the basis is education and creating employment

Intervolve develops and implements its own programmes and projects in cooperation with others and thanks to contributions of sponsors and donors. Intervolve also accepts consultancy assignments from third parties. Our specialism is in the field of urban areas, both in developing and developed countries.

Own programmes and projects
Our method is characterised by its simultaneous (integrated) approach to the local social, economic and housing problems, while also paying heed to the health and environmental aspects. The reason: It is only really worthwhile building new housing in slum areas if steps are also taken to perceptibly improve the residents’ income, employment opportunities and living conditions. We therefore invariably seek the connection between practical measures and sustainable solutions. Link to our projects.

As they are developed in close consultation with (inter)national experts and local communities, Intervolve programmes comprise methodical projects in the following fields of intervention:

 

1.Economic development and employment

vocational education, promoting employment and entrepreneurship

 

2.Housing and living environment

construction and renovation, establishing housing corporations, furnishing public space

 

3.Health and the environment

health education, prevention and care, raising environmental awareness

 

4.Social cohesion and development

creating and reinforcing social structures, promoting self-organisation

 

Result: local support, participation, substantial degree of independence and sustainable improvement of the living conditions.
