ZWA Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe Workcamps Association is the partner organisation of VAP in Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe Workcamps Association is a youth volunteer organization founded in October 1993. It is a non political, non sectarian, non religious, voluntary organization. Its membership is open to anyone above the age of sixteen years irrespective of nationality, gender, race, religion, political view or educational qualification. Zimbabwe Workcamps Association employs international voluntary service as a double edged sword to attacck both education and community development.
Workcamps are proven developmental techniques aimed at encouraging local communities to do self-help projects, through the use of scarcely available resources in the raising of their socio-economic, cultural and physical standards of living.
It strives to:
* Assist with community development.
* Encourage the concept of voluntary service as a force in the search for peace, equality and international understanding.
* Enable young people to encounter and understand different cultures.
* Organize and run voluntary workcamps in Zimbabwe and in the region either independently or in collaboration with other voluntary organization or government departments.
* Promote peace, democracy, social justice, volunteerism and exchange of information, skills and best shared practices.
After a period of serious economic and politcal crisis and after the sad loss of its founder, Innocent Katsiga, ZWA has survived and hopes to welcome more volunteers to Zimbabwe.
