Top Rated Projects Abroad to Change our Worlds
Join Community Initiated Well Managed Projects Abroad
GAFV was founded to match people like you who want to experience and change the world, with volunteering projects abroad, in Africa, and Asia, that are changing people’s worlds and futures.
Each of our projects abroad is community led project, originating in the desire of the local people. These may be hospital based, inviting elective students and licenced practitioners to join them, or a university, or villages, and schools for group and individual volunteering.
Your participation on our overseas volunteering projects abroad delivers real change in people’s lives, increasing opportunities, and often providing genuine hope to underserved communities in developing countries in Africa, and Asia.
Our journey began with Paul, who, while working in Sri Lanka, was asked by government bodies, schools, and local communities to support their development, and he quickly realized that volunteers could and would be able to achieve purpose of the requests. Paul's firsthand experience in the field ignited the spark that would fuel Give A Fig Volunteering’s mission to empower you to become agents of change.
We have forged partnerships with organizations in five countries, each having contacted us for support, and are united with them in common purpose: to enhance the well-being of their communities through the involvement of dedicated volunteers like yourself. Our collaborations transcend borders, languages, and cultures as we work together to create lasting impact.
Our commitment goes beyond just connecting volunteers with organizations. We offer our expertise and support, free of charge, to new organizations seeking to establish themselves and make a positive mark. We believe in nurturing local initiatives and amplifying their efforts, knowing that collective action is the key to driving change.
GAFV's impact lies in its ability to harness the power of individuals, local organizations, and global collaboration to simply address complex societal challenges. We provide a platform where your skills, knowledge, and interest converge with community led projects, resulting in transformative outcomes for all involved.
Make your volunteering journey with us, and become a vital part of an organisation dedicated to reshaping the world. Together, we are not just changing lives; we are changing the future, so explore our website today for opportunities to join us as that force for positive change in communities that need it most.
