About Program
Our projects focus on the following areas:
Nutrition – our Nutrition Program is our longest running program. Ideas for projects include workshops for mother’s of families, donating an improved ingredient, or teaching a workshop to our kitchen staff.
Education – our Children’s Enrichment Program works with 40 at-risk children, five days a week.
Employment – the Sabor del Sol women’s cooperative works with indigenous women to grow their microbusiness. We also provide professional development opportunities for our employees and beneficiaries, striving to provide work opportunities for as many women in our community as we can.
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.
