Our Members

We believe in volunteering whenever possible while we recognize the need to pay stipends for volunteers who experience financial difficulties and to employ people to ensure the smooth and sustainable running of the projects. 50 plus volunteer members are currently active, including therapists, a homoeopath, a doctor, a nurse, a midwife, nutrition advisors, massage trainers and trainees, educare teachers, assistants and trainees, dancers, artists, tutors, translators, field workers, a receptionist and administrative volunteer staff.

Early on we recognized the potential for building capacity in members of the communities we serve. We are currently training three educare teachers, 7 field workers and 14 women in the healing art of massage.

We are planning to employ our project managers and trainers in the future in order to make it possible to increase commitment levels as well as to make the transition from pioneer initiative to sustainable project.

Management Committee

People with knowledge and understanding of the community make management decisions and provide vital links to the community. The Management Committee takes all important management decisions and is responsible for the day-to-day running of the organization.

Work for Love is governed by a constitution. The final and overall responsibility for the organization and its policy decisions rests with the Work for Love Management Team:
