 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

NGOs exist for a variety of purposes, usually to further the political or social goals of
their members. Examples include improving the state of the natural environment,
encouraging the observance of human rights, improving the welfare of the disadvantaged, or
representing a corporate agenda. However, there are a huge number of such organizations and
their goals cover a broad range of political and philosophical positions. This can also easily
be applied to private schools and athletic organizations.
Nanma Charitable Foundation is formed by a group of socially responsible like-
minded individuals with the sole aim of reaching out to the needy, underprivileged and
destitute sections of the society.
The main purpose of this project is to learn about NGO, what are the different types
of NGO as well as to study about Nanma Charitable Foundation. In this project I have given
information about Nanma Charitable Foundation and its various activities.
NGO (Non- Governmental Organization)
A non-governmental organization (NGO) is an organization that is not part of a
government and was not founded by states. NGOs are therefore typically independent of
governments. Although the definition can technically include for-profit corporations, the term
is generally restricted to social, cultural, legal, and environmental advocacy groups having
goals that are primarily non-commercial. NGOs are usually non-profit organizations that gain
at least a portion of their funding from private sources. Current usage of the term is generally
associated with the United Nations and authentic NGOs are those that are so designated by
the UN. Because the label "NGO" is considered too broad by some, as it might cover
anything that is non-governmental, many NGOs now prefer the term private voluntary
organization (PVO). A 1995 UN report on global governance estimated that there are nearly
29,000 international NGOs. National numbers are even higher: The United States has an
estimated 2 million NGOs, most of them formed in the past 30 years. Russia has 65,000
NGOs. Dozens are created daily. In Kenya alone, some 240 NGOs come into existence every
year. The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is the world's largest group
of humanitarian NGO's. Though voluntary associations of citizens have existed throughout
history, NGOs along the lines seen today, especially on the international level, have
developed in the past two centuries. One of the first such organizations, the International
Committee of the Red Cross was founded in 1863.

Types of NGO’s
There are numerous possibilities to classify NGOs. The following is the typology the
World Bank uses

 Operational NGO’s
Their primary purpose is the design and implementation of development-
related projects. One categorization that is frequently used is the division into relief-
oriented or development-oriented organizations; they can also be classified according
to whether they stress service delivery or participation; or whether they are religious
and secular; and whether they are more public or private-oriented. Operational NGOs
can be community-based, national or international.
  Advocacy NGO’s
Their primary purpose is to defend or promote a specific cause. As opposed to
operational project management, these organizations typically try to raise awareness,
acceptance and knowledge by lobbying, press work and activist events.

 Service NGO’s
Service oriented NGO provide goods and services to clients to unmet needs.
NGO have long stepped in to serve as critical “safety needs” where politically
challenged, indebted or corrupt states are unable or unwilling to provide for societal
needs, and where global problems defy the conception of nation state responsibilities.
Example of such service activities include relief efforts provided by the Red
Cross/Red Crescent, natural resources monitoring by WWF (World Wildlife Fund)
and the distribution of medicinal drugs by Doctors Without Borders.

Important Features of NGO’s

 Purposes
NGOs exist for a variety of purposes, usually to further the political or social
goals of their members. Examples include improving the state of the natural
environment, encouraging the observance of human rights, improving the welfare of
the disadvantaged, or representing a corporate agenda. However, there are a huge
number of such organizations and their goals cover a broad range of political and
philosophical positions. This can also easily be applied to private schools and athletic
organizations.

 Methods
NGOs vary in their methods. Some act primarily as lobbyists, while others
conduct programs and activities primarily. For instance, such an NGO as Oxfam,
concerned with poverty alleviation, might provide needy people with the equipment
and skills they need to find food and clean drinking water.
 Networking
The International Freedom of Expression exchanges (IFEX), founded in 1992,
is global network of more than 60 non-governmental organizations that promote and
defend the right to freedom of expression

 Consulting
Many international NGOs have a consultative status with United Nations
agencies relevant to their area of work. As an example, the Third World Network has
consultative status with the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD)
and the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). In 1946, only 41 NGOs had
consultative status with the ECOSOC, but this number had risen to 2,350 in 2003.
 Management of non-governmental organizations:
Two management trends are particularly relevant to NGOs: diversity
management and participatory management. Diversity management deals with
different cultures in an organization. Intercultural problems are prevalent in Northern
NGOs that are engaged in developmental activities in the South. Personnel coming
from a rich country are faced with a completely different approach of doing things in
the target country. A participatory management style is said to be typical of NGOs. It
is intricately tied to the concept of a learning organization: all people within the
organization are perceived as sources for knowledge and skills. To develop the
organization, individuals must be able to contribute in the decision-making process
and they need to learn.

