Mission Statement: More than a billion people on Earth live in absolute poverty. Eighty percent of the world's population receives just twenty percent of the total income. This inequality has consequences for us all. It is unacceptable and calls for action. At IICD we organize with local people in developing countries and work side by side with them to develop their communities. We bring back inspiring news about the lives of the world's citizens to share with people in North America. Program description: IICD offers 6-19 month programs to do community development work in Africa, Central America or Brazil. Volunteers spend a preparation period in the US - time that is used for learning the language, history and culture of the destination country, fundraising and engaging in other practical activities. The international period has the volunteers working directly with people from the destination country on any of a number of development projects. A third period, back in the US, gives volunteers the opportunity to make educational presentations and products based on experiences had while abroad. There is a program fee, which covers all basic expenses for the duration of the program.

The project has been developed with financial support from the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD).
