CHARITY ORGANISATION: HOW TO GET INVOLVED by Tolulope Oguntoyinbo


It’s not another job neither is it a money-making venture. It’s simply service to humanity.
You want to get involved and don’t know how? The following tips might be useful for you:
·         Take a look at your neighbourhood, identify the needy around you and give them a gift of a dinner, a lamp to light at night, sweaters, warm or heavy clothes to keep them warm, some money to pay their kids school fee, a word of encouragement/advice, a hug to the social misfit, a smile to the broken, drive the sick to the health centres or help wash their dishes and clean their houses if need be.


·         Around you, there are already structured non-profit organisations, donate towards their cause, volunteer and join them in field work, you could also donate unused or scrap items in your houses to them. Trust them, they know how to distribute them or even bring out more values from them.
·         Help the organization raise funds: tell family and friends about the organisation and convince them to support too.
·         Collaborate with them by giving free services or product as your work implies. For instance if you are a doctor, give free treatments and drugs, you own a store? Then give items on a regular basis to support the work of the charitable organisation.
·         Attend events organised by the charitable organisations to show support. There are usually fund-raising programmes, concerts, seminars, periodically organised advocacy visit e.tc.

The keyword is Volunteer. Just volunteer, and that way, you get involved.
