Our VISION
Is to break the cycle of cultural phobia and ?profession-culture? biases that hinder global integration, leading to tolerance and better understanding of the similarities and differences amongst cultures.
The MISSION of International Volunteers Network Inc. is two-fold;
Foster the understanding and appreciation of the various cultural interfaces associated with globalization through broad-based inter-cultural exchanges, and volunteerism. Working with local communities to identify areas of mutual cooperation like reducing poverty, diseases and ignorance and professional collaboration.
We are committed to enhancing quality of life in Uganda while preserving indigenous cultures, traditions and ecologies. Our goal is to empower local communities through the volunteer?s skills and financial donations. We believe that local communities are in the best position to determine their needs, and we provide volunteers to help them achieve their goals.
