Website: Save the children

Why do save the children charity keep asking for money every time those people keep getting pregnant RIGHT AFTER THEY POP OUT BABY AFTER BABY AFTER BABY WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY TO FEED THEIR CHILDREN THEY ALREADY HAVE???..I SUGGEST THAT THEY DEMAND THEM TO USE BIRTH CONTROL PILLS/ CONDEMS SO THEY DON'T KEEP GETTING PREGNANT AS SOON AS THEY GIVE BIRTH TO THE LAST ONE THEY JUST HAD??? I'd make them sign papers to comply to rules that they will be turned down for any more funds if they continue getting pregnant year after year. And tell those men/fathers to stay OFF THEIR WIVES KNOWING THE OUTCOME IS GOING TO KEEP MAKING THEIR WIVES PREGNANT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!!! IT'S SIMPLY COMMON SENSE TO DEMAND THAT THEY STOP HAVING SEX CUZ THEY KNOW QUITE WELL THAT PREGNANCY IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN!! SEND AND DEMAND THEM TO USE BIRTH CONTROL PILLS OR ### EVERY TIME THEY HAVE SEX. Or we as Americans are NOT GOING TO KEEP PAYING FOR THEIR IGNORANCE!! I know that many people believe the same EXACT way as I do!!

    Website: Save the children

    I understand why save the children asking for MONEY FROM PEOPLE IN AMERICA..BUT my suspicions of why they DO NOT SEND/ DEMAND those families TO USE BIRTH CONTROL AND CONDEMS IN ORDER TO STOP MAKING MORE BABIES WHEN THEY CAN'T EVEN AFFORD TO FEED THEIR CHILDREN THAT ARE ALREADY BORN ?? It TRULY makes me angry that along with the money, they don't ENFORCE them to stop getting pregnant as soon as they give birth to the baby they just had!@#%?. Baby after baby is completely STUPID for the charity to not tell those 'needy people ' to STOP GETTING PREGNANT WHEN THEY KEEP ASKING FOR MONEY EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY JUST POPPED OUT ANOTHER BABY THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO FEED!! IT'S TOO MUCH TO KEEP ASKING AMERICANS TO GIVE MORE + MORE CASH THEN NOT TO DEMAND THEM TO STOP GETTING PREGNANT AGAIN!!!

      Respected sir,

      I decided to donate Rs.800/- per month to the save the children. For this I made a call to the phone no which is advitised in the advertisement, after that I received a message from the save the children people. In the process of giving a permission for the e mandate the amount of Rs is shown as 99999/- instead of Rs.800/- but I mistakenly give a permission for e mandate
      So kindly rectify the issue and please cancel the e mandate process.

      Please find the attachments

      Thank you sir

          I have agreed to donate 500 rupees for 6 months by Dec 2019 and they have debited that amount on any day of the month. After 6 months completion also they have debited too rupees on 9th of Nov 2020 and that time my account does not have sufficient fund due to which RBI charged insufficient fund return charges of 590. Really annoying me, I have requested them to fix a date for amount debit and let me know but they never properly responded. Whenver I raised a request regarding this they are keep on saying that they 'll check with Delhi team and get back to me but that person revathi never did it. Even now I got a same answer. Even if we interested to donate in future this kind of issues will make us to ignore them. I do not need want any transactions with save the children. Please help me and take necessary action in them.

            I contributed ₹300/- pm for some time to Save The Children. Later I stopped. They have recently started calling me every single day. I have clearly told them that I do not want to donate anymore but they don't stop the calls. The same people call everyday. Sometimes multiple times a day. I have not started telling them that I am going to raise a complaint against them but they still do not stop. They are literally harassing me with these calls.

                Dear all,

                I am contributing 500 rs every month for the ngo called save the children and the payment has been done through auot debit option. I enabled auto debit option for 5 years and now almost 3 years has been completed. Till last year i have received the payment receipt with tax exemption certificate properly from this ngo.
                But during this month march 2019 i have received the payment receipt for sum of rs 3500. The receipt shows that the payment has been made alternate month but based on my bank statement rs 500 has been sent every month through auto debit to this ngo. I too ensured the amount credited to the beneficiary account by visiting my bank..

                When i raised this issue to the save the children customer complaint team but they said you get all the details from your bank and send to me then only we can check and confirm the details of payment received from your account since we are having n number of donors and it is very difficult to trace yours.

                It shows that there are having so much of fund in their account and they don’t have time to monitor all these account. If so why we should contribute this organization. Also their response regarding my query also not good.

                Finally i understood that they are collecting money from public and they are steeling the same through this ngo banner. Hence i am going to stop my contribution to this ngo from april 2019 onwards. And i am going to escalate this issues to the necessary govt.

