Non-goverbmental organizations(NGOs) are organizations that are independent of governments. They are non-profit making, which means the money they make is used to help those in need. There are many different kinds of NG0s. One of the largest is Doctors with Africa, which tries to improve the health of people in Africa and countries like Afghanistan and Iraq. An international NG0 that gives health support to the poor and victims of war is Doctors without Borders. Many other NG0s are charities which help the poor; they include organizations such as Save the Children.
