About Program
The Orphanage Care Volunteer Program, organized by the Center for Youth in Sustainable Development (CYSD), is a compassionate initiative designed to provide love, support, and assistance to orphaned children in Nigeria. This program aims to improve the lives of vulnerable children by creating a safe and nurturing environment while promoting community engagement and empathy among volunteers.
Program Goals:
Provide Emotional Support: To offer emotional support, care, and companionship to orphaned children, ensuring they feel loved and valued.
Enhance Well-Being: To contribute to the physical and emotional well-being of the children by organizing recreational activities, educational sessions, and life skills workshops.
Community Engagement: To encourage community members, particularly young individuals, to actively participate in volunteer work and build a sense of responsibility towards orphaned children.
Promote Sustainable Care
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.
