The International HUMANA People to People movement is currently running over 150 projects in Africa, Central America and Asia, involving more than 500.000 people.

Since the very foundation of Humana People to People, the Development Instructor Program has played an important role in the development of the movement. More than 4,000 Development Instructors have implemented the work over the last 23 years.

The Development Instructor is a person who believes in the fact that individuals can make a difference - if they join hands in their endeavour to fulfil their dreams.

As the world develops and mankind is able to go into the far corners of space to search for extraterrestrial life, our dreams of making the Earth a prosperous and a better place for all of its creatures could very well be a goal within reach. However there is still a long way to go.

Looking at the world today, we find the gap between rich and poor widening, hundreds of millions of people are still living under unworthy and inhuman conditions, human rights are being roughly neglected in some places of the world.

In order to contribute to the improvement of the conditions in the developing countries – it is important to unite the efforts - to take action.

An organized and united effort is needed, because by acting alone, you might only be seen as a drop in the ocean, whereas acting united and with a common goal, can have an effect and a substantial influence.

Every achievement counts, because it sets the example for others to do the same.

The Development Instructor is typically a young and grown up person living in a country belonging to the developed part of the world, who wants to participate in the efforts to improve the living conditions for people in the poor part of the world.

His most important qualification is his will to place himself shoulder by shoulder with the people in need, concentrating all efforts to carry out actions to improve the situation where it is most needed. He embodies through his own person the significance of "People to People".



The Development Instructors are trained at one of 12 schools in Denmark, England, Norway, South Africa or USA before working on a development project.



A typical program looks like this:
6 months intensive training at The International Institute for Co-operation and Development in Massachusetts.

6 months of volunteer work at a HUMANA project in Angola, Namibia, Malawi.

2 months Follow Up Period – where information is spread in the USA about the current situation in Developing countries.
