Review

My third project with GVI. The previous two in 2020/2021 were reviewed then and I gave them 4* - one star deducted because dealings with head office were frustrating and tricky, but the projects themselves were excellent.

As a returning customer, I must say that head office / sales were effortless to deal with and looked after me well; the project was excellent as well. Most importantly, they are aware of (and continuing evaluating) the murky ethics of international development and I left content that I had contributed both in good faith and in a non-maleficent way. The decision to do this kind of work abroad is one that future customers should think seriously about, but if the decision is made, GVI are doing it as well as anyone out there, as far as I can tell.

The staff do everything they can to help you stay safe but the truth is that if you appear as an outsider, there will always be a vulnerability, so follow their rules and be vigilant… ans you’ll have a great time.

Would you recommend this program?
