Organizations like the YMCA, YWCA, and Salvation Army were created in the 19th century to address social issues stemming from rapid urbanization and industrialization. They aimed to provide support, education, and community services to marginalized populations, including the poor, women, and children. These organizations focused on promoting physical health, moral development, and social welfare, fostering a sense of community and belonging among individuals facing challenging circumstances. Their efforts were rooted in religious and humanitarian principles, seeking to improve the overall quality of life in society.
