International Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)

International Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are independent, nonprofit groups that operate across multiple countries to address global issues like health, human rights, environment, and development. They are driven by volunteers, activists, and professionals, and work alongside communities, governments, and other organizations to implement projects, advocate for policy changes, and provide aid. Unlike governments, NGOs are not controlled by any state, allowing them to act swiftly and focus on specialized causes. Their work often fills gaps left by governments, promoting positive social, economic, and environmental change worldwide.
