VMM are an international development and volunteering organisation. Our vision is to help create ‘a world where we live in the shelter of one another’. Our mission is ‘to share who we are and not just what we have’, and we love doing what we do! We have placed thousands of volunteers which has led to astonishing results for communities and for the volunteers themselves. We help volunteers of all ages to step into communities and get stuck into projects of real value to local people and our partnerships are with strong and well-established organisations.

We currently work in nine African countries, playing our part to deliver the aspirations of the international Sustainable Development Goals. We work to help our grass roots partners in Africa take care of the needs that local people tell us are most important to them. Projects tend to cover education, health to community development initiatives and we have partnerships with civic, community and church organisations. VMM are inspired by faith and we maintain an all-inclusive organisation and welcome volunteers from all backgrounds, regardless of religion, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity or politics.
What to know more? Explore our short term opportunities!
The short term programme allows volunteers of all ages to work directly alongside VMM long-term projects. Opportunities exist from 2 weeks to 6 months, in teams or individual placements and internships. Involvement will contribute to development in the overseas host community, as well as broaden the horizons and motivate those involved for continued concern and commitment to support global justice and development issues.
VMM has more than 30 partners in Africa who can assist with the development of short term projects. All project partners have proven good practice in development work with strategic plans, child safeguarding and financial policies in place.
