Micro finance & safari tour
On weekdays, individual interviews with women who run small business was insightful. I learnt how financial loan offered by Project Abroad works and what kinds of difficulties women have. I also did presentations for women and youth groups. I was a presenter but also learners about business knowledge, so two-way style was so helpful for me to learn micro finances.
On weekends, I joined a safari tour offered by Project Abroad. A tour guide led us to a wonderful tour and we saw a lot of wild animals such as lions, hippos etc. It was also nice opportunity to communicate with other volunteers. I’d appreciate this opportunity

Life changing experience
As a recently graduated high-school student, I initially booked this trip to gain some experience in the medical field, help the community and travel. However, I had the opportunity to do much more; from assisting in a local hospital, participating in the community outreaches of a less fortunate community and connecting with individuals with whom I didn’t even share a language. Projects abroad made my stay unforgettable, and found me a host family that now feels like my home away from home. I highly recommend an experience such as this one to truly understand how fortunate we are in terms of healthcare, sanitation and living conditions, 100% recommend.

Shark conservation project Fiji…
We joined the shark conservation project in Fiji. We were made to feel extremely welcome by the staff running the project and they went above and beyond to make sure that we were able to make the most of our time. The Shark dives were incredible as well as the fish survey dives, maintaining the coral nursery and planting mangroves. We learnt so much and enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you Maik for looking after us so well . We would come back in an instant.

We're so glad that your medicine internship in Greece has been a great and meaningful experience. Thank you for sharing your positive feedback Andrew!
The experience was overall incredible
The experience was incredible even the way it was organized. Although I must say that it seemed a little unfair that those not volunteering in medicine did not receive any itinerary for visits and so. We others had to find another way, which is fine, but when you see that other volunteers get this privilege it is frustrating.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback Ines! We're absolutely thrilled to hear your experience in our Human Rights internship in Tanzania was incredible. We also really appreciate you bringing up your concerns regarding the itineraries. While each project is unique, and the structure and level of pre-planned activities can vary depending on the specific nature of the work, we certainly want all our volunteers to feel equally supported and informed. Your feedback is incredibly valuable and we'll definitely be considering it to improve the experience for future volunteers across all our projects.
Thanks again for your honest review.

Construction Nepal
Mix of volounteering, cultural experience and sightseeing/leasure time.
The company is helpful and organizing transport, accommodation at local family and work. Whilst the price is high, I got an unforgettable experience from it, meeting people from around the world and being able to getting to know Nepali culture, food and way of life.

Thank you so much for your fantastic review, Pirmin!
We're thrilled to hear you had such an unforgettable experience in Nepal. It sounds like you really made the most of your trip, and we're happy our support helped you feel settled and truly enjoy the Nepali way of life.
We truly appreciate your feedback regarding the price. We always aim to be transparent about our costs from the start. While our prices might seem higher than some alternatives, we believe they're justified by the flexibility, comprehensive support, and real impact we create in the local communities we partner with.
It's important to us that you know the building project you joined in Nepal (and many of our other initiatives) is fully funded by Projects Abroad. The fees paid by participants like you are crucial; they ensure we can keep these vital projects running consistently, even when there aren't many volunteers on the ground. This means your contribution continues to make a tangible difference long after you've returned home.
Once again, we're so glad you enjoyed your time with us!

Great experience!!
I volunteered in a children's daycare centre out in Cusco for a month and it's been one of the best experiences I've ever had! All the projects abroad staff were lovely and readily available to help and the local staff at the daycare centre made me feel welcome straight away. My project allowed me to enjoy my time volunteering but meant I also had free time to explore the area which was great. The projects abroad staff help you get to know other volunteers as well by organising social events like cooking, dancing etc so it's a great way to meet other people. Would definitely recommend!!

So positive and enriching!
I was a volunteer English teacher in Cuzco, Peru, for four weeks (May 2025) and it will remain a wonderful memory. It was well organised, I was welcomed in Cuzco by a very friendly and efficient team who took great care of me ( especially when I had a slight health problem), I really enjoyed assisting the English teachers in a local boys'school and my host lady was extremely kind and welcoming. Nothing negative whatsoever. It has been a very enriching and unforgettable experience.

Wonderful experience!
Thank you so much for giving me such a wonderful opportunity! I was deeply moved by the warmth and compassion of the Fijian people. Every day brought new experiences and countless opportunity for learning. Above all, spending time with the pure-hearted and energetic Fijian children became an irreplaceable memory for me. My homestay was also a very comfortable place, thanks to the generous support of my host family. Although my stay was only one month, it was an incredibly fulfilling experience, and Fiji has become such a wonderful country that I genuinely hope to return to someday!
