The Mutual Aid Society
The Mutual Aid Society is an organization where members pool their resources to support each other in times of need, such as illness, death, or financial hardship. Instead of relying solely on government programs or insurance, members contribute regular payments or dues, creating a collective fund. When someone faces a problem, the society provides financial assistance or services, promoting community solidarity and shared responsibility. These societies have historically operated at local or community levels and play a vital role in fostering mutual support among members.
