Your kids are at a growing stage – they are constantly going to be outgrowing their clothes and shoe size. If you’re wondering what to do with their old stuff that’s no longer being used, don’t think twice about donating it. Instead of throwing it out in the trash, be mindful about giving it a second life in the hands of someone who could really use it. There are countless NGOs Donation across the country which accept donations.

A quick note: When donating, make sure to maintain the dignity of your donation by excluding unwashed, or badly torn, or soiled garments.

Here is a list of websites which can connect you with organisations to give your  pre-loved belongings to:

1. Goonj

You can drop off your surplus household material at Goonj’s collection centres in various cities. They train women in rural areas across the country to upcycle material that can’t be reused, and sell it at their online shop. Thus they have managed to empower communities by looking at “waste” through a different perspective.

2. Share At Doorstep