 Relations
The relationship among businesses, governments, and NGOs can be quite
complex and sometimes antagonistic. Some advocacy NGOs view opposition to the
interests of Western governments and large corporations as central to their purpose.
But NGOs, governments, and companies sometimes form cooperative, conciliatory
partnerships as well.

 Staffing
Not all people working for non-governmental organizations are volunteers.
Paid staff members typically receive lower pay than in the commercial private sector.
 Employees are highly committed to the aims and principles of the organization. The
reasons why people volunteer is usually not purely altruistic, but self-serving: They
expect to gain skills, experience and contacts.

 Funding
Large NGOs may have annual budgets in the millions of dollars. For instance,
the budget of the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) was over
$540million dollars in 1999. Human Rights Watch spent and received US$21, 7
million in2003. Funding such large budgets demands significant fundraising efforts
on the part of most NGOs. Major sources of NGO funding include membership dues,
the sale of goods and services, grants from international institutions or national
governments, and private donations. Several EU-grants provide funds accessible to
NGOs. Even though the term 'non-governmental organization' implies independence
of governments, some NGOs depend heavily on governments for their funding.

 Legal status
The legal form of NGOs is diverse and depends upon homegrown variations in
each country’s laws and practices. However, four main family groups of NGOs can be
found worldwide:
 Unincorporated and voluntary association
 Trusts, charities and foundations
 Companies not just for profit
 Entities formed or registered under special NGO or non-profit laws. NGOs are not
subjecting of law, as states are. An exception is the International Committee of the
Red Cross, which is subject to certain specific matters, mainly relating to the Geneva
Convention.
CLASSIFICATION OF NGO’S BASED ON SECTORS IN WHICH NON-
GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS WORK :

 LITERATURE REVIEW

On defining NGOs, Lewis and Kanji (2009:2) state that owing to the staggeringly

diverse range of organizations, arriving at a meaningful generalization is difficult as NGOs

play different roles and take very different shapes and forms within and across different country

contexts. They state further that in the available literature, NGOs are generally understood to

be autonomous organizations that are neither government run nor have profit making motives
like private businesses.

According to the United Nation (UN) estimates, there are roughly 35000
established NGO’s (Lewis and Kanji, 2009). They have been recognized for their
decentralized and grassroots engagement with the world’s poorest and marginalized
representing their voice and empowering them to break free from the shackles of poverty and
alleviating social ills such as illiteracy and poor health (Desai, 2002). NGOs where loaded for
their participatory approach to development and enhancement of livelihood, rights and
democratization process of the poorest segments of society through various social
development projects and programs

NGOs have also been criticized for example they were under scrutiny for failing to
live up to the expectations in the area of providing assistance during emergencies and
humanitarian crises for reasons such as institutional self-interest by some individual NGOs,
duplication efforts arising from lack of coordination inadequate understanding of local
cultures, traditions and mores among the international based NGOs and a simplistic approach
concerning the root cause of the problem or conflict (Lewis and Kanji, 2009:19). Hence, not
all NGOs have been perceived as effective; questions regarding their accountability
and legitimacy have arisen countless times.
COMPANY PROFILE:

ABOUT NANMA CHARITABLE FOUNDATION:

Love is a powerful word that connects us human beings and Nanma meaning
'goodwill' in Malayalam is an emotion that we at the Nanma Charitable Foundation
strongly believe in.

Nanma Chartiable Foundation is formed by a group of socially responsible like-

minded individuals with the sole aim of reaching out to the needy, underprivileged and
destitute sections of the society.

We have already reached out to various sections like adivasis, tribals, poor children,
senior citizen and distributed study materials,nutrition foods and clothes among them. Apart
from this we have provided financial & psychological support to the patients suffering from
diseases like HIV-Aids, Cancer, TB, Leprosy etc.

Nanma Charitable Foundation was founded in 14th April 2013 and today we have
successfully completed our journey of three years and there are plenty of more years to
follow in our social cause of reaching out to the poor section of our society. The organization
has been actively involved in the cause of social upliftment and empowerment. In the last
three years we have reached out to more than 5000 children, women and senior citizens in
Kerala & Maharashtra.

