Our long-term international volunteers are a crucial part of our African-led ministry in Africa.  When you donate, you are enabling us to build resilience in vulnerable communities because long-term volunteers serve African leaders and act as "scaffolding": a temporary, but essential tool in building a structure and leaving it stronger than upon arrival.  African leaders are able to focus on what their strengths are, while international volunteers serve and support in whichever way expands their impact and reach.

"It has been a huge privilege serving alongside international volunteers.  They offer unique ways of seeing and doing things and add huge value to the work.  We learn so much from each other!!"  - Jackie Okindah, Hands at Work leader from Kenya.
