Global Vision International
- Global Vision International
Global Vision International (GVI) is a private volunteer travel organisation that places groups and individuals on volunteer projects around the world. They facilitate volunteering projects, conservation research expeditions, internships and teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) courses.
The company was founded in 1998 by Richard Walton to provide support to the bay islands of Honduras who had suffered during Hurricane Mitch. 300 people applied to volunteer abroad making it a huge success. Since then it has become one of the largest volunteer travel organisations in the world employing over 100 people with offices in the UK, US and Australia.
In 2003 GVI set up its careers abroad service for those wanting travel and to make a career out of helping others. The following year GVI set up the Global Vision International Charitable Trust which works on various conservation and humanitarian initiatives worldwide.
Over 150 critical conservation and humanitarian projects worldwide now rely on Global Vision International (GVI) for volunteers, promotion and direct funding. GVI offers projects that make an in-country difference, only working on long-term sustainable projects, set up in conjunction with local organisations. All benefits of the project remain in-country and nationals are trained for free in the skills we teach our volunteers. GVI actively promotes sustainable development through environment research, conservation and education.
