Program Details

International teachers volunteer their time, pay their own costs and fundraise to help donate
materials for their classes. Teaching English is only one aspect of our work. Volunteers are fully immersed into the community, mentoring children and training the community in eco-friendly technologies such as solar cooking. Activities include giving art classes, helping to build housing, setting up IT hardware donations, giving basic HIV/AIDS advice, playing games and football, and sharing music and dancing skills.

All consequent projects, highlighted by our volunteers and constant networking, are aimed at sustainable development for the entire community. We work alongside the Development Education Association (see section) to provide continued involvement for all teacher volunteers in development education.

AVIF and onsite Volunteers can offer a range of simple but effective concepts such as small business, renewable energy, disease prevention, empowerment to women. After the program ends we use NABUUR to action specific projects. NABUUR’s online system (created by ex-CEO of World Wildlife Fund, Netherlands) enables transparency with Wiki project management and allows anyone anywhere to log in from home or office to help.
