Join the Voluntariat, or volunteer corps : It is made up of 400 men and women from a wide variety of social and cultural backgrounds. “The poverty I experienced in my village in Guatemala gave me the courage to give some years of my life to the poor. Without the Movement, I would never have taken the steps to search for the poorest, those who are hidden away.” Rosa, Guatemala. Apply for a place at one of our international summer work camps.

Regular gifts are extremely valuable. There is no 'quick fix' solution to the problems that people living in extreme poverty face. That is why year-round support is so important. A regular gift gives ATD Fourth World a secure and reliable income, which means that we can plan long-term projects cost-effectively.

Making a company donation is a simple way to make a lasting difference for those who need it most. Why not consider putting ATD Fourth World forward as your charity of the year?
