Fund a mattress for a child in a deprived area of India
Childhood is a time of wonder, growth, and exploration. Yet, it's easy to forget that every adventure-filled day should be paired with a restorative night. For many disadvantaged children in India, especially those residing in orphanages, nights are less about rejuvenating rest and more about discomfort and restless tossing. And the consequences are more profound than mere fatigue. Without a proper mattress, children face a gamut of physical and mental health challenges. Chronic back pain becomes an unwelcome companion, often leading to disrupted sleep.
This continuous unrest can manifest as drowsiness, affecting their ability to learn and engage during the day. What's more, persistent sleep disturbances have a deep psychological impact, ushering in feelings of sadness and even depression.
Yet, with a simple intervention, we can change this narrative. By providing a child with a quality mattress, you're offering them relief from pain, enhancing their mental well-being, and planting seeds of comfort. Every child deserves the foundation of health and happiness, and together, we can make sure they lay their heads down each night with dreams full of hope and hearts full of gratitude. Let's build a world where every child sleeps soundly and wakes up ready to chase their dreams.
Use our editor to write a message for your loved one.
We’ll print your message on the inside of the greetings card so your gift is ready to be given.
Then we’ll call up our favourite postie to hand deliver your impact to your loved one.
Our model’s a little different - we work with impact partners on the ground to keep things transparent and effective. These partners are local community organisations and small charities who can get your impact action done in the most efficient way. And rest easy knowing these partners are thoroughly vetted each year to make sure your impact is truly making a difference.
Now for the best part: seeing your impact in action! About 6-12 months after you send your impact, we’ll pop you (and your recipient if you’ve given us their email) an update. This could include text, images, and videos showing how your thoughtful impact has helped transform lives. Who knew giving could feel so good?
