Program Reviews

Nozomi was an incredible individual who made sure that not only me but everyone I worked with was supported well and looked after. When having issues, Nozomi was able to very effectively help us and respond fast when we needed her help! I will forever be grateful for her listening to our concerns and issues and taking it all on board it made me feel confident to use the company again for another ski season! As well as this, the people at World unite made staying in the sharehouses very comfortable with heaps of assistance

I really enjoyed the experience, because the housing accommodation was super cheap. And you should always go to everywhere within an hour. The staff was always helpful, they even helped me fill out a income declaration form in Japanese! I never had any problems when It came to paying rent or asking for a different room. I always where treated nicely. I enjoyed the movie nights some of the travelling people hosted. Mostly nice, welcoming atmosphere.

Ich habe meinen Farmaufenthalt in Waterford/Irland über World Unite! gebucht.

Man kann meine "irische" Zeit eigentlich in einem einzigen Satz zusammenfassen: Es war einzigartig!
Nicht nur Irlands malerische Landschaft, sondern auch die herzlichen Iren ließen mich schnell im Land ankommen und wohlfühlen. Meine Farm lag im Süden, direkt am Atlantischen Ozean - jeden Tag mit Blick auf das Meer zu arbeiten war eine tolles und motivierendes Erlebnis! Auch wenn ich bisher keinerlei Erfahrung mit "farming" hatte, stellte dies keinerlei Problem dar.
Meine zwei wöchentlichen freien Tage nutzte ich für Ausflüge in der Umgebung. Mit den Bussen sind viele größere (aber auch kleinere) Städte sehr gut erreichbar.

Abschließend ein ganz großes Dankeschön an Miriam von Word Unite! Mein Aufenthalt war von Anfang an PERFEKT organisiert! Sie hatte jederzeit ein offenes Ohr für meine Fragen und ich fühlte mich "rund um" bestens aufgehoben!
Ich kann es definitiv empfehlen, einen Farmaufenthalt über World Unite! zu buchen.

Volunteering with my wife at the aquarium in Zanzibar was a great experience. It was also very informative about sea turtle conservation and we left there learning more about sea turtles than we ever thought we would. The staff at the aquarium there was very friendly and always helpful. The World Unite staff was extremely helpful and very dedicated to their jobs. They were very willing to help from the time you landed on the island all the way until you left to go home. For anyone who volunteers in Zanzibar, make your voice heard because staff are willing to change things if it improves the program.

I stayed 5 weeks at the Mnarani Aquarium in Nungwi.

The time I spend there was amazing, the work there is pretty simple but you still will learn something new about the turtles there. The local staff is always friendly to you and you can make jokes with them. They will treat you like Family everyone belongs to this family.
The other volentuers are open minded and are coming all over the world so you get many different cultures there.
And on the weekend you can explore the island by your self and you have enough time.

I had a wonderful time in Japan and World Unite did a fantastic job of supporting me especially when I first arrived as this was my first time in Japan. They helped me set up my bank account and as well as a Japanese SIM card.

The area is well located with a mall nearby which has restaurants, shops and a cinema but is also close to get to places such as Shibuya.

I stayed in their share house for 2 months before moving to Sakura house Tabata. They continued to keep in contact with me and I even visited them a few times.

I definitely recommend World Unite for any one wanting to do a working holiday in Japan.

Thanks again to World Unite

Sarah and Kos are amazing! They are lovely and funny people. They showed my around the area and included me in family activities all the time! The horses are amazing and Sarah’s riding skills are insanely good, she loves to teach and makes you improve your own skills!
Sarah takes care of everyone individually so the trails are always different and fun so you don’t have to worry that the experience is gonna be the typical tourist experience.
Had a lovely time there and I definitely want to go back!

Sambhali Trust supported over more than 12 years underprivileged women and children in Rajasthan for a better future with teaching them English, Math and several workshops. Many projects in Jodphur are running very well.
In the rural area at Setrawa - a village in the desert Thar - a new project started. Our Volunteers give support to the government schools with teaching English at primary schools. This is very interesting, because we have an absolutely near contact to the local teachers and the residents of this area. I´m very glad to join the beginning of this project!

The first days of Volunteering were full of deeply impressions. The children have no chairs and tables at school and even less materials. We are teaching on board and training with speaking dialogues and learning games. On Wednesday we prepare special workshops with topics like "Environment" or "Feeling good in our body and our mind".
I´m so deeply moved by the attention of these children and their will to learn. They are so lovely and joyful. Even their laughing I can hear in my mind by preparing the next lesson at evening - when sitting together in our Volunteer-Team under beautiful stars.

I really liked the atmosphere in the rainforest camp and that you build your own little community. During the day you work, in the evenings you talk, play cards or other games or stay in your tent and take time for yourself. The staff was extremely helpful. They even help you organizing touristy tours. The food in the camp is quite good. I like that you also work together with locals and get in touch with them. Everybody in the camp cares about the environment, nature, wildlife, children and the neighborhood. It's interesting that each day looks different than the other. It helps when you stay flexible, open minded and watch the preparation videos to get a good feeling of what to expect. I would go again. =)

This was the first time I travelled to Africa and I enjoyed the experience from the first day. The staff of World Unite! was supportive in any aspect and made me feel welcome even before my arrival. Once there, I met a lot of lovely people in Mweka/Moshi both among the locals and the other volunteers, and I really felt part of the community. Of course, staying at the forest camp may be a little tough for someone, due to the quite cold and very wet climate, but dwelling right at the border of the Kilimanjaro National Park is an unmatchable experience. As for the camp, it has been newly settled and it is pretty comfortable, apt to host many guests. The activities are of different types: taking care of the tree nursery, collecting seeds, planting seedlings, cleaning the streets, helping local farmers and more. Mr Sikievu, the man who leads the project in coordination with the World Unite! staff, is a great source of inspiration and will teach you a lot about the project itself and about the culture of the region. Other local people work at the camp cooking, keeping watch and doing works of diverse kind; all of them really made us volunteers feel at home, and the connection we established was precious and sincere. Miriam and Adelina were of invaluable help and support, at any time committing to make you get the most out of your stay in Tanzania. I am so grateful of everything and definitely recommend this experience!
