I happened to be an active member of a charity organisation in my days in tertiary institution. I was led there by
CURIOSITY
AND
SYMPATHY FOR THE NEEDY
Having played an active role in their activitiies, i must say my expectation was cutshort
1)EMPHASISE ON MONEY
we were instructed to ask for money instead of materials.
2)mismanagement of fund;
these charitable organisation dont know how to manage your money.
3)money dont get to the needy; instead it is used in purchasing aircondition , vehicles, fan etc for comfort and administration. of charitable organisation managers
4)makes no difference;
An orphanage home with 100,000 naira and 50 inmates would never investing that amount on 3orphans education or setting them up with sewing machine to begin tailoring.
Its betterto change 3 persons life
charitable organisation hardly make inmates financially stable. They prefer to keep giving paracetamol for severe headache.
ACCOUNTABILITY;
Since the fund is derived from public, public needs details on how the fund is being spent.they should issue financial report.
I have chosen not to have any dealing with them i ‘d rather give directly to needy without any middleman.
