World Servants wants to make Dutch young people aware of their potential positive influence on their immediate environment. In the projects they see with their own eyes the effect that a (relative) small effort can have on the living conditions of another. We see in many young people that they consciously make different choices in the field of study and lifestyle. In the project countries, World Servants aims to have a sustainable effect, where a community is helped by a concrete construction project a step further in improving living conditions.
World Servants wil Nederlandse jongeren bewust maken van hun mogelijke positieve invloed op hun directe omgeving. In de projecten zien zij met eigen ogen het effect wat een (relatief) kleine inspanning kan hebben op de levensomstandigheden van een ander. We zien bij veel jongeren dat ze na een project bewust andere keuzes maken op het gebied van studie en leefstijl. In de projectlanden beoogt World Servants een duurzaam effect, waar een gemeenschap door middel van een concreet bouwproject een stap verder wordt geholpen in de verbetering van de levensomstandigheden.
