 Touch-Humanity International Voluntary Services (THIVS) offers great opportunities for University and College Students alike. The Student Zone are pleased to support THIVS by ensuring the international community of students are aware of gap year, summer and after degree opportunities to support and learn volunteering on workcamps in both in Kenya, Uganda and Sudan.
The THIVS is a Kenya-based non-profit organization founded in October 2001 to alleviate human suffering socially, psychologically and economically by promoting volunteering as a powerful force for change, both for those who volunteer and for the wider community.
 The founder members had a common desire to join forces and take steps to touch the souls of the needy, troubled and suffering people in community through humanitarian services. But in 2003 THIVS developed an international voluntary sectors programme and a policy framework to help execute its mandate.
Today, THIVS has established international partnership and collaborates with more than 40 local community development projects and institutions. The projects are located in the rural villages and semi-urban areas where the level of awareness is still low, resources limited and abject poverty widespread.
To develop programmes gets participants to travel, work with local people - stimulating and motivating them in daily efforts to confront and overcome challenges to attain un-met needs.
The THIVS international programmes are based on concepts of working holiday, cultural immersion, volunteering, field study, community support and travel adventure.
