OUR VILLAGE is an independent Non-Governmental Organization which aims towards facilitating programs for youth to volunteer in developing countries worldwide. Through hands on experience OUR VILLAGE believes that volunteer experiences can assist with children, women, and political situations in developing countries. Furthermore, the programs are directed towards helping the participants mature into responsible adults who are aware of the drastic conditions that others live in around the world.
With the support of experienced volunteers, fundraisers, and a high quality management team, OUR VILLAGE is building a network of contacts with host NGO’s and other organizations abroad including Latin America, Southern and South-East Asia, and OUR VILLAGE also works with other organizations to assist in Disaster Relief Operations such as the earthquakes in Pakistan and Indonesia and the landslide in the Philippines. Donations that are made through OUR VILLAGE are sent through volunteers to the affected areas and are used directly to assist in urgent relief programs and to develop recovery initiatives such as building relief centers, schools and playgrounds, assisting injured children, and purchasing supplies for local schools. |
