NGOs (non government organisation’s) are run independently from the government and rely on donations to cover set up and running costs.

The term NGO is very broad and encompasses many different types of organisations. In the field of development, NGOs range from large, Northern-based charities such as CARE, Oxfam and World Vision to community-based self-help groups. They also include research institutes, churches, professional associations and lobby groups The World Bank tends to interact with two main categories of NGOs: Operational NGOs – whose primary purpose is the design and implementation of development-related projects, and; Advocacy NGOs – whose primary purpose is to defend or promote a specific cause and who seek to influence the policies and practices of the World Bank.
Growing up I have always wondered what my purpose in life was and what the future held for me. I have recently discovered my hidden (not so hidden at times) passion for non-profit organisations and now I want to start my own built on Christian faith.
I might not be the first to come up with this idea but I am sure I won’t be the last either.
My aim -
To benefit the community through marketing (non-profit faith based)
My plan -
Apply for the AMP scholarship http://www.doyourthing.co.nz currently on offer
I will be back tomorrow to discuss my dream further
