Feedback:
Nongovernmental organizations are private agencies that voluntarily use their resources to address a variety of healthcare initiatives in the United States. The International Committee of the Red Cross is known most for its role in disaster relief. Oxfam International focuses specifically on issues related to hunger and nutritional health. Philanthropies are organizations that are similar to NGOs but receive funding through personal endowments. For example, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation focuses on health, poverty, and development in Africa, South America, Asia, and Australia. The Living Proof Project supports vaccine and nutrition programs, as well as decreasing the incidence of diseases such as polio, HIV/AIDS, and tropical illnesses.
