Corporate Social Service

The concept of “pro bono” corresponds to a partnership between an enterprise or public organisation, its employees and Projects Abroad Pro who cooperate for the benefit of a partner organisation in a developing country.

The employees bring their enthusiasm, skills and experience as well as their free time to participate in a volunteering project in a developing country. Visit the “Pro bono for employees” page for more details about the advantages for employees.

The enterprise or public organisation finances all or part of the volunteering project and can integrate the pro bono work into a global policy of sustainable development or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Visit the “Pro bono for employers” page for more details about the advantages for employers.

Projects Abroad Pro sets up the volunteering project in an extremely flexible way in order to take into account the needs and requirements of the employer and the employees.

The partner organisation welcomes the volunteers and makes use of their skills, qualifications and experience to improve their product or service.
