German NGOs by the numbersIt’s worth noting that Germany doesn’t need NGOs to take care of basic necessities like clean water, or access to education. They range widely in size, and their goals include AIDS counseling, homeless shelters, family planning centers, pregnancy conflict counseling centers, to counseling centers of any kind. Financing: A prevalent issueAs any NGO employee knows, one of the main challenges working for a non-profit is scarce funding. However, whilst funding is always an issue, the German government does support NGOs in other ways. Generally, left-wing parties, such Die Linke and Die Grünen, tend to support social counseling centers, whilst the CDU and other right-wing governments are perceived as being less encouraging of finances allocated towards social counseling projects.
