How can we gift a secured retirement to the less privileged section of our society. Parul Seth Khanna, the director at giftapension.com waxed eloquent on how 10 minutes of a person’s life can change the retired life of a domestic household helper.

Today, it is safe to say that almost all of the millions of people in India who spend their whole lives working as household or domestic helps are yet to hear of pension funds, let alone have one. For them, the only retirement savings plan is the hope that their children will care for them in their old age. To increase the accessibility of this vital financial instrument and its benefits, this Delhi-based Micro Pension Foundation launched the "Gift A Pension" Program whereby employers can 'gift' or setup a pension fund for their respective domestic workers.
In the words of Ms. Parul Khanna, Program Director, Micro Pension Fund,
“10 minutes of your time can change the 20 years of your domestic help's life."
