Who We Are
|
|
Vine Trust is an international, interdenominational, volunteering charity which seeks to enable volunteers to make a real and significant difference to some of the poorest children and communities in the world. We welcome people from all backgrounds who share our ethos of caring and our belief that whilst we can’t help everyone we can all help someone. Health Care, Children and Enterprise have been our key priorities as we build the capacity of our local partners to meet local needs. |
Currently our Amazon Hope Project provides a health service for around 100,000 patients per year with further expansion planned in the period ahead.
We have just completed the eighth street children’s centre for our partners SU Peru and are about to commence building up to four homes for street children and orphan children in Northern Tanzania.
Connecting people to change lives is our aim and our goal for both our overseas partners and our volunteers alike. Through our short term volunteer opportunities we seek to create “ambassadors for the poor” who in turn will bring back their experiences in to our communities, schools and workplaces here in the UK.
So if you are looking to do something quite different with your holidays, your senior school pupils or staff development programme do get in touch. Through our Work Teams, Medical Trips and School Expeditions we have extensive experience of sending teams throughout the year to our projects and organising specific opportunities which quite literally can be life changing for all involved.
