The GBO is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping orphans and vulnerable children in
Central Africa and beyond, grow up in healthy, nurturing environments that provide quality
care, protection, education, and support. They do this by assisting the families,
communities, organizations and departments charged with their care.
Volunteers work alongside local professionals. Intern-student-volunteers observe and assist
in the work of the local professionals and serve under the supervision of the professionals.
People without special skills, professional qualifications or previous experience can also
volunteer in some of their programs in Africa.
