CIVS (Center for International Voluntary Service), founded in 1993, is a non-profit agency, without political or religious affiliation. We are full members of large network of similar organizations worldwide called Coordinating Committee for International Voluntary Service (CCIVS),  of which our goal is to work towards a more peaceful world through the promotion of International Voluntary Service (IVS).
 
Our goals are…
• …to reach poor people with appropriate high quality financial, investment and enterprise services on a sustainable basis.

• …to enhance cultural exchange, by organising a three-week workcamp every month and medium term projects for volunteers who want to stay more than one month, through  IVS (International Voluntary Service).
 
We try to accomplish these goals through…
• …successfully facilitating the establishment of our microfinance approach - BIG (Bengi Investment Group).
