NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) are non-profit organizations that operate independently of any government. They are usually formed by individuals or groups with a common interest or goal, and they work towards addressing social, environmental, or humanitarian issues. NGOs can focus on a wide range of areas such as human rights, education, healthcare, environmental conservation, poverty alleviation, and more. They often rely on donations, grants, and volunteers to carry out their work. NGOs play a crucial role in advocating for change, providing assistance to vulnerable communities, and promoting sustainable development.
