The Association For Basic Necessities is an organization that believes in individual philanthropy by collecting small monthly donations from many people rather than large donations from few wealthy donors. The organization aims to (1) improve living standards of common Indians by providing food, shelter and clothing, (2) help the unemployed as unemployment increases crime, and (3) raise funds to help underprivileged communities and disaster victims. The organization supports various causes including child education, disaster relief, orphanages, old age homes, health camps, and helping women through rehabilitation programs.
