Inspiring growth

"People sometimes think NGOs are completely different from corporates, but in reality, the same dynamics apply because we’re still dealing with people. What sets nonprofits apart, though, is the passion and commitment of those who work in the sector. It’s not about making money for a big boss; it’s about making a real impact. I think more people should understand the sacrifices and heart that go into this work—it’s a sector driven by passion rather than profit."

This interview series with our hashtag#Nonprofit Service Provider Classifieds advertisers aims to unveil the stories and motivations behind those who specialise in uplifting and guiding the nonprofit community.
