Social work as a professional subject to improve the overall social environment and promote a more harmonious and stable society coincides with the goals of some NGOs. Therefore, a large number of NGOs guided by the social work profession have been established. Most of the goals of these organizations are Facing certain disadvantaged groups in society, with the purpose of helping and solving the problems faced by the disadvantaged groups. This paper takes the application research of project evaluation methods in NGO financing as an example to examine the NGO fund acquisition and operation mechanism under project evaluation.

The article is devoted to the problem of social work with the elderly, which requires the study and determination of the features of such work for various modern social services. The relevance of the topic of the article is due to the growing number of clients of social services among the elderly. Previous studies of the social needs of this category of the population predict worsening a number of problems due to the shortcomings of state social security. The solution to the problem, according to the authors of the article, is related to the activities of non-governmental organizations that can provide social services to the elderly. In particular, the article describes the experience of a charitable foundation that operates according to an atypical scheme of aid organization. Not through the provision of funds, but primarily through the implementation of their own projects with the support of other social services of various forms. The article discusses how the needs and characteristics of the elderly can be taken into account in practical social work with clients. The authors rely on the materials of their own research, which was conducted by case study from April to October 2019 on the experience of the Kharkiv Charitable Foundation «Social service of assistance». The article states that the main directions of social protection of the elderly in modern conditions should be not only to improve their difficult financial situation, provide a sufficient level of medical care but also to improve the psychological and emotional state of people. The results obtained by researchers can contribute to the dissemination of successful experience of social work with the elderly; scientific analysis of problematic issues and obstacles in the activities of the charity fund with the elderly; optimization of further work of funds and other social services in this direction. In addition, according to the authors, the hypothesis of indifferent attitude of society to the problems of the elderly needs to be studied scientifically, because this factor significantly hinders the implementation of social assistance to this group of clients by various social services, including charitable foundations.

Health Equality

An evaluation of the role played by the social work profession during the outbreak of COVID-19 is necessary. Although social workers have made efforts to address people’s needs during the pandemic, it is worth examining the role they have played in safeguarding health equality. Focusing on the case of Hong Kong, we found that the profession was generally ill-prepared for the outbreak, and in particular, for confronting the attendant social inequalities. We identified three possible reasons for these findings: 1) non-governmental organizations were caught off-guard by the outbreak, 2) there was no clearly articulated intervention agenda to inform practitioners of the roles they should play in such a large-scale crisis, and 3) having become more formalized and standardized, social work services may have become less flexible in responding to emerging community needs. We conclude this article by suggesting three directions that could allow the profession to better pursue its mission during large-scale crises.

This work seeks to identify the perception and expectations of stakeholders regarding the contribution of NGOs in environmental education. The research was guided by the Delphi method and, as a result, verified that the involved stakeholders understand that environmental education practiced by NGOs must be ample, free, professionalized and directed towards all the segments of society via partnerships with public and private sector organizations.

In addition, surveys were sent by e-mail to the primary school districts and non-governmental organizations that help children with Down syndrome. Fifty two questionnaires were collected. The results indicate that, despite intellectual disability, parents recognize the intellectual potential of their children. It can be assumed that assessments of the intellectual potential of students with Down syndrome and diagnosed intellectual disability are determined by their siblings in the intellectual norm, gender, using verbal speech, communication skills, social skills and opinions of their parents about their successes in school and progress as a result of the therapy.

The non-governmental organizations (NGOs) require human resources to carry out their activities. This includes both the professionals who are paid and the volunteers. The capture of this resource acquires as much importance as the implementation of the social goals that these organizations promote. It can be said then that just as the commercial or cultural sectors are approached from the field of communication and design, it is valid to make an academic approach to this social problem. Fundraising was born as a strategy applied in NGOs with the purpose of generating resources for them to be able to sustain themselves through time.

The article aims to analyze the ways in which personal development is used as a tool to manage social justice issues, domestic violence cases and other forms of structural inequality. In most works in the social sciences, self-help discourse has been criticized for reiterating the individualizing neoliberal discourse that leads to growing social inequalities, along with blaming the most vulnerable for their own fate. However, personal development as a practice has been used by organizations working at community level to address personal issues caused by social inequalities. The analysis aims to present the intertwining of global ideological and political plans at the individual level through non-governmental organizations, their projects and personal development courses. The research consisted in the analysis of the activities and projects of the organizations that are part of the Network for Preventing and Combating Violence against Women (VIF) and the ethnography data of personal development practices in Romania from a previous research.
