Nowadays, charity institutes operate both at micro and macro levels to resolve social and economic issues. Some argue that they should help people globally, while others think that they should help the citizens of their country of origin. In my opinion, charity institutes should assist people globally to promote human values and maintain peace and harmony at the same time.
Non-profit organizations helping people globally have a plethora of benefits. Firstly, it helps to boost relations between nations which aids in economic growth through foreign direct investment. Trade between nations brings mutual benefits in terms of economic and social aspects. Furthermore, it aids in bridging any existing gap created due to cultural differences, and thus provides an opportunity for the exchange of ideas and cultural values which is essential to be part of globalization concept an ongoing trend among developed and developing nations.
On the other perspective, non-profit organizations assisting citizens in the country of their origin aids in the overall development of the nation. Common social issues such as access to basic education, poverty, and unemployment can be addressed effectively at the national level with the collaboration of government and charitable institutions. There is always an opportunity for charitable institutions to showcase their work in mitigating socio-economic issues and get financial assistance in the form of grants from the government and local businesses to take up projects which will benefit the underprivileged section of society.
Non-profit organizations should assist people irrespective of nationality, caste, or ethnicity in the best possible manner with the resources and funds they possess. If non-profit organizations take the initiative to serve weaker sections of society globally, then their efforts will not go in vain, as they might get monetary help from other nations and global bodies such as the United Nations,UNICEF, Child Relief and You to expand the operations and scope of work, which will create potential job opportunities in the future.
