We want to provide support in order to sustainably accompany the
local people in helping them to help themselves.
To do this, we work closely with highly motivated volunteers.
Current information: Due to the ongoing political unrest and the associated uncertainties prevailing in the country, no volunteers are currently being dispatched. However, you can make a reservation for yourself for a later date.
