We all want to strive for the best and achieve success in life. There are no two ways about that. We mean, it’s a different kind of high, when you see the fruits of your labour, right? At the same time, let’s not forget, not everybody is as fortunate as us. Not everybody even has the opportunity to get educated, work hard and live a decent & happy life. But luckily we do have the opportunity to give back to the society and to do something meaningful for those whoa re in need. For starters, you can start volunteering at the NGOs in your city, for whatever cause you feel is closer to your heart. So, check out these NGOs in town where you can volunteer for different causes.

7. Care India
We often hear a lot of speeches, debates on women empowerment. But one such non-profit organization, Care India, is doing some great work in the field. Over the last 60 years, they have been working on poverty and social injustice. Empowerment of girls and women is one of their primary agendas. In short, we would say that they do what many of us just think! It’s time to contribute to their specific events and campaigns (health, education).
