    - Reasons Why Charity Is Important

    Charity is defined as giving resources like time and money without expecting anything in
    return. This selfless giving serves the most vulnerable in society and helps ensure that
    peoples’ human rights and needs are met. Organizations built on this belief are
    nonprofits, which means they don’t benefit financially from donations intended for the
    causes they serve. Charities have existed for hundreds of years in various forms.
    Today, you can find charities for countless causes focusing on health,
    culture, education, the environment, jobs, and more. Why does charity matter?

    #1. Charity harnesses the power of community


    When people come together, they can make a big impact. Charities depend on
    individuals who commit to giving small amounts. While donations from big groups are
    great, a community that cares about a charity and who they serve is essential. It’s those
    small donations that add up. The power of community proves that when people care
    and come together, change is more than possible. This inspires others around the world
    and encourages more participation in charities.

    #2. Charity teaches the next generation about generosity


    Giving to charity is a selfless act. There’s no financial return. Generosity for its own sake
    creates a more compassionate, community-focused world. Modeling the value of
    generosity and selflessness to children makes it more likely they will continue to give as
    adults. This creates lasting change and a legacy of kindness.

    #3. Charity reduces poverty


    Charitable organizations are very effective at reducing poverty. This is thanks to a focus
    on the factors that contribute to poverty, such as social inequality and limited access to
    education. Over the years, the poverty rate has been cut down significantly. In 2015, the
    1990 poverty rate was cut in half five years ahead of schedule. Charity played a big role
    in that achievement.
    #4. Charity benefits donors, as well
    Charity is about giving without expecting anything in return, but donors get intangible
    benefits. Helping others creates feelings of peace, pride, and purpose. These feelings
    translate into a more fulfilled life. When people experience this positivity, they’re more
    likely to continue giving and participating in other ways, as well. The world is a better
    place when people have a purpose.
    #5. Charity brings attention to the most serious issues
    Because it fosters a sense of community and purpose, most people want to help those
    around them. However, many don’t understand the urgency of certain issues or know
    how to help. Charity is important because it raises awareness of issues and gives
    donors the power to do something about them.

    #6. Charities protect public health


    Lack of access to good healthcare is a serious issue. This includes reproductive care,
    dental care, and preventative healthcare. Problems like contaminated water also
    contribute to sickness and death for hundreds of thousands of people every year. When
    people aren’t healthy, it affects every aspect of their life and fuels poverty. Charities that
    focus on health through vaccine programs, clean water, and other services allow
    communities to improve their lives.
    #7. Charity ensures human rights are respected
    Human rights are not something anyone should have to earn. These rights include the
    right to life, education, work, and free speech. Many charities focus on life’s essentials
    like shelter, food, water, and education. While governments should be responsible for
    caring for those within their borders, it often doesn’t happen for one reason or another.
    That’s why charities are so important. Many nonprofits also hold governments
    accountable when they are the ones violating human rights.
