Nexos Voluntarios (NeVo) is a nonprofit organization that promotes social development in Peru through impact-driven projects that are designed to be sustainable, effective and customized to meet the needs of local communities.  We rely on the support of volunteers from around the world to help us change the quality of life for some of Peru’s poorest populations.

Our volunteers are a very diverse group in their ages, skills, education, interests, and nationalities.  What they all have in common is a desire to work hard for the benefit of others, to learn about a new culture and language, and to commit to challenging responsibilities in serious projects.  We differ from other volunteer organizations because we make sure that our volunteers have the necessary freedom and support from local professionals to make a real impact and lasting changes on the lives of those Peruvians that need it most.  Our goal is for our volunteers to not just be temporary visitors that bring temporary changes, but rather to be the agents of long-term transformation in this country.

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.
