The word 'charity' means in giving some matter to the destitute out of loving kindness, generosity and a charitable organization is an association with funds to assist the destitute.  There's a proverb: 'Charity begins at home.' A person, who possesses compassion from his early days towards the weak as well as the destitute in the society and is kind at heart, is usually discovered to assist and also make presents to the poor. He finds gratification and happiness in giving alms to a beggar, or returns some fiscal help to the destitute individuals that are close at hand.
