Reach Out Volunteers believed people can change the world, one village at a time. Working hand-in-hand with its partner ROV Charity, they ensured that all projects were developed by the local community and create long-term sustainable benefit. If they could help a homeless family by building them a home we will have made a difference to that family.
If they did this with enough families they would be able to help that community. If they did this with enough communities we will help that country, and eventually, change the world. But they started by working with one village at a time. Volunteers assisted in providing food, water, education, sanitation and shelter to deprived communities. Volunteers helped in protecting endangered species of animals around the world by tracking, monitoring, feeding, and building safe and vegetated habitats.
The Reach Out Volunteers Charity worked on projects to reduce the level of poverty in rural communities. The ROV Charity provided employment to local trades people, it purchased its building materials and supplies from local people. It built water catchments in rural Cambodian communities to supply clean drinking water year round. This was critical in lowering infant mortality. In Peru the ROV Charity helped install ventilated cooking stoves to reduce smoke pollution in homes which was the main cause of the high levels of cancer and asthma in villagers homes.
Reach Out Volunteers endeavoured at all times to ensure work environments were as safe as possible. The Directors of Reach Out Volunteers personally inspected each program to ensure that the highest possible levels of health and safety were met.
