Free
fundraising and volunteer support for research projects
Global Vision International
November, 2002
Global Vision International
has recently launched its new website, www.gvi.org.uk,
which will assist charities, non-profits, NGO's and governmental
organisations around the world to source volunteers and raise funds
for their conservation, research, and community development projects.
This new venture offers participating organisations development
assistance in establishing a Volunteer programme to help provide
access to committed human resources and funding through a share
of Volunteer donations.
Each fundraising and volunteer recruitment scheme is tailored to
the individual programme to ensure that the participating organisation
gets maximum benefit from Global Vision's Support.
GVI will provide volunteers, skilled or unskilled, for any period
of time from two weeks to two years. In return for the opportunity
to work alongside the individual organisation, the Volunteer will
fund his/herself, and often make a donation to the project, ensuring
that the host organisation does not incur any expenses.
Global Vision requires that participating organisations are able
to show a commitment to one of its focal points of sustainable development:
environment, education and community development. They must also
be a registered charity, NGO or non profit organisation, and have
the basic infrastructure to support a Volunteer programme.
GVI is currently supporting projects in ten different countries.
These include wildlife research in South Africa, an adult literacy
programme in Uganda, a teaching project in China and Cloudforest
biodiversity research in Ecuador.
