Non-Governmental Organisations in Cochin

Cochin also known as Kochi has been attracting merchants, adventurers, and tourists to its shores for over 600 years, thanks to its location on a spectacular estuary. There is no other place in India where you can find such a fascinating blend of Portuguese and Dutch colonial-era buildings, as well as the decaying remnants of the British Raj. The end result is a strange mix of mediaeval Portugal and Holland, as well as an English village grafted onto the tropical coast of Malabar.

Just like the city being the amalgamation of various cultures, the people of it as well exhibit the same characteristics. While some people believe in the old ways of helping others by direct participation, some do by virtue of contributing in the form of resources. Nevertheless, it was this beautiful combination of people that made it possible for many NGOs to thrive and help those who need them.
