GAFV was founded to match people who want to experience the world and make it a better place, with those who have asked us to support them to change their world on over 50 community led projects in 7 countries.
Your participation on our overseas volunteering projects abroad delivers real change in people’s lives, increasing their opportunities, and providing genuine hope to underserved communities in developing countries in Africa, and Asia.
Our journey began with Paul in Sri Lanka, who was asked by government bodies, schools, and local communities to support their development, empowering you to become an agent of change.
Our commitment to our partners 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.
