PROFILE
VILLAGE VOLUNTARY VENTURE

Background:
Village Voluntary Venture is a local non profit making organization which was initiated in 1992 with the initial purpose to promote appropriate technology in the rural community, participatory research, training and development. It was initiated by a group of 30 community based volunteers living and working in a cultural set up of Jonam community in Pakwach, Nebbi District. The initial volunteers had a background of having been active members of Uganda Scout Association in their former primary schools and were now living in the villages but with the interest of promoting voluntary ventures in the community, thus the name village voluntary venture was adopted.
