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 for Volunteer Sending Agencies (VSAs) is a set of values-led principles that provides organisations with a framework to reflect on, adapt, and deepen their international volunteering practice. Since its launch almost 20 years ago, it has been rooted in a strong community of practice, with members continually engaged in a process of revision that connects the Code to evolving local and global contexts.
 

The Code is structured upon five fundamental values: Solidarity, Social Justice, Ecological Sustainability, Respect, and Integrity. As with all signatories, Nurture Africa is encouraged to consider where these may be present in our work, and to explore how we can further strengthen our practice. Each value is accompanied by a set of principles and indicators that provide guidance for the development and implementation of volunteer-sending programmes.​
