mutual aid organizations

Mutual aid organizations are community-driven groups where members voluntarily support each other, sharing resources, skills, and services to address common needs. Unlike traditional charity or government assistance, these groups operate on solidarity and reciprocity, empowering communities to help themselves during emergencies, crises, or everyday challenges. They emphasize cooperation, local knowledge, and collective resilience, fostering stronger community bonds and ensuring that support is accessible and responsive to specific local circumstances.
