NGO vs Trust
Our green planet is only one. We have one
Creator, and we are said to be guardians of our own kind. Therefore, we
must look after each other, care for each other, and love one another.
There should be no discrimination against any race, gender, nationality,
age and, most importantly, religion. We may be different but we are
one.
As young children, we were taught good
values and to be of prime help to others. And as man learned the art of
helping, so it became big
and organized to help those who are in need. With this, an NGO and a
trust come in hand to help others. But what are an NGO and a trust? What
are the differences?
“NGO” stands for “Non-governmental
Organization” while “trust” is the word trust itself. NGOs are
responsible for the promotion of certain causes whether it is in health,
education, labor, environment, and other fields of life. Trusts, on the
other hand, are when a person wants his or her properties and money to
be managed by a certain body which is a trust. Trusts also assist in
doing charitable work for the entire body of mankind whether it is
medical, educational, labor, etc.
NGOs are also voluntary organizations which can be free but have considerations. An NGO usually aids the government
with the programs that they can’t usually do in its extent and
strength. Trusts, on the other hand, are not dependent on the programs
of the government. Trusts have their own policies since they can be
public or private trusts. It does not need any aid from the government or any organization. NGOs can receive financial assistance from the government while trusts cannot.
Examples of NGOs are: Red Cross, Red
Crescent, Greenpeace, Amnesty International, and Doctors Without Borders
while an example of a trust includes the Britain-Nepal Medical Trust.
