Timor Leste Vision Inc

Timor Leste Vision (TLV) is a volunteer run, not-for-profit organisation based in Perth which works in partnership with the people of Timor Leste (East Timor) to support and strengthen local communities. Our organisation relies on the time of our dedicated volunteers and the generosity of the local community. All projects are designed and delivered in collaboration with Timorese communities with the aim to create sustainable livelihoods for the people in Timor by addressing development needs in areas such as education, agriculture and infrastructure. Our charter ensures all programs reflect the changing needs and wishes of the communities we work with. TLV has an In-country team and representatives of the organisation visit from Australia throughout the duration of the project.
