There are several ways to help Fidesco from where you are:

Support a volunteer

The budget for one volunteer is on average $22,000 per year.  30% of this amount is allocated to insurance so that volunteers are safe and have a comprehensive health care plan. The rest is divided between the cost of training, living and transportation and the costs associated with the support of the volunteers while they serve on the projects. A gift of $5,000 will cover all the costs associated to training and support on the ground for one volunteer, $1,200 will cover all travel expenses for one volunteer, $300 will cover one month of food and stipend for one volunteer.

Support a project
By sending its skilled volunteers, FIDESCO provides an essential support to its local partners who work in underserved communities. FIDESCO strives to leverage this support by finding funds earmarked to projects that are crucial for the future of the local partners. FIDESCO receives many requests for support and performs a due diligence through its volunteers on the ground and the FIDESCO representative offices’ staff before selecting them in its portofolio of “projects in need of funding”. This portofolio currently includes asks for funds for:
-    A van to be used by the volunteers who serve the communities that live in trailer camps in Gainesville, GA (cost = $15,000)
-    The construction of kitchen facilities for an organization dedicated to the professional training of women in a very poor neighborhood of Salvador de Bahia, Brazil (cost = $25,000),
-    The renovation of a dispensary in Guinea staffed by FIDESCO volunteers that treats over 400 patients a day (cost = $150,000)
-    The creation of a healthcare facility for communities that live on a garbage dump in Lima, Peru and its staffing (cost = $1,5M)
