URGENT APPEAL for SUPPORT

"Women, men, boys and girls are dying in the communities, they are starving…and need help today" - Diana, Mafanikio Kenya (GRA partner).

This is an urgent appeal from Growth Reaching Africa and Mafanikio Community Based Organisation on behalf of the communities we work in rural Kenya. Drought, food shortages and extremely high food prices have resulted in a major food crisis in East Africa. The United Nations has described the current emergency as the world's greatest ongoing humanitarian disaster.

Please help by donating what you can - every € will help reach our emergency fund target of €2000 which will buy 23 bags of maize and 15 bags of beans to be divided in three rural communities - Kiukuni, Kavani and Makuli. Your contribution, whether €10 or €100 or €1000, will 100% directly go to saving lives and GRA's partner in Kenya with deliver food and assistance directly and immediately!

Please contact us for any information or offers to help!

Welcome to Voluntá

Welcome to the website of Voluntá. Voluntá intends to give Dutch individuals and organizations the opportunity to support the work of social, cultural and environmental non-profit organizations abroad.

Voluntá is the place to be for people who are looking for an interesting and meaningful holiday, an internship, or voluntary work at an environmental organization, school or orphanage abroad. Voluntá also caters to organizations that are interested in meaningful teambuilding activities or looking to develop concrete activities within their corporate social responsibility programme.

Voluntá mediates between Dutch individuals and organizations on the one hand, and social, cultural and environmental organizations abroad on the other hand. The Dutch participants commit themselves to work voluntarily, for a short while or a longer period, for the organization they support.

On this website, you will find all the necessary information about the different projects and how to apply for them. There is also information available for foreign organizations that are looking for ways to obtain volunteer support from the Netherlands .

Projects

At the moment, Voluntá can offer projects in Guatemala, Kenya, Mexico, Peru, Scotland and Vietnam. Below you will find an overview of the organizations and projects Voluntá works with in these countries. Unfortunately, descriptions of the individual projects are only available in Dutch, on the Dutch part of this website.

• Guatemala
• India
• Kenya
• Mexico

Guatemala
In Guatemala, Voluntá works with the organization FUNCEDESCRI through Nataté, the Mexican partner organiztion. FUNCEDESCRI's activities are mainly directed towards sustainable agriculture and food security for rural communities in Guatemala.

India
In 2010, Voluntá has started working with the Indian organization Volunteering India. Volunteering India aims to provide a difference in lives of the downtrodden in India by ways of helping volunteers in volunteering and spending their vacation helping people in need. Volunteering India mostly works in different parts of India and focuses on vulnerable groups, such as women and children. As international volunteering is Volunteering India's core business, they can pay specific time and attention to the support of the volunteers they receive.

Kenya
In Kenya, Voluntá Works with Mafanikio Community Based Organisation. Mafanikio is a Kenyan community based organization set up in 2003 to fight poverty in the marginalised regions of Kenya. Mafanikio originally started working in one specific community, but the organization is currently active in different parts of rural Kenya. Mafanikio focuses on promoting gender equality, human rights and sustainable development through a range of diverse programmes. These programmes, which include school feeding, local work camps, skills based training and community-based campaigns, contribute to an overall goal of poverty alleviation. The work camps are an enjoyable means of working together in a diverse cross-cultural setting to bring about positive, equitable and sustainable changes to Kenyan society. Besides the different work camps Mafanikio organises every year, Mafanikio also hosts long term volunteers.

About Dansk ICYE

Dansk ICYE (Danish International Cultural Youth Exchange) is an international cultural organisation, managing exchange programmes for Danish and foreign volunteers together with member and partner organisations.

Dansk ICYE is an independent member of the worldwide ICYE umbrella, and is annually sending approximately 100 and receiving 20 young people aged 16 to 30 years. In addition, Dansk ICYE is a partner of the European Voluntary Service (EVS) programme, with a steadily growing number of incoming and outgoing volunteers.

The purpose of our work is to promote cultural understanding across borders and traditions. We believe this can be facilitated by effect of our youth exchange programme, which is, living in a foreign country and doing local community-based voluntary work. This enables the exchange student to integrate in the hosting culture and to exchange view-points and ideas.

Dansk ICYE, founded 1974, is a non-profit NGO, and is primarily based on voluntary work by returned exchange students and past or present host families.

At present the worldwide ICYE foundation has national committees in 34 countries across Africa, Latin America, Europe, Asia and Ocenania, of which Dansk ICYE does exchange programmes with 18 countries.
Dansk ICYE will be happy to answer your questions or receive your comments on Dansk ICYE. Please contact our office on icye@icye.dk or +45 8618 0715.
