About Program
This volunteer program is located in various places throughout Ecuador. Many families and children throughout the country need a helping hand and there are various opportunities available where you can help. Programs are either in day cares or youth homes, which are sometimes the homes of the children.
It is very important for any one who is interested in this type of work to be serious about their work. Many of the children and youth who are in need are in very dire situations - they may be orphans, deprived of many necessities, and may be struggling due to various disorders and health conditions. Some of these children do not even have homes to go to in the evening.
There are many sad situations, but your help and kindness gives these children and youth hope for the future. Join our family of volunteers and find out more information at our website.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
