Welcome to CARE-Venture International’s Website!

CARE-Venture International (CVI) main operation is now located in Yunnan Province, China.

We are a fully voluntary non-profit NGO which exists to assist poverty-stricken communities to become sustainable. Our program involves both Urban and Rural Outreach.

Most NGOs charges a percentage of donation ranging from 6% to over 10% for administrative charges before the money goes to the beneficiary. However, with CVI we ensure almost 99% goes to the beneficiary.

This is because CVI does not employ any staff and we requires all our partners to be volunteers who will need to pay their own expenses for any involvement in our program. We adopted a non-salary approach because we believe that anyone who really wants to live a life of meaning needs to be a volunteer.

We also encourage those who wants to serve as Community workers full-time to raise their own support. We see raising support as Friends Raising instead of asking for money. A person who cannot get their friends to support them in doing their community work basically shows that the person has not much influence with their friends concerning their community involvement or maybe this person has never involve in community work and wanted to jump into it without even volunteering their services in the past.

So you can see that CVI is very different from many other NGOs!

Not only do we ensure 99% of fund go to the beneficiary, we also train other volunteers, NGOs and institutions on Volunteerism program and community development. We do this to promote more collaboration between organizations so that duplication is minimized and the strategic sharing of resources.

CVI’s program is also very interesting because we always use a Low Budget - High Influence approach in all our projects. If you browse through our website, you will see many examples of how we achieved these.

So sign-up today as our Partner and be updated about our activities and we invite your involvement!

Peace and grace
