NGOs have been a contentious issue in Pakistan for several years, with the last year being no exception. In fact, this past December 2016, there were two major changes that would affect NGOs operating in Pakistan: one was a new law regarding charities and social welfare organizations while the other was an increase in government oversight. This article will explore these developments and what they could mean for youth issues NGOs going forward.
NGOs in Pakistan have been instrumental in helping to bring about change to the country. These organizations have been working for years on different issues, including child labor and education. Their efforts are making a difference and they deserve support from individuals everywhere.
NGOs in Pakistan have helped improve the lives of many children who were being affected by poverty, lack of education, and other factors that prevent them from living a full life. Organizations such as these need all the help they can get from people around the world because their work is not yet complete.
