History of the Peace Villages Foundation Int.

In the 1990s Manfred Monnighoff, a German entrepreneur developed the Peace Villages Foundation Int., the first known Non-Profit Franchise Concept. For this Monnighoff left his successful business career in Holland behind to become a social activist. He joined grassroots NGO’s around the globe and worked as a volunteer with the intention of helping to create and promote a «Culture of Peace». Learning to put his entrepreneurial skills to work and gaining important NGO management experience, enabled him to set up replicable and self-sustained aid programs under the legal frame of Fundación Aldeas de Paz, 2001 in Venezuela and later 2015 in the Dominican Republic. International Volunteers contribute through a combination of practical work and financial donations. The financial base for all international operations is based on a rotational credit system (RCS) and volunteer donations. Volunteer donations received by the Peace Villages Foundation are colocated independently of the volunteers placement location to programs in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela.

The Concept of the Peace Villages Foundation

We operate in Central and South America independenly from political, religious or business interests and maintain independence by completely funding and operating our programs with the practical and monetary contributions of volunteers and interns who participate in programs located in the Samana province of the Dominican Republic and hopefully soon again in Venezuela after the reopening scheduled for 2017/18.

OUR ORIGINAL MISSION:

Peace Villages promotes a Culture of Peace through enriching cross-cultural exchange for people of all races and nationalities and we practice voluntary community service where we provide additional opportunities in education, sports, health care and skill training. We assist our beneficiaries to develop their potential and improve their own lives.

OUR LONGTERM VISION:

Peace Villages offers Volunteers & Interns the great opportunity to work side by side with locals, learn new skills, study Spanish and immerse oneself in the Latin and Caribbean culture. We share the values of peace, justice and tolerance, fundamentally focusing on the preservation of cultural values and the empowerment of young people while valuing local knowledge and working with cultural sensitivity. Our Volunteer opportunities are truly the microcosm of a world where people join together giving priority to improving life for humanity and promoting a Culture of Peace as a practical way to both prevent and resolve conflict.

WE BELIEVE

in cultural exchange between locals and volunteers and we seek to promote peace and human rights. We foster & empower young people and believe in equal opportunities. We represent Aldeas de Paz, a sustainable grassroots NGO, located in Santa Barbara de Samana and Las Terrenas, two charming coastal villages in the north-east of the Dominican Republic.

OUR VOLUNTEERS

We also serve those serving others: Our Volunteers! We give volunteers and Interns the opportunity to make a difference in the local community, while meeting people, learning Spanish and enjoying the breathtaking landscapes of the Dominican Republic. Our Volunteers hopefully become role models for change worldwide.

OUR WORK

We are run exclusively by the donations and efforts of our Volunteers and Interns. We support local youth and their families, we seek to raise public awareness about pressing matters and promote a culture of Peace. Volunteering with us makes a real difference and is extremely rewarding for our volunteers and interns.
