THIVS Programmes

THIVS runs four main international programmes that are today uniting the world communities.

1. International Workcamps
This is a special and unique form of voluntary service, which brings together people from different countries to live and work on short-term projects that will be of benefit to a local community. An international workcamp bring together people from different countries, cultures and backgrounds to live and work on short-term projects that will be of benefit to a local community or voluntary group.  The workcamp is an open-ended experience and depends mainly on the input of its participants. We offer one, two or three weeks never-ending international workcamps exchange placement in different projects and field of interest every month of the year. THIVS workcamps aims to help young people from many countries to actively work together towards a common target. In organizing international workcamps, we see a possibility for the adventure-seeking people to share and exchange ideas, experiences, to learn about other social, political and cultural living conditions and create friendship. The camps consist of young people from the age of 16 to 35 years (though sometime adults apply to participate) all with diverse backgrounds and interests. The nature of workcamps includes children care, construction, environment, emergency disasters, wildlife conservation, medical and health care, teaching, human rights and social justice, dental service, public health, disaster operations, disability support, youth empowerment, water harvesting, farming and income-generating schemes. I want this one! 

2. Voluntary Projects
THIVS also organizes International Voluntary Projects - Mid-Term Volunteer (MTV) 1 - 6 Months and Long Term Volunteer (LTV) 6 to 12 months opportunity for professionals or dedicated Volunteers wishing to have a longer experience abroad. This allows for continues and/or specialized work which gives one a long opportunity for valuable learning, integration and truly enjoy local life. Our programs give participant a chance to easily integrate with host community, exchange traditional practices while enjoying an enriching cultural diversity while working on a common goal and simultaneously providing a real service. You will make close contact with foreign people, live and experience new traditions and customs. The nature of THIVS MLTV voluntary projects includes orphans care, construction, environment, disasters relief, wildlife conservation, medical and health care, teaching, human rights and social justice, dental service, public health, disability support, youth empowerment, water harvest, farming and income-generating schemes. Check Placements.

3. Adventure Travel
This career breaks opportunity which allows one to escape from normal work and explore a new experience through wonderful expeditions abroad. It’s open to everyone who wants to enjoy the jewel of vast wildlife, pristine beaches, souring mountain peaks and diverse culture. It offers perfect destinations for dream holiday adventure, relaxation, culture, sport and wild discovery partnered safaris. The magic spirit of the Africa expedition is to find yourself relaxing by campfire, watching the sunset turn the sky to gold as distant roar of a lion brings the day to a perfect end. You will also aid in a mercy mission for a child in need. See holiday opportunities.

4. Orphans Sponsorship
The idea is to alleviate suffering and give hope to needy orphaned children by mobilising materials and money donations for them through our supportive global networks. Failure to help these beautiful kids in orphanages will force them escape back to the urban streets where they scavenge for food, sleep in cold, catch diseases, harassed by security agents, suffer loneliness, abuse drugs and stare into the future with no hope in life. I wish to give them a little gift!

B. Project Situation/Life
i). The international volunteer may stay within the camp or with a host family nearby.
ii). The work (mostly 7-10 hours) daily from Monday to Friday (weekends are free to relax and tour sites
     of great attraction) encourages people to mingle, get to know each other while working on a common goal.
iii).A participant can request to switch camp or project on request from THIVS management.
iv).While at the project, a participant live in simple accommodation, eats the local foods.
v). The number of work-campers is unlimited – mostly 1 to 25 people
vi).You will take part in cultural ceremonies and be given a ‘local name’ as new member of the community!

C. Options 101
The participant is placed in workcamp, voluntary project or safari destination based on; how they will most successfully contribute to their host community, the nature of their interests, skills and expertise. By joining any of our programme, you become an agent of positive change in the lives of others and yourself - while using your efforts and resources to make a real difference. The location and time of the projects and safari destinations may changes depending on the community needs around the year.

The programme ideas are flexible, cheap and our participants find the arrangement quite convenient and fulfilling.
