Through its network of branches, CVTL is present in each of Timor-Leste’s 13 Districts. It continuously provides much-needed assistance to communities, particularly in the remote rural areas where the humanitarian needs of people remain high.

In 2014, CVTL inaugurated its first National Headquarters building and also completed rehabilitation of 12 of our 13 branch offices.

The strengthening of its governance structures, and ongoing training of volunteers and staff ensures CVTL is well-placed to respond to humanitarian needs wherever and whenever they occur.

The leadership of the CVTL plays important role in the development of a range of operational policies and procedures that ensure its effectiveness and accountability.
