HELP FUND OUR FIRST CLASS OF VOLUNTEERS!

by Africa Volunteer Corps

AVC is a volunteer organization for Africans to work in African NGO’s. We unite passionate, qualified African volunteers with local NGOs to deepen their impact and propel Africa forward. Our goal is to foster African development leaders and to strengthen grassroots social change.

By donating, you are a vital part of our movement. Your funds become stipends to the Tanzanian volunteers, allowing them to devote a year of their lives to improving their corner of the world, while gaining valuable skills and experience to propel them forward. At the same time, locally-initiated development projects that are already providing vital services in their communities deepen their impact with the help of this energetic, capable workforce. Your $5, $50, $500 is empowerment, self-determination, strength, and a brighter future.

How we use your gift:


·     $5 pays for a day of work for a volunteer

·     $25 covers half a week of work at a local NGO

·      $50 provides a week to 10 days of volunteering

·      $200 supports a volunteer for an entire month

·      $500 covers approximately 3 months of work for a volunteer

·      $1,000 helps a volunteer for approximately 6 months

·      $2,400 empowers a volunteer for an entire year

·      $10,000 pays the stipends for half of our volunteers for a full year
