We have a team that would like to help orphanages by helping to stabilize them and give them necessities like food and clothing. The goal is to give a life to something long abandoned and forgotten. I understand the registeration but what about sponsor s ?
Hi ikram,
We appreciate the great initiative you are undertaking to help the underprivileged in society. The issue of sponsorship lies solely on your determination to succeed in your aforementioned initiative and it requires you to personally go out, share your vision and idea to people and engage them so that those who share in your vision and goals can ultimately sponsor you.

Hi Eliud,
Both require separate procedures and are autonomous of each other, if you require to start an NGO you will have to set up one from scratch, there is no UPGRADE process to that effect.
Thank you for your feedback. Am kindly requesting if you can guide me in opening one.
Do you have a clear objective of the NGO you are considering to start up?
