Non-government organizations work on various issues that affect humanity. Areas can be agriculture, pollution, global warming, disaster risk reduction, public health & nutrition, gender equality, domestic violence, child development, human rights, water and sanitation etc.

On the top of these broad areas, many organizations have their way to deal with problems and take up specific roles to bring desired change int their area . Some organizations focus on research, program implementation, advocacy, capacity building, technical support etc.
