It is an commendable initiatives. Please keep it up. As a development worker if I could be of any help to you, please let me know.

Why shouldn't poor people who make most of the NGOs operate as companies? Does poverty mean that they can't earn profits? What is wrong with charities making money and then pumping it back to causes dear to them?

I feel we have allowed the poor to remain so to enable the banks/ moneylenders to remain rich.

Very good case -- social objectives combined with business orientation.

First of all, I would like to show appreciation for your efforts. Even though you have reduced your prices to a considerable extent, the majority of our population cannot afford it. Hence, state intervention is required to provide a few necessary things like healthcare, education, social security etc.

I fully endorse that charities will have to work in a professional manner to earn and to distribute prosperity to the poor .It will be a good idea that they function as companies with full transparency and commitment to the cause of society.

Instead of paying income tax to the corrupt officials, why don't the multinational companies fund brilliant minds to start new businesses? Will this not benefit the societies?

I think that charity organizations shouldn't operate as companies, because there is a belief that companies are set up for profit seeking only.

I really do think charities can operate as companies for the poor and the needy, especially because when all we see around us is poverty and starvation.

Our world need more of this kind of extremely positive action (and activists).
