Social Media for Social Good

• As an NGO, you work for a cause because you support it with all your heart.
• A thankless job at times, you still pursue and persevere because someone, somewhere, is happier because of your efforts and that makes you carry on the good work.
• There are people who might want to lend you a helping hand but don’t know where to start; there are people who need your help but don’t know how to reach you.
• Reach out to them. Connect with them.
• Let your tireless passion for your cause reflect in your social media presence.
• Let social media do its bit to energize your efforts for social good.
• And if you need someone to help out with it, we are always there!
