4. The problem is huge! Will my small contribution make a difference?

It most certainly does. A small amount goes a long way. Taken together, it is these seemingly small contributions that collectively add up to a large amount needed to effect change. There are people all over who are concerned about the under privileged people and who want to do something to change it. However, their own commitments and pressures do not allow them to go out and directly work with the poor . Alert provides them the opportunity to help in whatever way they can. When everybody comes together and pitches in, no task is impossible.Every individual’s contribution is important.

5. What is the difference between NGOs and NPOs ?

Most NGOs are non-stock, nonprofit organizations, so most people use the two terms interchangeably. Technically, however, not all NGOs are NPOs, and not all NPOs are NGOs.

An NGO (nongovernmental organization) can actually either be nonprofit or for-profit entities.

On the other hand, an NPO (nonprofit organization) is not a profit-making entity. It can’t simply make a profit and distribute it among its members. An NPO does not necessarily mean ‘charitable’ either.