In the year 2014, we adopted Dandwalgaon, an Adivasi village in Mokhada -taluka,

Palghar -dist, Maharashtra and started a yearlong nutrition programme providing them with
milk, egg, fruits, wafers and chocolates. This year would be our third year of operation in the
said village and we would like to empower the villagers also so that from next year they
would be self-reliant.

In the year 2016 , we have decided to support "VEHLOLI" an another Adivasi village
having 8 Zilla Parishad Schools in Shahapur -taluka, Thane district Maharashtra.
OUR MISSION:

The Nanma Charitable Foundation was formed in 2013 with the sole aim of reaching
out to the poor, underprivileged and destitute sections of our society.

Our mission is to reach out to and help as many deserving people irrespective of caste,
religion, language and gender and make a small difference in their lives.

FROM THE FOUNDER'S DESK:

Mr. Sunilraj. A

I would like to thank all my mentors for encouraging me and giving timely
suggestions to start a purely charitable foundation -- "NANMA" meaning "goodwill".

During the two decades of my engagement with various cultural and charitable
associations. I had come across several incidences that gave me sleepless nights.

In our day to day lives, we come across parents who are homeless, kids starving for
education and lively hoods, people who are mentally/physically challenged and need medical
assistance and those who struggle for one-time meal.

You may term it as the cruelty of god or pass it off as their fate.

Our team realized that for several reasons, most of us are unable to contribute to these
people or attend to their needs. And the hands that are serving are just not enough to reach
out to the millions living in despair.

Thus, began our journey with small initiatives of kindness and love.

My humble request to all our well-wishers continue sharing your love and support so
that we can help make this a better place to live in.

'When you conspire to do something good, the universe conspires to help you
succeed.'

Over 7 lakh people have been affected by the floods that washed Kerala this year.

The waters have receded, but families have lost their loved ones, livelihoods and a lot more is
at stake as they struggle to go back to their lives.

On Sunday, August 26, 2018, a small team of good-willed people -- young and old --
set forth from Mumbai by Netravati Express to do their bit to help rebuild Kerala.

With over 5 tonnes of relief material collected from different parts of Mumbai including
groceries, clothing, essentials and sanitary napkins among others, the team had a huge task at
hand -- to safely distribute them all to the affected family’s door to door.

Over the next five days, the team of 13 -- Vinod Bhaskaran IRS, Rajan V Nair, Subin
Sethu, Athira Ashokan, Sharat Panikar, Subin Sunilraj, Kiran Das, Rohan, Shaji
Kayaratuthodi, Suresh Rameshwar, Shaktidharan Nair, Subin Bhaskaran, Manilal and Liju --
headed by Sunilraj, General Secretary, Nanma Charitable Foundation worked relentlessly and
reached out to over 600 families in Kerala.

The team travelled by foot and boat to flood-affected villages of Vallor, Anthikad,
Kanjani, Chirakkal, Manaloor, Chalakudi, Meloor, Poolani, Adichili, Pushpagiri,
Kunnampalli, Koratti, Atta Padam, Muringoor, Devine Nagar, Chunakkara Colony and
Parakootam.

While the relief may last them only a few days, every helping hand, every kind word
gave them hope that they are not alone in this struggle.

Together, let's help Kerala, a small state of a bigger India bounces back to normalcy.
Any and every help is welcome.

A huge Thank You to all those who helped and supported Nanma in this successful journey.

In the words of Einstein, a big Thank You also to all those who said No to us. Because of
you, we did it ourselves.

Our Activities in Nanma Charitable Foundatation:

For Kerala Flood Relief:

We collected funds in the form of donations from nearby residents. We also searched
for sponsors. From this fund, we brought medicines, foods, diapers, soaps and other basic
necessary groceries and packed them in the cartons and segregated them to distribute among
the affected villages in Kerala. We stored the packed cartons in the warehouse in Kalyan and
then we loaded these packed cartons into the truck to reach LTT Terminus. As there was a
special train arranged by the government for such services from LTT Terminus to
Thiruvananthapuram. Then we unloaded the packed cartons from the truck and loaded it into
train (Netravati Express) and some of our colleagues carried it further.

Munjyachimet Village:

The Munjyachimet village is 148 kms away from Kalyan. The team distributed
nutritional food to the children of Primary school and Anganwadi of Munjyachimet and
Dandwalgaon. We also made arrangements to distribute milk, egg and banana every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday to the children.
