WELCOME!

The HVO Knowledge Network is a source of information. The site serves to prepare volunteers for their work overseas and provide essential project information to HVO leadership. The site is also a source of education and teaching materials for our overseas partners.

Access to the HVO KnowNET is a benefit available to active members of HVO and health care professionals at HVO project sites. To check your HVO membership status or to gain access to the HVO KnowNET, email the HVO office or call (202) 296-0928.

Since 1987, HVO has been committed to improving the quality and availability of health care providers in resource-scarce countries. The support of HVO donors, members, and partners leads to the training of local providers - students, residents, licensed clinicians, technicians, faculty, etc. - as well as the recruitment of expert health care volunteers and the development, maintenance and monitoring of projects around the world. Impact information is based on data provided on post-trip Volunteer Feedback Surveys and annual reports from HVO Project Directors and On-Site Coordinators.

*There were 102 projects open at some point during the 2015 calendar year. As of Dec 31, 2015 this number was 87.
