What is Volunteering?

We want to live in a successful country. And a country is defined by its people. When everyone cares about their surroundings and solves problems that concern them, the country develops.

Volunteers are ordinary people who invest their time, talent, or resources in the implementation of socially useful projects.
Everyone can do good deeds: children, adults, people with special needs, companies, agencies, and even entire countries.

Even one good deed can change society, the country, and the world for the better.

Today, volunteer organizations exist in 80 countries. About 110 million people annually participate in voluntary programs where they help in the areas of education, healthcare, environment, social protection and many others.
