TABS INTERNATIONAL
We provide opportunities for disadvantaged young people from the UK to volunteer in Christian community development and aid projects in Africa that we also support. We provide a short gap-type experience for the volunteers that encourages the development of their life-skills, widens their knowledge of the world and affords them the chance to give something back through supporting others in need.
