With the ever-growing population, human beings’ needs are increasing, and so is the burden on nature. Our environment is standing at a stage where even a flick of harm to our beloved nature can result in a furious outbreak of mother earth. Nature cares for our every need and want. Still, nature does not receive the love and care it deserves. Like our mother, nature gives us everything without asking for anything in return or at any cost.
Therefore, every individual should realise the significant role nature plays in their lives. We must consider the needs of nature before it stops considering our needs. Like it is said that where there is a problem, a solution exists. For issues pertaining to nature, certain NGOs exist in the country whose sole purpose is to conserve our mother nature in its pristine form.
Some of the NGO’s committed to serve their mother nature and give back a small fraction of what nature gives to us are –

NGO’s are the epitome of benevolence in society. The needs of human beings are increasing with the advent of time. With the earth’s deteriorating state in today’s cruel world, the need for NGOs is rising ever more than before.
These NGOs work for the benefit of society and survive solely on the donations given by society members. Every member of society must contribute according to their will to these NGOs as they survive on the public’s donations. It is because of alike souls only that people with a purpose can contribute and change the picture for good.

After all, a small donation can also affect several lives. So share your purpose with the world through Ketto and contribute your share to show you care.
