international non-governmental organization

An international non-governmental organization (NGO) is a non-profit group that operates across national borders but is not part of any government. These organizations work independently to address various global issues, such as human rights, environmental protection, and poverty alleviation. NGOs often collaborate with local communities, governments, and other organizations to create positive change. They rely on donations, grants, and volunteers to fund their activities and raise awareness about important causes. Examples include Amnesty International and Greenpeace, which advocate for social justice and environmental sustainability, respectively.
