Charity

Charity refers to the voluntary act of giving help, support, or resources to those in need, often for the purpose of alleviating suffering and improving the quality of life for individuals or communities. It encompasses the actions of donating money, goods, services, or time to organizations or individuals that provide assistance to various causes, such as poverty relief, education, healthcare, disaster recovery, and social justice. Charity can also refer to the organizations or institutions that are established for these humanitarian purposes, often classified as nonprofit entities. The core principle of charity is altruism, reflecting a desire to promote the welfare of others without personal gain. In many cultures, charity is considered a moral or ethical obligation, encouraging individuals to share their resources with those less fortunate.
