Who are all those Non Government Organisations out there? What do they do? And how do they survive and provide their services in the current socio-economic environment to those who need it when quite often they themselves are struggling too? We'll be talking to multiple organisations about their changing experiences and difficulties in the current social landscape. This is your chance to get to know who is out there to help you... As a colleague or for assistance.
