An NGO (non-governmental organisation) is a non-profit organisation that operates and functions independently from the government. At times also known as civil societies, NGOs are basically citizen based groups that are organised on the community, national as well as international levels in order to serve specific political or social issues prevalent in the area. Most importantly, NGOs are cooperative rather than commercial in nature.
What are the different types of NGOs?
NGOs, on a broad line, can be classified on the basis of two major factors, which include their orientation level or their cooperation level.
Operational NGOs
The main aim of an operational NGO is to design as well as implement all the development related projects. Operational NGOs can be both national as well as international.
Advocacy NGOs
The main aim of these NGOs is to promote a specific cause. Such NGO bodies mainly work at raising awareness and knowledge of the underprivileged by participating in various activities such as lobbying, press work and activist events.
But other than these two, there are various different types of NGOs that function across the city and mentioned below are a few of them:
1. Charitable NGO
This type of NGO often involves little participation by the ‘beneficiaries’. Most of these NGOs are directed towards the activities that are aimed at helping the poor in the form of distribution of food, medicine, articles of clothing, etc. Charitable NGOs also look after the provisions of houses, schools, transports, etc. It is mostly such NGOs that look after major relief activities that are required post any form of natural or man-made disaster.
2. Service NGO
Service NGOs mainly look after the provision of healthcare, education, family planning. All such programs are designed by the NGO authorities and then the remaining tasks are carried out or implemented with the help of volunteers.
3. Community based NGO
As the name suggests, such NGOs arise out of people’s own initiatives. Examples of such NGOs are seen in the form of sports clubs, women’s organisations, religious or educational programs, neighbourhood organisations, and many more. Some of the community based NGOs are also supported by national or international NGOs and some of them function independently, all by themselves.
4. Citywide NGOs
Citywide non governmental organisations are mostly involved in helping the poor as of their major form of activities. These organisations include the commonly seen Rotary or Lion’s Club, popular chambers of commerce and industry, ethnic or educational groups, associations of community organisations, coalitions of businesses, etc.
5. Empowering NGOs
The main aim of these non governmental organisations is to give poor people a fair understanding of all the social, economic and political factors that may affect their lives. Such NGOs also aim to strengthen poor people’s awareness of their own power to control their lives.
Other than the ones mentioned above, NGOs are also classified on the basis of their variations, some of which are mentioned here:
1. BINGO: It is a short term used for business friendly international non governmental organisations.
2. CITS: This type of NGO is generally devoted to help the scientific community and motivate the younger generation towards research and development.
3. CSO: This is short for civil society organisations.
4. DONGO: DONGO stands for Donor Organised non governmental organisation.
5. ENGO: This is an abbreviated form of an environmental NGO.
6. QUANGO: This mainly refers to a quasi-autonomous organisation, which a government has developed power over, but is still partly financed or controlled by government bodies.
7.TANGO: Any NGO that offers technical assistance falls under this category.
8. GSO: GSO is an abbreviation for Grassroots Support Organisations.
9. MANGO: Any NGO related to market advocacy will fall under this category.
10. CHARDS: This is a short form for Community Health and Rural Development Society.
How can NGOs help communities to develop?
Non governmental organisations play a major role in community developments. Several NGOs has are actively working into areas such as environment, community mobilization, promotion of health education, promotion of child’s rights, fighting against child labour, human trafficking, etc. Certain large NGOs are into self financing whereas most of the other non governmental organisations rely on support from major donor agencies based across the globe.

Father/Mother, I am poor, is this my fault? Everyone gives me back. No one gets help even after thousands of feet. Well, donating has its own institutional rules but Amit didn't ask for billions of dollars. I am begging for a small amount of money which is the cost of your one-day breakfast. Dad/Mom you donate billions of dollars, you can donate personally if you want. Mother, don't you have a little affection for me? Can you give your son back? Mother hold your feet and have mercy on my family. Does no one have mercy on a helpless child? Alas! People are so cruel now I understand. Does anyone feel sorry for my family's suffering? Allah guide someone who will help my family?
