Cooperating Volunteers is a social enterprise dedicated to community development through international volunteer experiences. We serve as a bridge for all volunteers seeking culturally immersive experiences and cooperation with communities in developing countries. We collaborate with volunteer organizations in each destination to organize and support participants in various volunteer programs. Our mission is to provide individuals with social and/or environmental awareness the opportunity to engage with communities in need. We have 8 own destinations (Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Senegal, India, Bali, and the Philippines), each with its own local team year-round. These projects encompass education, childcare, construction, environmental, and animal protection initiatives. In September, we launched our own NGO, "Cooperating Volunteers NGO," with the aim of developing and creating more projects in our existing locations. Currently, we have two ongoing projects: installing water tanks in Jiambiani (Zanzibar) and constructing additional classrooms at Brilliant Brains School in Kabarole (Uganda).

Proyecto social que une a donantes, beneficiarios (familias en situaciones de pobreza) y negocios locales. Si alguna vez has querido ayudar pero te ha echado para atrás no saber donde iba tu dinero o no te fiabas, Cirineo es la solución. Cada euro que dones en Cirineo vas a saber donde acaba porque solo se puede gastar en negocios que validan la compra. Cirineo se sostiene con la comisión que cobra al negocio por traerle ingresos adicionales, haciendo así que el 100% de tu donación vaya destinada a las familias. Puesto en un ejemplo: si tú das 10€ al mes para compra de supermercados, las familias reciben un vale de compra en supermercados; el supermercado valida la compra y la familia se abastece de lo que más necesita (nadie lo sabe mejor que ellos), informándote desde Cirineo de todo el detalle. Además, vas a recibir el ticket con el desglose de la compra acompañado de un mensaje de agradecimiento de los beneficiarios aportando así una experiencia total a la hora de donar. ¿Te imaginas donar conociendo a quién ayudas? En Cirineo ya es posible.

Rorshok started in March 2021 as an experiment in international community building. It is a purpose and mission-driven international venture pursuing new ways to help people create real-time and quality connections, with where they live and with each other. We aim to help people and communities build knowledge in a world that has become increasingly filled with excessive information, scrolling, meaningless online interactions, and passive siloed content consumption. Social media platforms can be sources of codependency and anxiety, they keep us scrolling for hours and staring at the screen waiting for likes. Our thoughts and lives are constantly interrupted by notifications, but we still hope for more of those micro-validators. In Rorshok, we want to make sure that the time you spend online is shorter, more direct, useful, and enriching. We are not against technological advances, they are a part of our lives now. In fact, we think they may provide us with very useful tools of communication and connection, but we need to find a way to use them to help ourselves and mitigate their negative aspects. We work on all of our projects with that in mind.

Non profit organization focused on making a positive impact on the lives of children, women and families in need.
