"Prior to discovering the services of AfID, the only volunteering opportunities I had heard of in developing countries was if you wanted to go teach English, build schools or provide medical services."  Read more

"Through AfID, finance professionals now have an opportunity to work in grassroots organisations in developing countries and make a small difference using their financial skills. Neil and his team are friendly, efficient and reassuring when fear and doubt eventually kick in about one's ability to make a difference. Having done similar assignments himself, AfID knows exactly the issues that worry potential volunteers and can provide impartial advice on how best to proceed. AfID comes highly recommended."

"The work they do is terrific; firstly the charity partners internationally gain hugely from the professional financial input. It often enables them to become more sustainable and to deliver the services they provide more effectively. Secondly, the volunteers benefit enormously from the experience - virtually always it is a great experience that can sometimes be life changing."
