The African centre for Volunteers

  • East Africa Food Crisis:

  • Fighting Malnutrition:
    Fighting Malnutrition:
    An ACV supported health facility in Ijara, Kenya is making sure that children under the age of five, and pregnant and lactating mothers can get quality nutritional care. ACV will continue to work with additional government health facilities in Kenya towards a significant reduction in the rates of acute malnitrition.
  • Education in Emergencies:
    Education in Emergencies:
    ACV’s humanitarian response seeks to integrate an education program to respond not only through scholarships, but also by supporting safe and supportive learning environments for the girls. Support our education campaign: “100girls in 100 days”
  • Linking and Learning:
    Linking and Learning:
    Our Volunteer program links the need for skills within various community projects (in Kenya and Northern Uganda) to the availability of such skills from individuals locally and internationally. Volunteer Teachers, Nurses, Medical doctors, and Social workers have become a critical part of ACVs identity.
  • Investing in generations:
    Investing in generations:
    The quality of leadership communities will have in future depends on the quality of investment we dedicate to that future leadership. We engage with schools to create an environment supportive of learning and psychosocial growth
  • Engaging Communities:
    Engaging Communities:
    Communities need to proactively involve in finding solutions to the development challenges they face. Helping them build resilience is our core business.
