Gift a Pension

Gift-a-Pension Concept | Video 2:15m

30 million Indians work as domestic help - maids, cooks, drivers, cleaners, guards, car cleaners and gardeners.

None of them are eligible for a pension. Each of them therefore faces a high risk of extreme poverty for over 20 years once they are too old to work.

You can change this outcome for your own domestic help.
