Mission
Nexos Voluntarios (NeVo) promotes social development in Peru through impact-driven voluntary activity in projects related to public health, education, human rights, the environment, and business and development, that involve the participation of a range of social agents (universities, companies, multilaterals, students and professionals) ensuring volunteers have an integral and well-supported experience of social immersion.
Concept
Nexos Voluntarios offers a comprehensive and personalized program; matching the specific interests of volunteers with non-profit development projects. Volunteers receive full field support as well as mentoring from corporate and academic leaders, peer cooperation from a local volunteer and/or direct advice from NeVo professionals. It is simply a unique experience where volunteers learn and help while having fun!
History
NeVo was founded by two Peruvian professionals, Ximena Querol and Carolina Benavides, who inspired by their own experience as volunteers decided to create a program to promote effective voluntary work in their home country. Nexos Voluntarios is now a renowned organization which has received volunteers from ten countries and has participated in thirty projects in Peru.
Vision
NeVo plans to leave Urubamba a better place for its residents to live, with an improved quality of life, increased opportunities for self realization, and the tools it needs to continue growing on its own, at which point the organization plans to begin helping other areas in need of development support.
