As of now, we share the programmes of only NGOs, Government, UN social issuewise because they are actual social doctors doing social operations and do not include corporates, funding agencies, philanthropists, celebrities who are typically social hospitals who partner with NGOs. We may decide to include social hospitals later.
We include celebrities issuewise because celebrities may or may not be money donors but they certainly add reputation value to the NGO they help or the issue they help. Again, because of privacy of celebs, we do not share their address but if they have an NGO of their own, then share NGO link.

Everyone values and follows celebs from film or sports. We want them to at least know Great People working in the social sector. We share only global or national social greats (this does not mean that leader of every organisation which works at national level). Social greats can be founder or CEO of organisations as well as founders who left mother earth but their work is carried forward.

More specifically when government leaders visit other countries, they or their senior representative must meet social greats like usually they meet only political leaders, business leaders or business associations. They must realise that these social greats really are development leaders and their work can be replicated, scaled up in every country.

We plan to share 100 000 social programmes between 1st January 2026 to 31st March 2027 and can share many more programmes if the NGO response is good. And we link the programmes to the official link of the organisation so that donors and volunteers can contact them directly.

We share the programmes of NGOs named alphabetically, but understanding the need of donors & volunteers to be country specific, we share the programmes countrywise but in alphabetical order. This means programmes of NGOs in Afghanistan first and Zimbabwe last. (Of course within the country it is alphabetical)

Though India is our global example, we share the programmes countrywise. But within India, we will share the state , UT of the NGO so that donors & volunteers know which state the NGO is from. We do not share the name of the districts in India where the NGO works because many NGOs might work in 2 or 3 or more districts in that state but if the NGO works in more than one State or UT, we will share the names of those states.

We have shared NGOs in India districtwise separatelty where we have mentioned NGO name and programme areas from government sources but we have not shared actual programmes in districts of India. They are shared issuewise with link to the NGO. If the NGO has no official website, then we share their name districtwise and not mention them in issuewise NGOs for obvious reasons.

Most of the people in the world follow religions, but still we do not have religion and politics as social issue.
If an NGO works in many social issues including work for any specific religion, we share their social issue programmes except religious programmes issuewise. And this applies to all NGOs in all countries. But we do not share social programmes of political parties because every political party is supposed to take care of social, health and climate issues of all citizens, so they directly or in collaboration with others work on all social, health and climate issues.

Please note that we leave it to donor or volunteer to check credibility of the NGO because they are donating money and time which is valuable. We do so because we have realised that credit rating of just one NGO will take anywhere between 3 to 6 months and we can not send our person regularly to visit the donors, volunteers, communities, local media, government to check credibility of an organisation.
