To promote sustainable development for the benefit of the public by the relief of poverty and the improvement of the conditions of life in socially and disadvantaged communities.
Sustainable development means “development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

Globalteer’s History
Globalteer was founded as a UK non-profit organisation in June 2006 and quickly achieved full charity status by June 2007. We are fully accredited by the Charities Commission of England and Wales.
Globalteer recognised that overseas NGO’s could gain a great deal from the volunteer support, access to international funding and the additional skills that we provide.
Project Support
Globalteer has three distinct types of overseas project partnerships: -
- Partnership with an established local NGO, providing volunteer support, financial assistance and additional skills such as education, healthcare, accounting, web design and child protection.
- Partnership with a new NGO, providing initial finances for building facilities for the project’s operations such as a school or orphanage. Ongoing volunteer support, financial assistance and additional skills such as education, healthcare, accounting, web design and child protection.
- Globalteer established projects in locations where no other community support exists and a need has been identified. This type of project would be fully funded and supported by Globalteer from the beginning.
The support provided varies from project to project but can include: -
- Building expenses
- Food and nutritional needs
- Educational materials
- Activity materials, arts, day trips
- Local staff wages
- Sports programmes
- Local transportation
- Training
- Healthcare
- Land / building rental costs
- Electricity and other utilities
Each project is different in what they require from Globalteer, we listen to their needs. Some projects will require large numbers of volunteers whilst others will require additional funding sources. Some will require Globalteer’s assistance in education or child protection others in accounting or web design.
Wildlife projects generally act independently with large cash donations from Globalteer to be able to build their own enclosures, feed the animals and provide their own veterinary care.
