Gen Purp VOCA is an international people-to-people volunteer organization committed to strengthening democratic institutions, enhancing economic opportunities of cooperatives and agriculturally-based enterprises, and improving the environment of rural communities. VOCA's major objectives include the promotion of agribusiness development, environmental education and improvement (Volunteer Environmental Corps (VEC)), building grassroots democratic institutions, and women and agriculture.
NIS Role VOCA provides support, through short term technical assistance, to CEE/NIS countries to develop private farming and private agribusinesses. VOCA's activities are focused at the grassroots level; however the work done by VOCA volunteers has resulted in requests for assistance at the regional and national level as well. The co-ops, producer associations and agribusiness enterprises which VOCA has helped to stand on their own merits give credibility to the concept that farmer-owned and controlled cooperatives, producer associations and other private agribusinesses are key to the region's development.

Radiation readings in the southeastern part of the NIS range up to 20 times the normal rate. An estimated four million people are at risk of serious health problems. The 800,000 children in this area are considered in the most serious danger, due to their greater susceptibility to radiation poisoning.

The project assists communities in medical intervention and treatment, provide medicines, radiation-free food and clean air camps for children, and medical training.
