Questions About Nonprofit Groups in Peru

Peruvian officials are concerned about the work of nonprofit groups in their country, according to an opinion article in The Wall Street Journal.

Mary Anastasia O’Grady, a Journal columnist, writes that American nonprofit organizations have given money to human-rights groups linked to leftist guerrillas and that Álan Garcia, president of Peru, told her that “anticapitalism” charities — or nongovernmental groups — supported by foreign funds are blocking economic development in Peru.

“No wonder the term NGO has become a dirty word in Peru,” she writes.
