Azerbaijan Volunteers Public Union

The Azerbaijan Volunteers’ Public Union (further the AVPU), founded in November of 2000, is a non-governmental organization, acting in Azerbaijan. The aim of creating the AVPU is to develop the volunteers’ work in Azerbaijan, promote solution of society’s problems and improve the well – being of vulnerable population. The youth of AVPU, with the help of attracted volunteers, creates all the necessary conditions for rendering gratuitous benevolent assistance to the vulnerable people of all the different social levels of society; promotes the democratization process in Azerbaijan by educating human rights in various regions and settlements of the country.

Moreover, the AVPU set a task to take serious measures for restoring the cleanness of environment, planting greenery in the city and drawing population’s attention to existing ecological problems. In the period of strengthening the process of Azerbaijan’s integration into the World, the broad exchange of experience promotes the development of volunteers’ work as well. One of the activity forms of the AVPU is to create working camps for providing, at least, minimum needs of vulnerable population (refugees, homeless children, invalids, etc.). Organizing seminars, conferences, scientific debates and doing other kinds of activities not prohibited by legislation strengthens the AVPU’ s integration to international organizations and contributes to determining the volunteers’ role in the world.

Having realized the necessity of all the above-mentioned tasks, we have established the Azerbaijan Volunteers’ Public Union, which believes to future and is able to focus on the problems, using all the means possible.
