NGOs may end up losing out. Badhai.in has extended its platform and reach to these very organizations. Badhai.in has tied-up with Colorss Foundation - works towards the well being of underprivileged children. [Please click here to go Colorss’s page on Badhai.in and make your donations.] Then click on Donate and your donations. Ajay adds that “Many people are willing to donate but do not know if their contribution would ever reach the needy. Also there was an issue of time and convenience towards this effort. Therefore, we decided to open up our platform to these very people who could contribute without the slightest anxiety. It is a chance for individuals and corporate to connect with and support different charities, anytime and from anywhere, even abroad”.
