Religion is the Belief Humanity is the Foundation By Angela Guzman

It's a beautiful thing when individuals can come together as brothers and sisters despite their differences. Religion is a very controversial subject and many groups will not offer help to others based on their conflicting religious beliefs. However, there are some non-governmental organizations that are inspired by the human soul and devote their lives to helping others no matter what.

These NGO's understand that faith is spiritual and doesn't make a person good or bad - it's just their belief. We are all on the journey of life together and it's amazing that people are willing to reach out and make a difference. Here are some inspirational NGO's that are embodying the spirit of life.

Catholic Relief Services

Catholic Relief Services (CRS) was founded in 1943 by the Catholic Bishops of the United States to serve World War II survivors in Europe. Since then, we have expanded in size to reach more than 100 million people in more than 100 countries on five continents.

Their mission is to assist impoverished and disadvantaged people overseas, working in the spirit of Catholic social teaching to promote the sacredness of human life and the dignity of the human person. Although their mission is rooted in the Catholic faith, the operations serve people based solely on need, regardless of their race, religion or ethnicity. CRS is motivated by the example of Jesus Christ to ease suffering, provide development assistance and foster charity and justice.
