Programme Options
With 90% of the world's population living in poverty, we sometimes forget how lucky we are. Voluntourism combines the comfort and relaxation of a short holiday with a responsible travel experience whilst volunteering that most precious of gifts, your time.
We offer opportunities for working alongside local people on international development projects and volunteer programmes in Africa, Asia and South America. Projects vary from country to country. They might include the refurbishment of a school or working with street children.
You could help by practicing or teaching English to children or adults. If you have practical skills they could be used in construction or healthcare programmes in isolated communities. Other areas include conservation or rehabilitation of endangered wild animals. Whatever your skills they will be used!
Normally there is a range of post-project travel options for those who wish to extend their holiday, either to do some more sightseeing, or even more voluntary work on a different site.
Voluntourism holidays offer people a real opportunity to experience, learn and contribute in ways which normal holidays cannot. They are suitable for both young and old, for groups or individuals; all you need is the time and willingness to help.
Your holiday will not only enhance the quality of life within the community you visit, but could also significant change your life!
