Development Through Action is a non-profit organisation that aims to promote development through practical projects in poor communities in various places around the world. We offer free English education from our DTA schools, which also act as our project bases. From there, we work with local communities to decide what project each month will aid development. We aim to develop poorer communities through free English Education and monthly development projects. After setting up an English school as our 'base' in a willing community, we set out to work with them in providing solutions to conditions of poverty and create sustainable models of development. DTA offers unique opportunities for volunteers who wish to help in our projects. As we believe that effective and sustainable development comes from working with the specific needs of a community, we allocate a large amount of trust to our volunteers in making the right decisions for them. We ask our volunteers to work with the community in deciding how best help is given. |

Students at the University of Gloucestershire are answering a call from a county charity to help make a difference to other young lives. The charity offers £20 a session, for one or two hours a week, and asks for a year’s commitment to the Infobuzz project which aims to reduce social exclusion and build resilience in vulnerable children and young people aged from nine to 17. The project uses activities to help mentees build positive relationships with adults and peers, as well as interests and skills that can be sustained in the longer term. In some placements, short and long term targets are set and closely monitored and these are linked into reward events and activities. If you’d like to find out more about how to get involved, please contact admin@infobuzz.co.uk |
