Unlock Tax Benefits: Help ACT1D Save Lives!

Unlock Tax Benefits: Help ACT1D Save Lives!

Dated : 06 May 2024

According to the Type 1 Diabetes Index, approximately 860,423 people are living with Type 1 Diabetes in India. Shockingly, 920,172 of these individuals could still be alive today if they hadn't succumbed to avoidable complications. This staggering mortality rate is attributed to various factors, including late diagnosis, limited access to basic healthcare and education, and crucially, financial constraints leading to inadequate treatment – a dire reality affecting children at a very young age. 
 
The Association for Children with Type 1 Diabetes is actively addressing this crisis by providing life-saving insulin and essential supplies to over 200 underprivileged children in Haryana, Punjab, and nearby states. These families, barely making ends meet, struggle with monthly expenses of Rs 4000 to 5000 for proper care. Our mission is clear: to offer not just medical aid but also hope, support and education to families facing the daunting challenges of Type 1 Diabetes.
 
But we can't do it alone. With your support, we can expand our reach, save more lives, and empower families to navigate the complexities of this condition.
 
Changing the numbers, one child at a time

ACT1D is proud to announce our registration under Section 12A of the Income Tax Act in India. This crucial step opens avenues for you to support our cause while also reaping financial perks.
