Volunteer in Portugese Permaculture project and help restore the local ecosystem after catastrophic wildfires
At permaculture project Quinta do Vale a lot of work can be done. For years they have been creating their own small scale permaculture area in a Portugese valley. Through education and training they also try to have impact on a greater amount of people. But in 2017 great wildfires destroyed a large part of the valley and also a part of their permaculture property. The upside of the fires could be that locals might open up for a more sustainble land use. Taking good care of the land could have helped reducing the impact of the 2017 fires. As a volunteer you are very welcome to help them reforest the area. Get in contact through their website for updates on the volunteer needs.
They now welcome (quoted from their website):
- If you want to just rock up in a campervan or with a tent and stay a couple of nights, you’re welcome.
- If you’re just looking for a park-up while you do other things in the area, you’re welcome.
- If you want to stay from a week to a month or two, volunteer some work and learn everything you can, you’re welcome.
- If you’re particularly interested in doing some natural building repairs and reconstruction, you’re welcome.
- If you have DIY skills or a trade and fancy coming to spend a summer helping us and the rest of the community, you’re welcome and we will all love you forever.
- If you want to come and download all the accumulated knowledge and experience that’s in my head from nearly a decade living off grid, you’re welcome to do that too.

Rwanda Village Concept Project (RVCP) is a non-governmental, non-political, voluntary organisation run by students at the University of Rwanda (UR). The mission of RVCP is to improve health and living standards of the underprivileged communities.
The students that run this organisation are very welcoming to international visiters who are interested in humanitarian work and want to truly experience the Rwandan culture. Working with students and (local) volunteers is a key part of the foundation upon which RVCP was built, as it strives to increase awareness and develop students’ problem solving skills, aptitude for fieldwork and project planning abilities. They also work with partner organisations based all over the world including Britain, American, Germany, Sweden and Denmark.
RVCP has various projects that have been set-up and organised by Rwandan student themselves. They currently run 6 programs (but are always coming up with new creative ideas and programs):
- Hygiene, Water and Sanitation program
- Maternal health program program.
- Initiative program
- HIV/AIDS prevention program
- Gender Empowerment (a.k.a. Pyramid) program
