2. Definition Of Ngo
NGOs are difficult to define, and the term 'NGO' is not used consistently. As a result, there
are many different classifications in use. The most common focus is on 'orientation' and 'level
of operation'. An NGO's orientation refers to the type of activities it takes on. These activities
might include human rights, environmental, or development work. An NGO's level of
operation indicates the scale at which an organization works, such as local, regional, national
or international.
One of the earliest mentions of the term "NGO" was in 1945, when the United Nations (UN)
was created. The UN, which is an inter-governmental organization, made it possible for
certain approved specialized international non-state agenciesi.e., non-governmental
organizationsto be awarded observer status at its assemblies and some of its meetings.
Later the term became used more widely. Today, according to the UN, any kind of private
organization that is independent from government control can be termed an "NGO", provided
it is not-for-profit, non-criminal and not simply an opposition political party.
One characteristic these diverse organizations share is that their non-profit status means they
are not hindered by short-term financial objectives. Accordingly, they are able to devote
themselves to issues which occur across longer time horizons, such as climate change,
malaria prevention or a global ban on landmines. Public surveys reveal that NGOs often
enjoy a high degree of public trust, which can make them a useful - but not always sufficient
- proxy for the concerns of society and stakeholders.
Definition of third sector in English: The part of an economy or society comprising nongovernmental and non-profit-making organizations or associations, including charities,
voluntary and community groups, cooperatives, etc.

Organization Profile:
Genesis
Started in early 1993 by group of professional social workers to support destitute elders, we
have expanded our scope to include the needs of pavement dwellers, deprived and
disadvantaged children, women and girls in crisis, and migrant workers. We primarily work
in and around Ayanavaram zone of Chennai Corporation.
Chennai has seen unprecedented growth in recent years. But this growth has a price. A
growing population of disadvantaged people living on the edges of society, struggling to
make a life in impoverished living spaces.
In 1993: Aruwe was under the Societys Act. Later it changed to Trusts Act in the year 2000.
In 1993, Medical Camp was begun with Family councelling.

happens every alternate weekend and targets especially vulnerable pockets such as
Seethathopu, Ayanayaram Housing Board and Solai Street.
Service for Disadvantaged Children :
Children are among the most marginalized in our experience. Impoverished dwelling places,
lack of coherent urban amenities and basic services, as well as poor socio economic
conditions create a hazardous environment for a childs growth and development. School
drop outs are common and families prefer their children working as it adds to the household
income.
ARUWE works to reduce the vulnerability of these children by providing
supplementary education, scholarships, uniforms, and other essentials that will reduce the
economic burden on their parents. We also run a nutritious meal program for about 50 of the
marginalized children who we learnt were denied evening meals due to financial hardship.
These children are also given a monthly health check-up.
Other Services :
In addition we also support needy youth, the homeless on New Avadi Road, migrant
construction workers, and also run a Drop-In Centre for Street Children and Children in
Need.

STUDY COMPONENT AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE FIELD BASED PROJECT.
Our field visit commenced from 19th August till 22nd August. It begun in a Informal way with
9of us in a group.

Day 1:
History of the Organization.
We begun are project by 1st knowing the History of the Ngo. Ms. Tara (Project Manager) Explained
to us about how ARUWE was begun, and Why it was begun.
ARUWE is a Public Charitable Trust run by a group of committed social work professionals who are
concerned about the welfare of the elderly destitute and deprived children.
It caters to the emergent needs of the destitute elderly, pavement dwellers, women and girls in crisis
and disadvantaged children. About 130 disadvantaged children and children at risk are provided
supplementary tuition classes, counseling, uniform, nutritional support and other educational
assistance.
About 35 elderly destitute access day care as well as residential care. These and various other urban
poor living around the Ayanavaram zone of the Chennai corporation form part of ARUWEs growing
family.
It was started for the weaker sections of the society, like the Elders,
Children and Women. Initially Aruwe was doing Community Services
like conducting Awareness Programmes, Health Camps and Referral
Services. Hence we were catalyst between the people and the
Government
Organizations
and
Non-government
Organizations.
Through our limited contacts we were able to help many people in need.
In this due course we identified that it was the elders who required basic
needs like Food and Shelter. Hence we decided to give them a meal
everyday. With regard to this we approached our friends who came
forward to help us in feeding these elders. We started with three
deserving elders and within a month we had seven more elders. They
were Deserving Homeless Elders.
To render Community Services ARUWE had adopted three communities
in and around Ayanavaram from where we had identified 25 single
parent children who was in need of Educational Assistance. Family
Counsellors were appointed to deal severe marital problem and guide
them on Family & Child Welfare.

working against poverty, employed 174 expatriates and just over 5,000 national staff working
in ten developing countries.
Funding
Whether the NGOs are small or large, various NGOs need budgets to operate. The amount of
budget that they need would differ from NGOs to NGOs. Unlike small NGOs, large NGOs
may have annual budgets in the hundreds of millions or billions of dollars. For instance, the
budget of the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) was over US$540 million in
1999. Funding such large budgets demands significant fundraising efforts on the part of most
NGOs. Major sources of NGO funding are membership dues, the sale of goods and services,
grants from international institutions or national governments, and private donations. Several
EU-grants provide funds accessible to NGOs.
Even though the term "non-governmental organization" implies independence from
governments, many NGOs depend heavily on governments for their funding. A quarter of the
US$162 million income in 1998 of the famine-relief organization Oxfam was donated by the
British government and the EU. The Christian relief and development organization States
collected US$55 million worth of goods in 1998 from the American government.
Government funding of NGOs is controversial, since, according to David Rieff, writing
in The New Republic, "the whole point of humanitarian intervention was precisely that NGOs
and civil society had both a right and an obligation to respond with acts of aid and solidarity
to people in need or being subjected to repression or want by the forces that controlled them,
whatever the governments concerned might think about the matter. Some NGOs, such
as Greenpeace do not accept funding from governments or intergovernmental organizations.
Strengths Of Aruwe
ARUWEs key strengths include;
The organizations demonstrated ability to provide high quality, necessary services,
which help women and their children live a full life in the community.

WEAKNESS OF ARUWE
1)Limited finance resources that inhibits rapid response to challenges in the community.
2)Need to increase staff skill capacity
3)Need to improve electronic and hard copy document
Conclusion
I would like to conclude by saying, few things about the organizational visit. As in
the organization given to me was really a good one to observe. ARUWE taught me many
values for life. Instance, how to respect our parents and that we should not leave them alone
in their old age. It has created an impact, on me. When the aged women spoke to me, about
their life, it really disturbed me. It was full of pain and sorrow.Few women their like to b
apart of ARUWE, some do not, but they are there because they have no other place to go.
Over all I had a good experience in ARUWE. Personally I would like to thank you
ARUWE for allowing me to observe your organization for those 4 days.
A special thanks to the subject teacher of Ngo, Ms. ISHWARIYA, for giving me such
an opportunity to visit and observe ARUWE.
