Nurture Africa has attained the highest level of compliance 

for the Code of Good Practice for Volunteer Sending Agencies

Comhlámh Code of Good Practice for Volunteer Sending Agencies

 

Nurture Africa is a proud signatory to the Comhlámh Code of Good Practice for Volunteer Sending Agencies.

 

Comhlámh’s Code of Good Practice is a set of standards for Irish Volunteer Sending Agencies facilitating international placements.

The Code is based on a vision of volunteers working in solidarity for a just, equitable and sustainable world. It promotes responsible and responsive volunteering to ensure a positive impact for the overseas project and community, the volunteer and the sending agency.
The Code promotes development education, which enables people to more deeply understand the world around us and to address the root causes

of inequality and poverty.
Every Volunteer Sending Agency, which is party to the Code of Good Practice, commits to the implementation of the Code’s five values that

underpin the work of international volunteer programmes. These are:

• Solidarity 

• Respect 

• Social Justice 

• Ecological Sustainability

• Integrity
