What Is an NGO?
An NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) is a non-profit organization established by individuals or groups who come together with a common vision of serving society and creating a positive impact. Unlike commercial businesses, NGOs are not formed with the objective of earning profits; instead, they focus on addressing social, educational, environmental, healthcare, and humanitarian issues for the welfare of communities.
NGOs play a vital role in promoting social development, supporting underprivileged sections of society, and driving meaningful change through various initiatives and programs. By working towards public welfare, community empowerment, and sustainable development, NGOs contribute significantly to improving the quality of life and fostering a more inclusive and equitable society.
