What are NGOs? Can someone elaborate and give me some examples? What is their purpose and success?
Re: What are NGOs?
They are Non Governmental Organisations. Examples are Red Cross, Islamic Relief etc…which are organisations that have been set up, independent of the government. And they just work in developing countries to help out and stuff :halo: Charities mainly.
Re: What are NGOs?
NGOs are non government organizations. These organizations are mostly non profit and run on charity/fundraising. A good example would Shahzad Roy's Zindigi Trust.

Non- Governmental (public) Organisations
These organisations work in Western developed and rich countries as well as in third world countries. All non-governmental charity organisations anywhere in the world are NGOs. All NGOs are supposed to do good work for people. Many work in their own countries and some work at international level (like Red Cross (Red Crescent in Muslim world), OXFAM, etc).
Some have done a lot of good work for people, especially poor, and without any agenda, for instance, Edhi trust, Ansar Burney trust, APWA (All Pakistan Women Association), etc
Some do good work but they have their political (possibly foreign) agenda ... for instance Imran Khan Cancer hospital (financed by ... Well, better not say :))
Some do good work but have foreign agenda in their mind as they work on foreign donations as their main source of funds (including UN, WB, etc), like Human-right organisations in Pakistan under Asma Jahangir
Some do good work associating themselves with religion as their charity base, like Islamic relief, Christian aid, most Madrasas in Pakistan, etc.
Some are in this field for earning money from foreign (and local) donations (they have foreign contacts so can get donations in the name of charity, and do good work with a part of money and use most of it to live in luxury).
And so on. If you have good rich contacts, we can start NGO in Pakistan too (joking) :)

actually its not a joke .. you are right .. sadly this is excatly what it takes ..
The way I look at it, NGO's are becoming a fashion statement in Pakistan ..if you are rich and famous .. and you dont have your own NGO, you are a looser .. most of them are just to look good
Re: What are NGOs?
Thanks for all the answers fellows! I am just trying to understand this concept, and what seems to be a new revolution.

I know exactly why this was said!

Well, I am think you do not know why I wrote that as I know that with your thinking, you must be associating my writing with Asma Jahnagir monkey like dances and actions against Musharraf :) .
Actually, I wrote that because Asma Jahangir went to Gujrat and had nice smiling meeting with Moody and when asked that why she had such meeting with someone who is known violator of Human right and that as human right activists she should have boycotted meeting him with smiling face, she said that she represents world organisations (I believe she was representing UNHRC in Gujrat), and as she was representing them in Gujrat she has to meet such people like Moody because of Moody represents government in Gujrat.
[And what Asma Jahangir said is true regarding many of her actions within Pakistan too and it is also true regarding many NGOs funded by foreign countries, irrespective of National interest]

What about the great human rights activist who went to India and said "The creation of Pakistan was the biggest blunder in the history of mankind"?
Btw, in the same lines, why didnt you have any problems with Advani's visit a few years ago by the 'hakoomat'?

What any of above you mentioned has to do with NGOs?

Well true, that is what it takes for starting NGOs for fun and money, good rich contact in West, good contact in World Organisations (like UN, WB etc), good rich contact in country or something like that :)
Though, if you want to really serve the people and work for poor, hard work and dedication is most important thing a person needs.

You pretty much dismissed Asama's entire career as being a foreign agent on the pretext of having a meeting with an Indian minister. Fine if thats whats you make out of it, but I am just pointing out if that is how you judge people, then what about the other people (for whom you show great support), when they say much horrible and unpatriotic stuff in front of Indian leaders in India? If I am not mistaken you also referred to the CJ Iftikhar Chaudhry as an Indian RAW agent.

Do not lie and accuse me of things I never wrote (it seems that you have made a habit of lying and accusing people based on your lies and assumptions). I never wrote that Iftikhar was an Indian agent. I wrote that Iftikhar is working for Nawaz and those who are behind Iftikhar are foreign agents.
If you could not understand the difference between working for foreign agents and foreign agents behind someone, you should not comment, as these are two different things. When a person works for foreign agents than he knows he is working for them. When foreign agents is behind someone then that could happen even without that person knowing about it.
For instance: Let say if India or Israel would think that Musharraf in power is bad for them and Nawaz in power is good for them then they would support all forces against Musharraf in the country and would work to make Musharraf weak, spending money and using resources against Musharraf, whereas they would support all forces with Nawaz and those that can help Nawaz get into power (including media), with money, influences as well as resources. That does not mean that Nawaz is foreign agent, but it means that foreign agents are behind Nawaz.
Re: What are NGOs?
you’re hilarious, seriously
^ And you failed to address this
Re: What are NGOs?
Some do good work but they have their political (possibly foreign) agenda ... for instance Imran Khan Cancer hospital (financed by ... Well, better not say :))
I don't know if I should laugh or cry at you. Just because you have political differences, just because he filed cases against Altaf Hussein you have to question Imran Khan's cancer hospital. I hope you or someone close to you never have to utilise services of his hospital but its shameful to not just deny any credit but go overboard and accuse him of having an agenda with "(possibly foreign)" connection whereas likes of you completely ignore the traitor Altaf Hussein when he said Pakistan was the biggest blunder, why do you have to be such a hypocrite?

Saleem, are ehstesaab and me Indian agents too? Does RAW fund my internet bills? Mind telling us what foreign agenda Imran Khan's cancer hospital has?
Re: What are NGOs?
cancer is Gods way of controlling earth's population. the hospital is rebellion against God, funded ofcourse by the jews.

Why angry with me as I used the word ‘possible’ when people like Nawaz and Qazi used to not even use word possible when saying same what I wrote? Or are you upset that I used foreign instead of Jews? (Well, I used foreign instead of Jews because foreign do not look as bad as Jews). Am I wrong that Imran was accused by these people as agent of Jews and his hospital as political stunt?
If you have to shout, why not shout at Nawaz and Qazi instead of me or why not ask Imran that how come he is in bed with those who use to call him agent of Jews?
Re: What are NGOs?
If thats what Indian and Jewish agents do Sa3eem, make cancer hospitals and universities, please import some more of these agents.
Re: What are NGOs?
Qazi aur Nawaz ke kandhon ki zaroorat par gayee ? this is called clutching at straws.
Since you don’t have anything credible to back your words you are relying on someone else’s words whom you call mega chor/liars and what not, kisi ne sahi kaha hay ke waqt parnay per gadhay ko bhi baap bana liya jata hay.
