Why so Affordable?

We keep the overheads costs low because we cooperate directly with our partners in the destinations. And because we are a non-profit local organization, we do not charge any extra handling fee!

How do we do?

The local coordinators will go the ‘extra mile’ and beyond to help you make a long-lasting difference in the volunteer project where you will be placed. At the same time, they are always there when needed to make sure you are having a meaningful experience.
