What is an NGO?

NGOs, or Non-Governmental Organizations, are independent groups that operate separately from the government to address social, environmental, humanitarian, or community issues. They can be local, national, or international in scope and are typically nonprofit organizations. NGOs play a vital role in advocacy, development, and relief efforts, often working to improve living conditions, promote human rights, and support sustainable development. Their work is usually funded through donations, grants, or partnerships with other organizations.
