Lit the Light – Fundraiser
To run their Technology Center for Visually challenged in Porur, Lit the Light is in need of Rs. 40,000 / month. They also have 100s of supporters to raise this money every month. But the devil lies in the process: Following up the donors (monthly), accounting it, sending receipts, compiling all this data for IT Filing and Annual reports is a huge administrative work that no Ngo/Volunteer wants to do.
NGOs and Volunteers are here to create the Impact, to be in the field, to be with people, not to do accounting, spreadsheets and mails. That’s where we pitch in, we solve the process with our system and keep them do what they love to do, to touch lives.

- In April 2016, The Common Wealth Judo Championship was held at Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Three players were selected from Tamil Nadu to represent India. But they lacked financial support. They didn’t receive any help from the Government. ‘Lit the Light’ launched a fund raising campaign for the players and where able to raise around Rs 1 Lakh 14 Thousand each for the three players and one coach.
