BACKGROUND

Millions of Africans lack fundamental knowledge, skills, and services related to Health, Agriculture, STEM, Entrepreneurship, "Good Governance and the Rule of Law, due to the fact that they cannot afford to pay for such services. Thereby, significantly contributing to poor economic growth, food scarcity, rise in maternal and infant mortality, human rights violations, and underdevelopment as a whole.

​

On this note, the Pan-African Volunteers' Network brings together experts from different socio-economic, cultural, political, and academic backgrounds in Project Management, Governance, Environmental Management, Agriculture, Health, Climate Change, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), Innovation and Entrepreneurship, who are willing to render voluntary services to the less-privileged.

​

This is driven by the love for humanity, the spirit of Pan-Africanism and the idea of re-building "the Africa we want" through voluntary community services, advocacy, and humanitarian supports to specifically widows, orphans, physically challenged individuals, youths, women, children, farmers, and the general populace in remote communities.

​

PAVNET which is founded in 2020, draws its strength from team, diversity, multiculturalism and transnationalism. It consists of scholars from the 54 African countries of Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda, Sudan, Kenya, Ivory Coast, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Burkina Faso, Gambia, Malawi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Senegal, Mali, Guinea Bissau, Guinea Conakry, Cameroon, Chad, Central Africa Republic, Liberia, Benin, and host of others.

​

We offer a platform for volunteers to connect with organizations and communities in need of their skills and expertise. Through our volunteering opportunities, we aim to create positive impacts on the lives of those we serve and contribute to sustainable development in Africa. Our volunteers have made significant impacts in the lives of the less privileged., as we strongly believe that "the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
