Volunteering in an Orphanageโฆ for independent travellers!
Some of these opportunities areย freeย (you receiveย free food and accommodationย in exchange for voluntary work). Others require aย daily/monthly contribution feeย for the food and the accommodation. Remember that many areas around the world are still developing andย volunteering canโt always be a โfreeโ thing.
If you want to have an โimpactโ but you only have a few weeks to do volunteering abroad, then we recommend you to choose theย non-free opportunities: you will contribute not only with your skills but also with your money, especially if you can only volunteer for a short period; this is usually better than paying for a โhotelโ or a touristic village owned by foreign agencies. See the ‘Justice tourism’ page.

Our website, Voluntouring, is not a touristic agency and is not taking any agency intermediation fees from the organizations listed below. For this reason, all of your money will go directly to support the Charity.
This is also why you will find that the fees for the volunteering experiences, when requested, are generally much lower than the usual.
If you find anything suspicious, please report back to us!
The Charities listed below provided documents and government certification, but you are still responsible for the community in which you choose to volunteer.
