Featured organization: Able Volunteers International Fund







AVIF is a fantastic affiliate of Worldwide Risk Management based in the UK.

Established in March 2006, AVIF is an independent non-profit UK registered charity. AVIF is registered with the UK government HMRC (Her Majestys Revenue and Customs) and receives no funding from the UK or Kenyan governments and no significant sustained funding from other sources.

International teachers volunteer their time, pay their own costs and fundraise to help donate
materials for their classes. Teaching English is only one aspect of our work. Volunteers are fully immersed into the community, mentoring children and training the community in eco-friendly technologies such as solar cooking. Activities include giving art classes, helping to build housing, setting up IT hardware donations, giving basic HIV/AIDS advice, playing games and football, and sharing music and dancing skills.

All consequent projects, highlighted by our volunteers and constant networking, are aimed at sustainable development for the entire community. We work alongside the Development Education Association to provide continued involvement for all teacher volunteers in development education.
