Goodwill calling: List of TOP NGOs in Mumbai

NGOs in Mumbai

NGOs are doing a wonderful job of the betterment of society. Uplifting the under-privileged sections, these NGOs go to the places where government machinery and money fail to reach.  An NGO volunteer reaches out to the people, becomes one of their own and empathises with them or their situation with an unbiased approach. An NGO, in fact, does the work, which we fail to do. During the times, when the society fails a fellow human being or a member, an NGO reaches out to them, listen to them and help them live with dignity once again.

NGOs in India are working in every field and in every way imaginable. They are working for acid attack survivors, elderly folks and kids. They are working against animal cruelty as well as encouraging people to follow the traffic rules. They are helping slum dwellers to get an education and build skills to earn a livelihood. In Mumbai, there are several NGOs working in different spheres, collaborating with corporate houses as well as government to ensure smooth function and funding. Some of the NGOs partner with the CSR activities of businesses. The NGOs get finance whereas the corporate gets the benefit of proper research and invest money, where it is needed.

These NGOs could use your support, resources and encouragement. You can donate money to them or buy the crafts and art projects they undertake. Your little words of encouragement and a token of gratitude can help them shine and win another day. If you can’t help them with money, you can also create a difference by donating your re-usable equipment or clothes. The ideal way to help them out will be to volunteer on weekends or visit them with a bunch of flowers, chocolates and fruits!
