COVID-19 has drastically changed the whole world. From food shortages to problems in the healthcare sector, we’ve seen a wide range of problems since the start of the pandemic in 2020. In these challenging circumstances, NGOs play a vital role in helping individuals get their lives back on track.

Here's a few examples of how NGO's are adapting in an ever-changing pandemic era.  They are finding different ways to rise to the needs and demands placed on them during these turbulent times. 

NGOs Are Focusing On Food And Hygiene Kits

Unfortunately, almost fifteen percent of households in the US are facing food insecurity because of the pandemic. This is why many NGOs in the US strive to provide food supplies to underprivileged areas.

Also, in the post-pandemic era, many households can’t afford basic hygiene kits and medicines because of the increasing unemployment. NGOs focus on distributing masks, sanitizers, and other relevant hygiene products to help struggling US citizens.

NGOs Are Creating Awareness For New COVID-19 Variants

With the emergence of new variants like Omicron and Delta, there’s a lot of misinformation spreading like wildfire on social media platforms. Many NGOs are working to create informative marketing campaigns that can help people understand the difference in the COVID-19 variants and how they can tackle it effectively.

NGOs Are Using Social Service Software To Improve Efficiency

The pandemic has evolved the way NGOs used to work. Relying on traditional methods during the pandemic proved to be difficult for agencies and the people they served. Many nonprofit organizations relized the need to adapt and upgade their technology.  But how do you do that?

An excellent practice that many NGOs have adopted is using social service software. From billing to managing your daily workload, you can conduct various tasks more efficently by using case management software. 

The benefits of being able to work remotely during the pandemic was a life saver for many NGOs.  Most modern case management software platforms are both highly secure and comply with HIPAA guidelines.  

Finding a secure and reliable social service software can be a challenge.  If you're ready to have that conversation, Global Vision Technologies, the developer of FAMCare has been helping agencies with their nonprofit software needs for over 20 years.
