Hi! 
We are planning to make an educational product - a kids book - that will be sold by and NGO and the money will be used for its charity activities with mothers and children. 
The writer is providing the story for free. The publisher will publish the book for free. 
The illustrations need to be for free as well. 
Is adobe stock standard license an option in this case?
Thank you!

Your indications, even that they are honourable use cases, are irrelevant here. What only counts is, if the asset is the main reason to buy this book. And if the (combined) print run is under 500k. If you can answer both questions with a clear no, then a standard licence is adequate.

 

Look here for more information on licensing: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock/links-for-licensing-terms/td-p/11366788
(Disclaimer: As always with licensing, this is my interpretation of the rules. I think they are correct and advice is based on reading and interpreting the licence terms and on fair use for both the buyer and the artist/stock company, but I cannot rule out that my interpretation is wrong. I'm not an Adobe employee).
