Top 10 Community Service Non-Profits in Pakistan

Introduction

Before we jump into the details of non-profits working in Pakistan, it is important to define what community service is all about. Stating the obvious, it is a non-paying job performed by one person or a group of persons for the benefit of their community. Community service, when viewed in a broader aspect, is one of the greatest ways of helping those who live anywhere in the world. It does not matter if the community service is conducted through a basic medium such as a school or college, or through NGOs, the purpose served is the same. Now, let us talk about the top 10 community service non-profits in Pakistan. These organizations have been instrumental in reaching out to those who need our help, and their good work must be praised through at least words, if not more.
