Funded projects concentrated mainly on equity of life, primarily by supporting orphanages, handicapped children programs, living arrangements for disadvantaged widows, rural community development and the assistance of disadvantaged families of tuberculosis patients in Korea. The organization has since been reorganized in 1996 and now supports projects in 35 countries. The majority of those programs focus on ultimately enabling the young and poor to become self-reliant through education and nutrition. In August 1996, Good Neighbors was granted General Consultative Status, the highest status level for an NGO, with the UN ECOSOC.〔List of organizations with consultative status to the United Nations Economic and Social Council〕 In 2007, Good Neighbors was recognized by the UN with a Millennium Development Goal (MDG) Award for their achievements in Universal Primary Education.〔http://www.omdg.org/en/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7:mdg-awards-results-for-goal-2--education&catid=1:latest-news〕 Good Neighbors currently operates projects in 26 field countries, with more than 120 project sites in third world countries, 26 project sites in North Korea, and in 40 field offices consisting of 70 project sites in South Korea, and with USA, Japan and Switzerland as supporting countries, with the annual budget of 2009 at approximately $48M, with 1,500 employees worldwide, a total of 12,000 volunteers, and 350,000 individual donors. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Good Neighbors (NGO)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
