ABSV Burundi

Alliance Burundaise pour le Service Volontaire is the brand new partner organisation of VAP in Burundi.

ABSV was created in 2007 by two local non-profit national organisations with the aim of making an effort together and of doing good work for the communities in the world.

ABSV plans to work in three areas: peace education, where we are trying to bring young people together for exchange programmes; environmental protection, where we work together with the communities to clean areas and plant trees; and we are trying also to bring displaced persons from different camps for rehabilitation.

We aim to provide quality education to orphans and vulnerable children and for a youth exchange programme where they can share different experiences and we also do voluntary work, helping the communities.

ABSV has relations with the Eastern Africa Workcamp Association network and is a corresponding member of the Coordinating Committee for International Voluntary Service based at Paris.

In 2012 VAP has:
member of:
Volunteer Action for Peace, member of the Co-ordinating Committee for International Voluntary Service Volunteer Action for Peace, member of the Volunteer International Network Exchange UK
with the support of:
Volunteer Action for Peace, member of the European «Youth in Action» Programme

Quote of the day

« The organisation of the camp community was fantastic! The group was great and we bonded quickly, language was always going to be a tricky one, but everyone attempted English and Indonesian so it made the whole experience fun and educational. »
