| Abstract | ||||
| The study aimed to identify the realistic contribution that programs of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) make towards social protection for poor families. The study is based on the evaluation study method. The selection sample was based on a social survey of non-governmental organizations working to fight poverty. (5) NGOs were selected according to the following conditions: They provide services in poor neighborhoods, including basic services such as social, economic, educational and health services, as well as activities to improve the skills of poor families. The field of study reached (120) families who were undecided about the benefits of using the services of NGOs. The following conditions were observed: the families must receive skills development services and access to social services, and the average household income is less than LE1000 a month. The study is also based on the measure of the effectiveness of the programs prepared by the researcher. The study reached a number of results: The programs provided by NGOs need to be developed in light of the constantly changing needs of poor families; it is necessary to improve poor families’ skills through easier access to self-development programs. These programs play a key part in achieving social protection in developing countries in particular, due to the lack of resources and low levels of income in these countries. | ||||
