Some organisations are set up by a group of individuals for serving the society, which can be a Non-Governmental Organisations or NGO and Non-Profit Organisations or NPO. Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) and Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) both functions to benefit the society and welfare of humans or improve the world.
