KETTO, The NGO Kranti and a group of Shweta’s well wishers are initiating a campaign to raise a support network for her.
Donate for Ketto believes the world is her family and she is our daughter who needs help for a better future.

About Ketto:

Ketto is the brain child of the young actor Kunal Kapoor and Varun Sheth who have spent the last 2 years working together to build an online network that will revolutionize the landscape of philanthropy in India. It connects with non profits and companies with the aim of making a difference in the society. It provides the space where you can support the causes that are important to you and connect like minded individuals and organizations working towards positive change.

Ketto is a online fund raising site. This practise is also known as Crowdsourcing often used to subdivide tedious work or to fund-raise startup companies and charities, this process can occur both online and offline. The general concept is to combine the efforts of crowds of volunteers or part-time workers, where each one could contribute a small portion, which adds into a relatively large or significant result. KETTO is different from an ordinary outsourcing since it is a task or problem that is outsourced to an undefined public rather than to a specific, named group

Ketto’s Past Projects :

Soha Ali Khan’s : A Diwali for the Underprivileged in association with Akshara NGO raised 46,100INRNandita Das’s : Stop Violence against Women in association with Akshara raised 10,500INR
