International NGO Day - February 27th

Today, we celebrate International NGO Day! The role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the development of Azerbaijani society, strengthening civil society, and improving social welfare is undeniable. NGOs not only address social issues but also play a vital role in shaping public policy, increasing public participation, and enhancing the legal environment.

As the Ümidli Gələcək Social Initiatives Public Union, we take pride in being one of the long-standing NGOs that has been active since the period of independence, and we have been tirelessly working to serve our community and improve the quality of life for our people. We are not just a part of civil society but also offer direct services to people, helping solve their social, legal, and psychological issues. For us, this is not just a duty, but a reflection of our moral and social responsibility.

However, as NGOs, we must not only be content with the projects and social activities we carry out. We need to identify gaps in social policy, propose solutions to address them, initiate legal changes, and collaborate with state institutions. The activities of NGOs should not be limited to serving society; they should also lead to long-term, systemic changes.

On this special day, we sincerely congratulate all NGOs and thank them for their invaluable work. Your efforts significantly contribute to the progress of Azerbaijani society towards a stronger, fairer, and more developed future.

At Ümidli Gələcək Social Initiatives, we believe that together we can make even greater changes!
