Partner Needs
Voluntario Global is a non-government organization (NGO) that works within poor communities.
We receive no financial assistance from the government; our funds come directly from generous donations. Our resources are distributed according to local needs under the strict supervision of our local coordinators.
With this in mind, the donations we request from participants in our programs are fair and accessible to all. The small income generated from participants in our programs allows us to maintain our presence and continue our work.
In addition, a volunteer's contribution towards their own program goes to funding the whole volunteer program: from administration costs, volunteer recruitment, the development and running of volunteer programs, orientation, training and funding the project itself.
Mission Statement
We aim to provide underprivileged members of the community with opportunities to reach self-sustainability.
We do this through the kindness of our volunteers who bring valuable skills, knowledge and teamwork to our projects.
