ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

International financial institutions

International financial institutions are organizations that help countries around the world by providing them with money for projects or loans. They help countries move forward with projects that can improve their lives, like building roads, schools, hospitals, or creating clean water sources. These institutions also help countries get out of debt if they are having trouble paying back money they already owe. They are like a bank: they lend money when needed, and help countries find ways to pay it back.
