NGOs play a vital role in society and the study intends to discover its role and challenges in a pandemic. The study questions covered the issues that the local NGO encountered, and it was learned through the respondents' interviews that the NGO reported a decline in the quantity of money raised through donations and collections. The NGO was dealing with a reduction in subsidies, the loss of fee-for-service income, and the delay in processing funds, among other problems. The research additionally reveals that the NGO is unable to retain its employees and help everyone in need as a result. According to the study, the NGO's operations and activities were impacted in a number of ways by the extra challenges brought on by the pandemic.
