Challenges faced by the Mission Heal NGO

Introduction:

Challenges are common to NGOs and they have to tackle a lot of small and big challenges on a daily basis. Motivation of the NGO staffs, especially the founders and the top executive management is critically important to face such issues. The MissionHeal NGO is no different organization in this regard and they have their share of challenges to be dealt with on a daily basis. Most of the challenges for an NGO are mainly about the donors and donations. The Mission Heal NGO accepts that fundraising is the most difficult job for an NGO today. Sometimes they face a lot of difficulty in approaching their current and potential donors as well. On the other side, the NGOs complaints that sometimes the donors have very high and impractical expectations and ask very difficult questions which most of the representative of the NGOs fail to answer satisfactorily.

The reasons behind failure of NGOs:

An NGO can fail because of a number of reasons. India is dominated by a lot of small scale NGOs who comes into existence by just a single person’s effort. Such organizations take time to settle down with the acquiring of the resources and funds. If they fail to meet the resource requirement and the adequate funds, then obviously such NGOs collapse badly and have to terminate their operation. The small size of NGOs also faces huge problems in targeting the requirements of the community due to their limited resources. It means that a good intention of the founding person is not enough to run a successful NGO. Rather, there is a need for the NGOs to have several dedicated people laying the foundation stone of the NGO having a clear vision and objectives. Otherwise, a weak foundation would always result in the failure of the NGO sooner or later. The MissionHeal NGO is blessed to have a strong foundation which is always helping the NGO in all its operational and administrative efforts. Following are some of the other reasons of the failure of NGOs:

• ·        Weak administrative and management skills can quickly result in the failure of an NGO.
• ·        The NGOs are required to have good accountability systems for the satisfaction of all stakeholders. A lot of NGOs are biased in this regard as they have a much better accountability system for the foreign donors while accountability for the national donors is not up to the mark. This is where the NGOs struggle and several times fails miserably.
• ·        A lot of NGOs have the ego of working alone and they don’t seek help from any other NGO or the government when actually they should take it. Time has seen several such egoistic NGOs failing badly in meeting the requirements of the people of the community.
• ·        Donors donate funds by asking the NGOs to fulfill their expectations with the money they are giving. Several NGOs who fail to meet the requirements of the donors also fail to survive.

The Mission Heal is one such NGO which is funded by the donations from the public individuals, the government and also by their members as well. They work for the welfare of the community at the community, regional, national or international level. The aims and objectives of different NGOs vary as the focus of each NGO is different. However, the Mission Heal NGO believes that the agenda of all the NGOs is same which is the wellness of the community.

Long term Aims of Mission Heal NGO:

The Mission Heal NGO has a vision and some long term goals which set up the current and future operation of the NGO.

If this is the case, then it is mentioned on the website of both the NGOs. These are actually the long term aims or goals of the NGO and this thing helps us in distinguishing between the diverse interests of different NGOs. The establishment of such long term aims or goals is critically important because some of the important instances, such as a full fledge war in a country can cause similar actions by a number of international organizations such as the World Assembly Youth and the International Law Association. So these international bodies by knowing the long term goals of the NGOs can help the local community and the affected people by joining hands and providing help to the war victims in a more profound and organized way. The internet is a big medium these days and such international bodies can easily find out their intended NGOs in case of any emergency, disaster or war. It is for this reason that all of the NGOs should have their long term goals which are clearly defined on their website.

Short term or the immediate goals:

The short term goals of the Mission heal NGO are as important as their long term goals. The general vision of any NGO is endorsed by their immediate or the short term goals. The short term goals of an NGO mainly include their daily activities. As an example, if an NGO is working on the health sector in a particular community, then the short term goals of this NGO would be to check the supply of equipment, ensuring that the hospital staff is working properly and also the feedback of the people of the community who they are serving. A timely and quick reaction to all the unexpected events should be in the scope of short term goals of an NGO. The NGOs have to equip themselves with all the material and financial resources in order to be prepared for any unexpected situation. The monitoring of such short term goals should also be done on a daily basis.
