SAFAD is a charity run exclusively by students of Cranfield University.

Our aims are:

1) To relieve poverty in any part of the world by promoting appropriate development.

2) To advance the education of the students of Cranfield University by the provision of overseas work experience.

SAFAD is a British charity run by students of Cranfield University. Since 1969 SAFAD has sent over 330 graduate and post-graduate volunteers out to over 20 different countries in the developing World. The volunteers work with local organisations on existing and new projects. They provide technical assistance and expertise and receive field experience. It is an opportunity for very specific and practical education to be put to work directly to help those in most need. Every SAFAD volunteer has been a very recent graduate or post-graduate qualified specialist in the area of water, soil, or environmental science.
