In every country, every day people volunteer. It is part of what makes us human. When people face crises, though, volunteerism comes to the fore.

Week three web version Week three presentation version
- Week four video: The potential of volunteering to help countries meet peace and development goals is huge, says UNV’s Chief of Development Division, Ghulam M. Isaczai. Governments and development practitioners can tap into this potential by better recognizing the power of volunteerism and by creating the conditions for it to grow. For example, in Nepal, a Government programme involving 50,000 volunteers has help reduce maternal mortality by half.