                  Dear friends,

                  While i was watching television seen advertisement on kushi add, save the children.

                  I have made a call & i received multiple calls & long follow up, i paid 3200

                  I have paid to save the children bank account but i received tax exempt certificate from bal raksha bharat.

                  Same when i check with my charted accountant, he said that it's a fraud, when you pay for save the children, then receipt must be on save the children..

                  He said save the children done almost 50 cr fraud since 5 year's, no one complaints.

                  Because they don't want to run around courts

                  I request you to provide solution to stop these frauds in here future,

                  I request all donors don't donate to fraud organisation..

                  There are govt organisation who will give 100%, tax exemption pay for them

                  Not for these organisations...

                  Same here. After watching the advertisement in TV I checked their website to see various plans. The website asked me to provide phone number & email ID. Within the next one hour I started getting calls to pay them. I felt like I took a loan from them & they are demanding for repayment of the same.

                  This continued every day morning .. They will send payment link, followed by phone calls... Not sure what their intentions are... Like this is just a business for them ... Follow-up & ask for money from everybody ...

                  I had to talk to the person in harsh way in order to stop. However, he was still behaving like, I had committed something & I MUST pay... the phone number is +[protected]

                    Four people came today to my home, three boys and one girl aged between 23-28. They wanted to come inside and discuss about women and child abuse, when asked about organisation they said they came from save a child foundation, when i enquired deeply they said they belong to khushi, i can see that they are lying, i didnt allow them inside but they keep on requesting that they want to come inside.

My Credit card belonged to HDFC Bank. Excess deduction of INR 2500 has been done.Should require any other info, please feel to call. HDFC Credit Card Number : [protected]

                        My husband stopped contributing this NGO in Aug. 2014, as we have been getting run around from their people on visiting their area of work. Girl by the name Ritu who called like 5-10 times a day. When my husband said I can continue my support once I can see where save the Children is working. She started arguing and said" apko donation nahi karna tha, toh pehley bata dey tey." and disconnected the call that I'm making excuses and stalling for not giving donation. After few days later she stated texting me husband in the night explaining she has target and all. He showed me the text she have forwarded they were disgusting. I'mean these girls have no self respect. I complaint to kapil kaul, who promised to take action and going to call us back but we haven't heard anything. Stop giving doantion to save the children they are running scam, what I can figure it out by seeing who their staff work. [protected]

                          Hi,

                          If you receive calls in the name of Save the Children and specifically asking for cash donations also giving reference to Dr Ambedkar Charitable Trust, avoid since these are frauds.
                          I called Save the Children and checked the same with them and they confirmed that they had nothing to do with the above mentioned institutions or "CASH ONLY" donations.

                          Number I got a call from was : " [protected]". Caller was very pushy and even sent number of sms's pushing for donations, unlikely of organisations like Save the Children, to whom I have given donations in the past.

                          BR

                              I made a donation last year and this year too to the "Save the Children" organization in Mumbai. The board of directors of the organization lists some of the known names.

                              I have been getting persistant calls asking for more and more donation. Inspite of my making it clear that my limit for that organzation is over for this year, I still continue to get calls, that too in the same tone and manner used by salesmen / salesgirls.

                              I had the experience of a Thane based organization posing as saviours of children. Recently they swtiched the clothes to appear as cancer cure helpers. A group of well dressed girls are out for collecting donations. On some doubts, I made some enquiries and found that these well dressed girls are nothing more than commission agents. They get a fat cut on the amount they collect. The so called Directors / Trustees of the Thane based organization are young men who spend the money for their lavish life styles. I did this varification in front of the young women who came to collect the donation. Immediately on realizing what I am doing, they made a fast retreat.

                              I doubt if "Save the children" is also of the same category.

                                I think I made a mistake by making contributions to Save The Children. They seem to have a huge number of telecallers, but not enough resources to manage their database. I am frustrated to the limit as I get calls from them nearly every week, and sometimes on two-three consecutive days.

                                I have tried to communicate to them as clearly as is possible, from a request to remove my name from their database to nearly shouting at the telecaller about how stupid their department/organisation is to persistently trouble people like this. I have asked to be connected to the seniors but there was "no such option" available. I have been promised at least a dozen times that I will not receive any further calls from STC (stupid tele-callers) or Save The Children, as they are called. Please Save The Contributors ... please!
                                True Prashant I been facing the same problem, called Nehru Place but it's not NGO it's a another sales campaign.
                                Actually recently I made a payment by mistake I.e 500rupees instead of $500i didn't saw the denomination please help me out to get my money back.Im a student that to middle class family, I can't handle that much amount monthly please refund my Money back this is may account number:[protected] axis bank.
