Make a positive impact ethically.
Volunteer
Our Placements Program welcomes international and local interns to share their skills across our 13 integrated programs, all working towards our goal of poverty alleviation. From curriculum development to marketing and social media, there are so many ways to lend a hand. Every program is led by our local team, and interns work alongside them, sharing ideas and learning from each other along the way.
Once you’re accepted, we’ll provide training and support to help you prepare, and when you arrive, our team will support you every step of the way. You’ll be part of a friendly, cross-cultural team, gaining new perspectives and making memories that stay with you long after your placement ends.
Together, we keep our impact sustainable and community-led, with every child’s safety at the heart of everything we do. We welcome anyone who shares our mission and is keen to bring their time, skills and passion to our work. Whether you have two weeks or a few months to give, there’s a placement for you.

Whether it’s marketing and fundraising, social workers, team training, or curriculum development, there are numerous opportunities for individuals to contribute their expertise and make a difference. No matter what your skills or interests may be, we have a place for you to lend a helping hand and be a vital part of our fundraising efforts.
