The main objective of operating NGOs is Not Profit-Making but, to serve for the welfare of the society and bringing positive changes when needed.

What are the different categories of NGOs?

There is a different classification of NGOs, as shown below:

According to the level of Orientation

Charitable Orientation:-

These NGOs are associated with a charity. Their objective is to meet the needs of poor people; helping them with food, clothes, medicines, etc. They also influence provisions to provide them shelter facilities. Charitable NGOs also undertake relief activities at the time of any natural calamity.

Participatory Orientation:-

The main focus of participatory NGOs is on community development projects. They also invite contributions from local people in the form of cash, machinery, labor, etc. Cooperative groups usually prefer these organizations and hold the responsibility of the development project from its planning until the implementation.

Empowering Orientation:-

These NGOs are also known as Advocacy. These NGOs focus on some particular issues or specific social causes. Their main motive is to create awareness among poor people or illiterates regarding government policies, norms, rules and regulations, rights provided by the government, and all factors affecting their lives. These NGOs can also act as facilitators and hence, encourage volunteers to serve with them.
