NGOs
What are NGOs? Non-governmental organizations (NGO) can be useful in a variety of ways all over the world and, depending on the context in which it is used; it may refer to many different types of organizations. In its broadest sense, a non-governmental organization is one that is not directly part of the structure of government. The United States has an estimated of 2 million NGOs; most of them are formed in the past 30 years.
One of the NGOs I will be talking about is from the United States, this NGO is called World Hunger Year (WHY), this NGO was found in 1975, and World Hunger Year's aim is to fight against hunger in the USA and possibly around the world. WHY is convinced that solutions to hunger and poverty can be found at the grassroots level. WHY advances long-term solutions to hunger and poverty by supporting community-based organizations that empower individuals and build self-reliance. WHY connects these organizations to funders, media and legislators.
WHY supplies jobs for people who don't have work, this gives them a chance to make money. i.e., offering job training, education and after school programs; increasing access to housing and healthcare; providing micro credit and industrial opportunities; teaching people to farm; and assisting small farmers
