Welcome to the International Service Website


International Service is a development agency working in Latin America, West Africa and the Middle East. We combat poverty and oppression by working to increase global understanding of development issues and improving local society in the world’s poorest countries.
We partner with local organisations, place experienced individuals and lever resources to empower people and facilitate change.

 

Our vision:
 

A world where poverty and oppression are history.

Our awards honour the work and determination of organisations, development workers and activists who are working directly with some of the world’s most vulnerable communities. These are, until now, unsung heroes who have been striving at a grassroots level for equality for all.

Promoting Organic Family Agriculture in Pernambuco

 

Co-ordinated by IS Brazil and co-financed by the European Union. Family agriculture, agroecology, healthy food production, growing organic foods without agrochemicals, community self-management and fair trading – more than just words, these are key actions needed for the sustainable development of the Semi-Arid area(s) of Brazil.

With the objective of meeting these needs, International Service is coordinating a project in the interior of Pernambuco in partnership with 4 local NGOs (CHAPADA, CECOR, CNMP and AQCC).
