GMV is inspired by the conviction that volunteerism is a powerful means of engaging people in tackling development challenges within Africa.  Everyone can contribute their time, skills and knowledge through volunteer action and their combined efforts can be a significant force for achieving peace and development.

Volunteering is a great way to contribute to the global community and gain experience, and also fosters personal growth.
