2WAY DEVELOPMENT 2Way Development is an international volunteer agency that links individual volunteers with development organizations around the world. 2Way Development has partnerships with over 100 organizations in Africa, Asia and Latin America. All our partners are locally registered NGOs, charities or social enterprises working towards poverty reduction, environmental protection or social justice. 2Way Development is about an equal exchange of ideas, skills and benefits between volunteers and local communities overseas. 2Way Development ensures that every volunteer placement is personally tailored to match a volunteer’s abilities to the needs of its partners For more information visit: http://2waydevelopment.com JUBILEE ACTION Jubilee Action funds and advises expert partners working on the ground to help the world’s most vulnerable children. Their projects reach children who would otherwise be forgotten – those who have slipped under the radar of public notice. Our grassroots experience also provides us with the facts, first-hand evidence and expertise to campaign on behalf of the children we are working to protect. Our aim is to persuade the UK government and the international community to take effective action to hold countries that violate children’s rights to account. We do this by campaigning in the media, organizing influential events and debates, issuing research and briefing politicians and opinion formers at a UK, EU and UN level.

We help the forgotten survivors of African conflicts who have been left behind by the world after the fighting stops and the disaster relief moves on. We listen to what communities tell us, so we can offer them sustained support for their multiple needs. In doing so, our vision is that communities whose social and economic fabric has been torn apart by conflict and genocide can overcome the paralysis of trauma, rebuilding their lives with access to education, health and the means to support themselves. We provide training in specialised trauma
counselling so survivors can tackle the long-term psychological consequences
that often block their communities’ recovery. We currently have projects in
northern Uganda and Rwanda and have enjoyed a valued partnership with FCYF since 2008 For more information visit: http://www.network4africa.org | LIFELINE ENERGY Tackling Energy Poverty Working primarily in sub-Saharan Africa, through and in partnership with governments, international organisations, NGOs and local communities, Lifeline Energy seeks to advance economic progress, promote community development and to help eradicate disease, famine and conflict.
