Projects and Volunteers

We work in developing countries in Africa, South America and South East Asia such as Kenya, Senegal, Philippines, Mozambique, Vietnam, Nigeria, Nepal, Ecuador and Bangladesh.

The main sectors we develop are tool, component and machinery production, agriculture and food processing, medical supplies assembly and distribution, repair and service and small-scale consumer goods manufacturing such as textiles, clothing, furniture, batteries, soap and children's goods. We believe that the only way to improve the long-term quality of life in developing countries is for locally owned businesses to become self-sufficient in the development and manufacture of these necessities.
