its work aims to
Explanation:
Notice that the "que" is ungrammatical. I would correct the problem and start a new sentence that says:
'Its work aims to steadily improve the quality of life ...'

Also note, by the way, that nongovernmental organization is not usually hyphenated and you want to add 'of' after 'regardless'.

if I had to translate it, I would say "lasting"
