Since 2007, A Broader View Volunteers Corp (ABV), a US-registered 501(c)(3) non-religious nonprofit organization, has raised and donated over $4.5 million to overseas community partners across 33 countries. Together with thousands of dedicated volunteers, we construct facilities, renovate orphanages, install clean water tanks, and deliver vital rural medical care.

We have seen firsthand the impact ABV volunteers make in the communities where they are serving. Volunteers have contributed their time and skills to fix classroom desks, paint walls which would have remained bleak and gray, cleared fields for harvesting and cook meals for hungry children, and read stories to kindergarteners. Some ABV volunteers have decided to sponsor a child they bonded within a program, and other volunteers have come home and championed their project to raise money and awareness to the plights of the children they worked with.
Direct Financial Aid ($4.5M+): Over $4.5 million raised and distributed directly to international partner projects since 2007 to fund local humanitarian operations.
Infrastructure & Clean Water: Donations and hands-on volunteer labor construct community buildings, renovate orphanages, repair classroom furniture, and install clean water tanks.
Rural Healthcare & Child Support: Volunteers assist with childbirth, conduct home medical visits for underserved patients, harvest crops, and prepare daily meals for children.
Lasting Alumni Leadership: Inspired by their fieldwork, returning ABV alumni regularly sponsor children, lead fundraising drives, join the Peace Corps, and enter medical school.
ABV volunteers have delivered babies and treated patients in their own homes who would never have had medical attention otherwise. Many volunteers come home completely inspired by the work they did with ABV. In fact, we've had volunteers join the Peace Corps, enroll in medical school, and many who have changed school majors or careers, all as a result of the life-changing experiences they had with the ABV program.

What has A Broader View Volunteers accomplished since 2007?

How are volunteer donations and program fees used overseas?
As an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) public charity, ABV channels funds directly to vetted local partner organizations. Contributions pay for building construction, orphanage renovations, clean water storage tanks, medical supplies for rural clinics, and daily food and clothing for disadvantaged children.
How does volunteering with ABV impact participants long-term?
First-hand humanitarian service frequently shapes the personal and professional trajectories of our returnees. Following their placements, many ABV alumni continue sponsoring communities from home, organize independent awareness campaigns, join the Peace Corps, or enroll in medical and nursing programs.
